1The Moroccan Aesthetic

Moroccan rugs are defined by their distinctive design heritage. Berber tribes developed these patterns over centuries, with each design carrying cultural meaning.

The typical Moroccan aesthetic features geometric shapes—diamonds, zigzags, and abstract symbols—rendered in neutral tones of cream, grey, and black. This restrained palette allows Moroccan rugs to anchor spaces without overwhelming other design elements.

Centuries of artisan heritage translated into modern Canadian homes.

Why Moroccan Style Works in Canadian Homes

The neutral palette of Moroccan rugs complements Canadian interiors beautifully. The cream and grey tones work with the natural wood, exposed brick, and clean white walls common in Canadian design.

The plush pile traditionally associated with Moroccan rugs provides warmth during long winters. The global sophistication adds character without the maintenance concerns of authentic hand-knotted imports.

Neutral tones, cozy texture, global character—perfect for Canadian spaces.

Facts that might surprise you

Berber Heritage

Traditional Moroccan rugs were woven by Berber tribes in the Atlas Mountains, with patterns passed down through generations and each design carrying symbolic meaning.

The Beni Ourain

The most famous Moroccan rug style is the Beni Ourain, featuring cream backgrounds with bold geometric patterns. These rugs became mid-century modern staples after designers like Frank Lloyd Wright embraced them.

Symbolic Geometry

Moroccan rug patterns often carry meaning—diamonds represent protection, zigzags symbolize water or mountains, and abstract shapes may tell stories specific to the weaver's family.

Buying Guide

When selecting Moroccan-style rugs, consider pattern boldness and neutral tone variation.

When selecting Moroccan-style rugs, consider pattern boldness and neutral tone variation. Authentic aesthetics feature slightly irregular geometry—avoid overly perfect patterns.

1

Pattern Authenticity

Traditional Moroccan patterns feature deliberate imperfections that reflect handcraft origins. Avoid overly perfect, machine-precise geometry.

Look for organic variation in line weight and spacing.

2

Neutral Palette Variations

Classic Moroccan rugs feature cream/ivory backgrounds with grey, black, or charcoal patterns. Some include warm tan or beige tones.

Avoid versions with bright colours that depart from traditional aesthetics.

3

Texture Expectations

Authentic Moroccan rugs are known for plush, shaggy pile. CloudMat's construction provides similar visual texture with the practical advantage of machine washability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is special about Moroccan rugs?

If you love the Moroccan aesthetic but want a more practical option for everyday Canadian living, CloudMat's Moroccan-style rugs offer the geometric beauty at a fraction of the cost with added benefits like machine washability and cushioned comfort.
How to tell if a Moroccan rug is real?
Authentic Moroccan rugs feature slight imperfections in the weave, natural wool fibres that feel soft but sturdy, and geometric patterns with minor irregularities that reflect handcraft origins.

Other styles include the Azilal (more colourful), Boucherouite (made from recycled textiles), and Kilim (flatweave). Each style originated from different Berber tribes across Morocco's Atlas Mountains. CloudMat's collection draws inspiration from the popular Beni Ourain aesthetic that works beautifully in Canadian homes.
Are Moroccan rugs in style?
