Sellers on Etsy offer countless types of hand-woven Moroccan rugs, from Moroccan runner rugs for hallways to Moroccan area rugs for living rooms. Look for these sought-after types:
- Moroccan Berber rugs: Every rug made by Morocco’s Berber tribes is technically a Moroccan Berber rug. Each northern African and Sahara Desert tribe typically weaves several different styles.
- Beni Ourain rugs: These soft wool rugs are some of Morocco’s most sought-after pieces. Minimalist Beni Ourain rugs are woven in the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco. They’re usually neutral-colored with geometric patterns.
- Moroccan rag rugs: To make boucherouite rugs (aka rag rugs), weavers tie old rags into knots.
- Boujad rugs: Crafted in the Central Plains region of Morocco, Boujad rugs are prized for vivid hues such as crimson, indigo, fuchsia, and tangerine.
Do you love all things old and beautiful? Consider vintage Moroccan rugs to bring Morocco’s rich folklore into your space. Nearly every vintage rug has a story behind it, so look closely for the aspects that make your rug unique. You may discover motifs representing life events such as childhood, marriage, birth, and more. Colors carry meaning, too: For example, red symbolizes protection and strength; green, peace; yellow, eternity; and blue, wisdom.
