Rooted in the centuries-old traditions of the Berber tribes of North Africa, Moroccan rugs are known for their bold geometric patterns, plush textures, and symbolic motifs representing nature, life, and spirituality. Whether handwoven by artisans in Morocco or reimagined in modern Moroccan-style rugs, each piece reflects a rich design heritage fused with timeless character.
From neutral Beni Ourain rugs to vibrant Azilal and Boujad styles, Moroccan rugs add warmth, texture, and depth to interiors of all kinds—from bohemian and eclectic to minimalist and Scandinavian.
