Handmade Moroccan Area Rugs in Wool
Moroccan area rugs made by hand in wool, most of them patterned in geometric or abstract designs on blue, grey, beige or black. Sizes start with small 3x5 pieces and go up to 12x15 for open-plan rooms, with a few long runners for hallways.
A Moroccan rug is often the most graphic thing on the floor. The rugs in this collection are made by hand in wool on a cotton foundation, and most carry geometric or abstract designs. They're sized for rooms people actually furnish: living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas and the occasional long hallway.
"Moroccan rug" is a broad name. Plenty of shoppers search for the same look as Berber rugs, after the Amazigh weaving traditions of North Africa, and specialist dealers split the category further by region and pattern type. We keep the listings practical instead. Each product page lists the exact measurements, main color, thickness and age, so you can compare two rugs without guessing.
One rug per listing: At Rug N Carpet, every Moroccan rug in this collection is a single piece with its own photos and measurements. The rug you see on the product page is the rug that ships.
Why Choose Moroccan Rugs?
Only One of Each
Every rug here has its own design and colors. If a piece catches your eye, there isn't a second copy waiting in the warehouse.
About Half an Inch Thick
Most rugs here are about 12 mm thick, just under half an inch, with a soft wool surface. If the rug goes under a dining table or near a door, check the thickness on the product page first.
Free Shipping, 14-Day Returns
Shipping is free worldwide, and you can return a rug within 14 days of delivery. The details are in our shipping policy and return policy.
Sizes for Main Rooms
Most of the collection falls between 6x9 and 10x14. A few 12x15 rugs cover open-plan spaces, and long runners work in hallways.
Choose a Moroccan Rug by Color
Color does most of the work in a Moroccan rug, because the patterns tend to repeat across the whole field. Start with the color your room already has the most of.
Blue Moroccan Rugs
The widest choice in the collection, from deep navy grounds to lighter blues with white lines. Blue sits well next to wood floors and white walls.
Grey and Black Moroccan Rugs
Grey pieces keep a room calm. Black ones add sharper contrast under a pale sofa or a light dining table.
Beige and Neutral Moroccan Rugs
Beige, brown and a few white pieces for rooms where the rug should add texture and pattern without a strong color.
Turquoise, Pink and Red
Smaller groups for a bedroom or a reading corner where the rug is meant to be noticed first.
Pattern note: Most rugs in this collection are geometric. A smaller share is abstract or contemporary, and only a handful are striped or plain. If you want a quiet rug, look for low contrast between the pattern and the ground color in the photos.
Moroccan Rug Sizes by Room
A small 3x5 works inside an entry or beside a bed, and a 5x7 or 5x8 fits under a reading chair or at the foot of a bed. For a living room, a 6x9 or 8x10 lets the front legs of the sofa and chairs rest on the rug, and an 8x10 also works under a queen bed. Move to 9x12 or 10x14 when the rug needs to hold a whole seating group, a king bed with room on both sides, or a dining table with the chairs pulled out. The 12x15 rugs are for open-plan rooms. The runners, about 3 feet wide and 10 to 14 feet long, suit hallways and long entries. Our rug size guide for every room has layouts with measurements.
Size note: Size names are rounded to the nearest standard size. One 8x10 in this collection measures 7'8" × 9'9", another 7'9" × 9'7". Check the exact measurements on the product page before you order, especially if the rug has to fit between fixed walls or doors.
Care Tips for Wool Moroccan Rugs
Vacuum once a week with suction only, or with the beater bar switched off, and go with the direction of the pile. Turn the rug around every six months so sunlight and foot traffic even out. Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth and a little cold water, working from the edge of the stain inward. A rug pad keeps the rug from sliding on wood or tile and takes some of the wear off the back. For more detail, see our wool rug care guide.
Care note: Don't steam clean, soak or machine wash a wool rug, and avoid stiff brushes on the pile. For a deep clean, use a professional rug cleaner who hand-washes wool rugs.
Common Moroccan Rug Questions
How thick are these Moroccan rugs?
Most area rugs in this collection are about 12 mm thick, just under half an inch. The runners and small 3x5 pieces are thinner, at about 10 mm. Each product page lists the exact thickness.
What are the rugs made of?
They're handmade in wool on a cotton foundation. The wool forms the pile you walk on, and the cotton forms the base it's built on.
Do the photos show the actual rug?
Yes. Each listing is a single rug, and the photos and measurements on the product page belong to that rug. The rug you see is the rug that ships.
Is a Berber rug the same as Berber carpet?
No. In the US, "Berber carpet" usually means machine-made, loop-pile wall-to-wall carpet that borrowed the name. A Berber or Moroccan rug is a handmade area rug with a pile and a pattern. This collection contains handmade area rugs only.
Can I vacuum a Moroccan rug?
Yes. Use suction only or turn off the beater bar, and vacuum in the direction of the pile. Wool rugs can release a few loose fibers, which is normal and not a sign of damage.
Why doesn't my 8x10 measure exactly 8 by 10 feet?
Handmade rugs are named by the nearest standard size. An "8x10" here can measure a few inches shorter on either side, so the product page measurement is the one to plan with.
