How to Choose the Best Moroccan Rug for Your Room

Selecting a rug can be intimidating, not only because of its large size (it's often one of the largest items in a room) but also because of the intimidating price tags that can accompany them. The truth is, when it comes to choosing the right Moroccan rug for a space, the number one rule is: there are no rules! Having said that, there are some aesthetic and practical factors to consider, ranging from fiber density (or pile) to dimensions and proportions — not to mention color and pattern. Not sure where to begin?

 


Know How to Spot Quality, Whether It’s a Vintage Rug or a Brand-New One


Look for the words 'hand knotted', 'handwoven', or even 'handmade'. Those are the first indicators that you're purchasing a long-lasting Moroccan rug. This is especially true for vintage rugs that are 50 years or older, as well as antique rugs that are 100 years or older. Not seeing a tag that confirms this information, or want to double-check? Examine the underside of a rug: Handwoven if the knots are uneven; machine-made or hand-loomed if the knots are symmetrical or consistent.
