Moroccan Area Rug Handmade Yellow Beni Ourain Wool

From $89 to $12,440

This handmade moroccan area rug centers a warm mustard ochre field beneath bold, hand-drawn black linework, a true Beni Ourain design woven for a boho living room. Handcrafted by Amazigh (Berber) artisans high in Morocco's Atlas Mountains, it is knotted from 100% natural sheep wool at roughly ten to sixteen knots per square inch, then hand washed in mountain water and coloured with natural dyes. The golden ochre ground is what draws the eye first, but the character lives in the details: charcoal black bars, blocks of sage green, soft ivory, and small teal and coral accents that give this abstract weave a mid-century feel. None of it is printed or machine tufted. Every colour is knotted in as the rug is made, which is why the motifs carry the gentle irregularity that only true handwork can give. With a deep, plush shag pile of around an inch and a half and a knotted ivory fringe at both ends, this Moroccan carpet feels wonderfully soft underfoot. It is built to anchor a living room seating area, warm the foot of a bed, or add colour to an entryway. The mustard and green palette works beautifully with walnut wood tones, leather, and plenty of greenery for a relaxed, collected look. To care for it, vacuum on a gentle setting without a beater bar, spot clean with cold water and mild detergent, and rotate the rug seasonally so the pile wears evenly. An annual professional cleaning keeps the wool fresh and the colours vivid. Wool is naturally resilient and slightly stain-resistant, so with a little routine care this carpet is built to be lived on for years and to soften and improve with age. Available in standard 8x10, 9x12 and 12x15 formats and made to order for your exact room dimensions. Every piece ships free, rolled and wrapped with full tracking, arriving ready to unroll as a memorable centrepiece or housewarming gift.
