How to Style Moroccan Rugs in Every Room of Your Home By Berberugallery Team

 Moroccan rugs are incredibly versatile—whether you're decorating a minimalist loft, a cozy boho bedroom, or a vibrant living room. Their unique textures, colors, and handmade patterns can instantly elevate any space.

In this post, we’ll show you how to style Moroccan rugs in different areas of your home—and offer tips on picking the right rug for each one.

🛋️ 1. Living Room: Make a Statement

Your living room is the heart of your home, and a Moroccan rug can be the anchor.

  • Go big: Choose a rug large enough to fit under your coffee table and front legs of sofas or chairs.

  • Neutral or bold? A Beni Ourain works beautifully in modern or Scandinavian spaces. Want something more vibrant? Go with a Boujad or Azilal for a pop of color.

  • Layer it: Try layering a small Moroccan rug over a large jute or flatweave base for texture and contrast.

🛏️ 2. Bedroom: Softness Underfoot

There’s nothing like stepping out of bed onto soft wool.

  • Place a runner on each side of the bed, or go for a larger rug that frames the bed entirely.

  • Stick with soft, cozy options like Beni Ourain or vintage Boujad rugs with warm tones.

  • Don’t be afraid to mix patterns—your rug can be a centerpiece beneath neutral bedding.

🧼 3. Bathroom: Small Rug, Big Impact

Surprising, right? But yes—Moroccan Boucherouite rugs work beautifully in bathrooms.

  • Their recycled materials and bright colors bring life to small spaces.

  • Place one in front of the sink or shower for a unique, handmade touch.

  • Just make sure the bathroom is well-ventilated to avoid moisture buildup.

🍽️ 4. Dining Room: Define the Space

A rug under your dining table adds warmth and structure.

  • Pick a rug large enough to extend at least 60 cm beyond the edges of your table.

  • Look for flatweave Kilims or low-pile vintage rugs that are easier to clean.

  • Bold patterns help hide crumbs and stains—perfect for busy households.

🪟 5. Entryway or Hallway: First Impressions Matter

Your entryway sets the tone for your entire home.

  • Use a narrow Azilal or Boucherouite runner to add personality and welcome guests with color.

  • These rugs can handle foot traffic and are easy to shake or vacuum.

  • Choose rugs with vibrant hues to brighten up tight or dimly lit hallways.

🎨 6. Walls: Art You Can Feel

Why not hang a Moroccan rug like a tapestry?

  • Lightweight flatweaves or vintage pieces with strong symbolism look stunning on the wall.

  • Use a simple rod or wooden hanger to display them.

  • It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the art and culture behind the rug.

Final Tips

  • Balance the room: If your rug is bold, keep surrounding decor more neutral—and vice versa.

  • Mix styles: Moroccan rugs blend well with modern, boho, vintage, rustic, and even industrial designs.

  • Trust your instincts: Go with what you love. Rugs are deeply personal and emotional pieces.
