WELCME TO MY SHOP MedinaCraftMA FOR BUY NEW RUG
Whether you are looking to add some charm to your home or your office, you may want to seriously consider purchasing a Moroccan rug. Moroccan rugs are beautiful, stylish, and can enrich virtually any room. If you want to make a statement to friends, family, or guests, a Moroccan rug is a great way to do it.
But having said this, before purchasing a Moroccan rug in medinacraft MA, it is important to do your homework. In this article, you will find a discussion of what Moroccan rugs actually are, how they are made, and the different styles of Moroccan rugs. Understanding these basic facts, you will be able to find and purchase the best Moroccan rug for your particular needs.
Moroccan Rugs: The Basics
To start, it is helpful to settle on a basic definition of a Moroccan rug itself. At the most basic level, Moroccan rugs (also known as berber rugs) are “the weaves, carpets, and textiles that have been traditionally hand-woven in Morocco.” It is a simple as that. According to experts, Moroccans have been weaving rugs since the Paleolithic Era. While these rugs were initially for utilitarian reasons rather than decorative reasons, consumers throughout the world have come to admire the sheer beauty of these rugs.
These rugs are made through traditional hand weaving. Once the rug is woven (which may take several weeks), it takes several additional weeks to wash the rug by hand and dry it out in the sun. For more details on how berber rugs are actually made, feel free to check out this fascinating article. Ultimately, it takes a great deal of human care, attention to detail, and time, which is why Moroccan rugs can be so unique and awe-inspiring.
Different Styles
Beyond this umbrella category of “Moroccan rugs,” there are several different types of berber rugs that you can purchase. For instance, there is the Beni Ourain rug. These Moroccan rugs, which have been called “the most prestigious rugs from Morocco,” are made of pure sheepskin wool. Traditionally, they contain a light tan color, although you may stumble upon Beni Ourain rugs that are turquoise or taupe. By purchasing a Beni Ourain rug, you are getting a rug that is minimalist and timeless. They can find their place in any classical or modern home.
Beyond the Beni Ourain rug, there is the Azilal rug. These berber rugs are exclusively made by women. The color of these rugs comes from vegetable dyes and is quite different than your standard Beni Ourain rug. That said, you will notice that the Azilal rug is similar to a Beni Ourain rug in that they both have a plushy and thick feel. If you are looking to make a statement with your berber rug, you may want to seriously consider purchasing an Azilal rug.
From the Azilal rug, there is the Kilim rug. They are not as soft as woven rugs because they are flat woven. While the Kilim rug may not be the best choice if you’d like to lounge on the floor with your children, these rugs are beautiful. They have fascinating designs and colors. Ultimately, they are meant to be pieces of art that you can admire from a distance.
Next, there is the Boho rug. This Moroccan rug, while not as popular as others on this list, is bright and stylish. They often have a diamond image in the middle with a central area comprised of uniform colors like blue, green, red, or purple. Out of all berber rugs, these tend to be the most expensive.
Finally, there is the Boujad rug. This rug is like the Beni Ourain rug, but it often contains a mix of pink, orange, and purple colors. You will also find irregular geometric patterns in these rugs, which show off the designer’s creativity.
A Wealth of Choices
Moroccan rugs can be an excellent choice for your home or office. Whether you opt for a Beni Ourain rug, Azilal rug, or something else, you are sure to find a berber rug that is perfect for you. Make sure that you do your research, read reviews, and come to a decision that meets all of your needs and goals. We wish you the best of luck!

4 out of 5 starsItem exactly the same as the photo. But straw is very rustic. I thought the bag would be a little bigger. The shipping packaging could be improved. It arrived very quickly. Excelent reception.
