The Rich History of Moroccan Shag Rugs
Moroccan shag rugs, also known as Beni Ourain rugs, have a fascinating history that dates back centuries. Originating from the Berber tribes in the Atlas Mountains, these rugs were initially designed for practical purposes. The thick, high-pile wool provided much-needed warmth and comfort during the cold mountain winters. Over time, they have become highly sought-after pieces of art, renowned for their authenticity and charm.
The intricate designs and patterns of Moroccan shag rugs are deeply rooted in Berber culture. Each rug tells a story, with symbols and motifs representing aspects of daily life, spiritual beliefs, and natural surroundings. When you bring a Moroccan shag rug into your home, you’re not just adding a stylish accessory; you’re also embracing a piece of history and tradition.

The Craftsmanship Behind Our Shag Rugs
At WEBERBER, we take pride in offering rugs that are crafted with the utmost care and precision. Our artisans use traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations to create each Beni Ourain rug. This meticulous process involves sourcing the finest quality wool, carefully dyeing it using natural dyes, and then weaving the wool into intricate patterns and designs.
Here’s a glimpse into the step-by-step process of creating our exquisite Moroccan shag rugs:
- Wool Selection: The process begins with selecting the finest wool, which is known for its softness, durability, and natural sheen.
- Cleaning and Spinning: The raw wool is thoroughly cleaned and then spun into yarn using traditional techniques.
- Dyeing: Natural dyes extracted from plants and minerals are used to color the yarn, ensuring vibrant and long-lasting hues.
- Weaving: Skilled weavers use handlooms to create the distinctive shag texture, incorporating traditional patterns and motifs.
- Finishing Touches: The finished rug undergoes meticulous quality checks to ensure it meets our standards of excellence.
This artisan process not only ensures the creation of rugs that are visually stunning but also guarantees their durability and longevity.
How to Style Your Moroccan Shag Rug
Moroccan shag rugs are incredibly versatile and can complement any room in your home. Here are some tips to help you style these beautiful rugs:
In the Living Room
Place your Moroccan shag rug in the center of your living room to create a cozy and inviting space. The plush texture and intricate patterns will add warmth and depth to the room. Pair the rug with minimalist furniture to let its beauty shine, or add more ethnic elements like Moroccan poufs and lanterns for a cohesive look.
In the Bedroom
Position the rug at the foot of your bed or partially underneath it to create a soft, luxurious landing spot. The high-pile wool will provide extra comfort on cold mornings. Opt for neutral-colored rugs for a serene atmosphere, or choose bold patterns to add a touch of drama.
In the Dining Area
Use a Moroccan shag rug under your dining table to add texture and warmth to your dining area. Ensure that the rug is large enough to accommodate the table and chairs comfortably. The intricate designs will create a visually stunning focal point, making your dining experience more enjoyable.
In a Cozy Nook
Create a cozy reading nook or relaxation corner with a Moroccan shag rug as the foundation. Add some floor cushions, a low table, and soft lighting to complete the space. The rug’s softness will make it a favorite spot for unwinding and relaxation.
Caring for Your Moroccan Shag Rug
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep your Moroccan shag rug looking its best for years to come. Here are some tips to help you care for your rug:
Regular Vacuuming
Vacuum your rug regularly to remove dirt and dust that can accumulate in the fibers. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment or a vacuum designed for high-pile carpets to avoid damaging the rug.
Spot Cleaning
Address spills and stains promptly to prevent them from setting into the fibers. Blot the spill with a clean, dry cloth and use a mild detergent solution for spot cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the wool.
Professional Cleaning
Consider professional cleaning once a year to keep your rug in pristine condition. Professional cleaners have the expertise and equipment to deep clean and refresh your rug without causing damage.
Rotate the Rug
Rotate your rug periodically to ensure even wear and prevent areas of the rug from becoming worn out. This is especially important if the rug is placed in a high-traffic area.
