What is a Beni Ourain Moroccan rug?

Beni Ourain is the name of a group of Berber tribes living in the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco. For generations, they have woven thick, soft wool rugs to protect themselves from the cold mountain winters, using them as blankets as well as floor coverings.

A Beni Ourain rug is recognisable by its deep wool pile and its simple geometric patterns — diamonds, lines and zigzags drawn freehand by the weaver. In the 20th century, these rugs became a favourite of modernist architects and designers, and they remain a timeless choice today. Learn more in our guide to the types of Moroccan rugs.

Material, texture and design

The thick wool pile is soft underfoot. Freehand black lines form zigzag borders along both sides and a chain of diamonds down the centre, and the ends finish with natural wool fringes.

Why choose this small beni ourain rug?

A small beni ourain rug is more than a floor covering: it is a piece of Moroccan craft made to last for years. Hand-knotted wool is naturally hard-wearing, it keeps a room warmer and quieter, and it feels soft under bare feet. Because no two rugs are the same, you get a piece that nobody else has — chosen for its pattern, its colours and its character rather than picked from a catalogue.

Care instructions

• Vacuum regularly without the beater bar.
• Turn the rug every few months so it wears evenly.
• Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth — do not rub.
• For a deep clean, use a professional rug cleaner.
• A little shedding during the first weeks is normal for a hand-knotted wool rug.

Every piece is unique

Because it is made entirely by hand, your rug may show small irregularities in shape, colour and pattern. They are the signature of the artisan and part of its charm.
