Boujaad shag rug – Cozy Moroccan Shag with Artistic Charm
Boujaad shag rug: Moroccan Style Meets Comfort
Introduce some Moroccan flair into your home with our Boujaad shag rug, an 8.1 x 4.9 ft (248 x 150 cm) handwoven masterpiece. Crafted in Morocco’s Middle Atlas region, this shag rug offers not only style but also a luxurious, soft texture that makes it perfect for cozy spaces. Its abstract design blends traditional Boujaad motifs with playful, modern artistry, giving your room a unique personality.
The Boujaad weaving tradition is celebrated for its creativity, color variety, and storytelling through patterns. This piece captures that spirit while adding warmth and dimension to your interior.
Origin and Cultural Heritage
Boujaad rugs come from the Haouz region of Morocco, where artisans have passed down weaving techniques for generations. Known for their vivid colors and freeform designs, Boujaad rugs often reflect the weaver’s personal narrative. Each symbol, shape, or motif has meaning—ranging from protection and fertility to harmony and life’s journey.
The Boujaad shag rug combines these symbolic roots with a contemporary, shaggy pile that invites touch and comfort.
A Soft, Plush Texture
One of the defining features of this rug is its deep, high-pile wool surface. The fibers are hand-spun and naturally crimped, creating a cushiony texture underfoot. This plush quality not only feels luxurious but also adds a sense of depth to the design.
Whether placed in a living room, bedroom, or reading nook, this rug turns the floor into a cozy, inviting space.
Abstract Design with Moroccan Influence
The rug’s abstract design is a blend of geometric shapes, organic lines, and freeform patterns. The color palette may include warm earthy tones, deep jewel hues, or soft neutrals, depending on the artisan’s vision.
Boujaad rugs often break away from rigid symmetry, favoring fluid compositions. This makes each piece truly one-of-a-kind and gives your space an artistic focal point that sparks conversation.
Perfect Dimensions for Versatile Placement
At 8.1 x 4.9 ft, this rug offers versatility. It can serve as a central area rug in a small to medium room, a statement piece at the foot of the bed, or a luxurious accent in a reading corner. Its rectangular shape works equally well in open-plan layouts and more intimate spaces.
Styling the Boujaad shag rug

Bohemian Homes: Layer with kilim cushions and woven wall hangings for a collected, global vibe.

Functional Beauty
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Boujaad Abstract Rug is practical for everyday living. Wool’s natural properties make it resistant to dirt, stains, and odors. The dense shag pile also provides insulation, keeping rooms warmer in cooler months.
Its durability ensures that it will maintain its beauty for years, even in high-traffic areas.
Caring for Your Rug
Vacuum gently using a low-suction setting to protect the fibers. Rotate every few months to ensure even wear. Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth, using mild soap if needed. For deeper cleaning, a professional rug cleaner experienced with handwoven wool rugs is recommended.

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.

Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?

For other international orders shipped outside of Morocco, please be aware that your country's customs office may impose import duties, taxes, or fees. These potential charges are the responsibility of the customer.

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.
