Moroccan Beni Ourain Wool Rug – Timeless Berber Elegance
Handcrafted with traditional techniques, our Moroccan Beni Ourain Wool Rug brings warmth and texture to any room. Made from premium wool and measuring 11.4 x 7.8 ft / 347 x 239 cm, this rug features the iconic Beni Ourain diamond pattern. A perfect balance of timeless tradition and modern design, it is both luxurious and durable.
The Legacy of Beni Ourain Rugs
The Beni Ourain tribe, living in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, is world-renowned for creating rugs with distinctive black diamond patterns on a white background. Each rug is an expression of heritage, spirituality, and personal stories woven into wool. Adding a Rug to your home means welcoming centuries of tradition and artistry. These rugs have long been considered cultural treasures and are admired globally for their understated beauty.
Hand-Knotted Craftsmanship
Every rug is hand-knotted by skilled Berber women using traditional wooden looms. Artisans carefully wash, spin, and prepare natural sheep wool before weaving. The high-pile texture provides softness and insulation, while the dense wool fibers ensure durability. This labor-intensive process can take weeks or months, making each rug one-of-a-kind. Unlike machine-made carpets, no two Beni Ourain rugs are identical. Each carries its own character and history.
Ideal Size for Versatility
This rug’s size—11.4 x 7.8 ft (347 x 239 cm)—makes it perfect for medium to large rooms. Place it under a dining table, in the living room, or as a centerpiece in a spacious bedroom. Its rectangular shape ensures balance in open layouts, while the diamond motifs create rhythm and harmony. Large enough to make a statement but versatile enough to fit different spaces, it adapts beautifully.
Styling with Moroccan Beni Ourain rug
Interior designers love Beni Ourain rugs for their adaptability. Pair one with modern furniture for a contemporary look or with rustic wood and textiles for a cozy Moroccan-inspired space. The black and white contrast works seamlessly with muted tones and vibrant color palettes alike. Whether styled as a statement rug or a subtle layer of comfort, its design enhances any décor.
A Sustainable and Ethical Choice
Buying a Moroccan wool rug supports traditional artisans and sustainable craftsmanship. Each rug provides fair income for Berber women, helping preserve cultural traditions in the Middle Atlas. Wool is renewable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly, making it a responsible choice. By investing in a Moroccan Beni Ourain Wool Rug, you’re contributing to both ethical trade and environmental sustainability.
Caring for Your Wool Rug
Maintaining your rug is simple with regular care. Vacuum gently on both sides to remove dust and dirt. For stains, blot carefully with cold water and mild detergent—never rub. Allow it to dry flat to preserve shape. Professional cleaning every few years is recommended to restore texture and vibrancy. With mindful care, your rug will last for decades, keeping its charm intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my Moroccan rug?
Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.
◈ Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers.
◈ Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water.
◈ Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan.
◈ Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
◈ Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity.
◈ Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush.
◈ Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed.
◈ Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection.
◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

How do you package the rugs to make sure they arrive safely?
We guarantee that your rug will arrive safely and in excellent condition, having been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, if necessary, restored prior to dispatch. We then fold it carefully and wrap it in multiple layers of durable, weather-resistant material to ensure it is fully protected from moisture and handling during its journey to you.

Please remember that our rugs are handmade by artisans, not by machines. Slight variations in color, pattern, weave, and size are natural characteristics of these one-of-a-kind items. These charming imperfections are not considered defects but are part of the unique story and beauty of each piece.
Is Moroccan wool rugs durable and suitable for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Hand-knotted from 100% sheep wool, Moroccan rugs are renowned for their durability and resilience. Our rugs are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces, but be sure to follow care instructions, like rotating regularly, to keep it looking its best for years.
Do newly made wool Moroccan rugs shed?
It is completely normal for a new wool rug to shed a little at first. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibres and a sign of its authenticity. This initial shedding will decrease significantly over a few weeks with regular, gentle vacuuming.
Will the rug I receive look exactly like the one in the photo?
You will receive the exact rug shown in the photos. However, please remember that these are handmade items. We do our best to capture the colours accurately, but they may vary slightly depending on your screen's lighting and calibration. Any minor variations or "imperfections" in the pattern are part of the unique story and charm of your one-of-a-kind piece.
What are your rugs made of?
Our rugs are crafted from 100% natural, locally sourced sheep's wool. The wool's quality gives the rugs their signature softness, durability, and rich texture. The foundation (or warp) of the rug is sometimes made of cotton, which provides a strong and stable base for the wool knots.
