Moroccan Rugs

Adding a touch of ethnicity to your home's interiors by using furniture, accessories, and rugs is a sure way to brighten up the atmosphere! Over the past few years, decorating homes in ethnic styles has become extremely popular. Sensing the demand for original tribal art from various places around the world, even big stores such as Target have started to launch complete furnishing lines that reflect a particular culture or region such as Indian or Japanese home furnishing lines.

One of the most popular emerging styles is Moroccan, especially in the carpet and rug industry. Hand-woven Moroccan rugs are a fantastic way to invite warmth and create a bright and charming atmosphere in your home.

Moroccan rugs have been infusing the magic of color and art to the homes of millions over the world. Moroccan rugs and art have been widely connected to the west and examples of this can be seen in Bauhaus movement or in the works of American designers like Billy Baldwin during the 1960's and 1970's.

The simple geometric patterns of Moroccan rugs have been used for long to lend a stylish, urbane and sophisticated look to most modern furnishings. The famous pile rugs from the Middle Atlas Mountain region of Morocco are proudly displayed in renowned historic houses such as Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Fallingwater and Charles and Ray Eames spectacular Pacific Palisades house in California.

And with the late 1990's, Moroccan rugs revival was imminent as designers and public showed a renewed interest for elements of the 1960's and 70's eras, both in terms of style and color. Bright and warm hues of oranges and saffron yellows reflecting in Moroccan rugs geometrical patterns were scene stealers. Moreover, these rugs are made from spun wool and had an authentic indigenous character making them 'one-of-a-kind' with a quality that was hard to find in their synthetic factory made modern cousins.

Moroccan rugs were and are still being made by the Berbers, who are an indigenous tribe of North African region living in Morocco. These weavers use hand-dyed wool to weave the rugs, giving each rug its unique design, use of colors, and patterns. Other types of Moroccan rugs are 'kilims' or 'hanbal' which are lightweight, flat in weave and their motifs are made with variations of red, blue, green, yellow, mauve and white. The price of Moroccan rugs is usually determined by the size, quality of the design and the colors used.
