Moroccan rugs are my number one choice for bedroom decor. If you know me, you know I LOVE color throughout the home. I always say no to boring and beige; it just feels blah and soulless for me. The only exception would be in a bedroom! I love a calm and peaceful bedroom decor. Of course, I sprinkle some color in the accessories, which are easy to switch up for a seasonal change. Surprisingly, my top choice for an adult bedroom would be the coziest rugs I’ve ever stepped on; you guessed it, the classic Beni Ourain.

Made of 100% wool, these thick Moroccan rugs are an absolute dream for your feet. It feels like walking on a cloud, not even exaggerating! There’s something about their fluffy texture in the bedroom; it makes the entire room appear cozy, soft, and so comfy!

The classic Beni Ourain rugs have black lines creating diamonds. They have been loved by designers for decades, and they are still the go-to designer’s choice. I’m also a fan of the polka dots Beni Ourain rugs, which give them a more feminine edge. The cool thing about Beni Ourain rugs is that they will never go out of style, and they fit with all sorts of different decor styles and furniture colours.

Practical Tips: Do You Need a Rug Pad for Your Beni Ourain Moroccan Rugs?

A question I often receive is, do I need a rug pad under my Beni Ourain rug? And my personal answer is no. Our rugs are so thick and heavy that they really do not require a rug pad.

I know that a white rug might feel risky! And when clients ask me about it, I always give them a 100% honest response: A white rug is a white rug; it’s perfect for low-traffic areas such as bedrooms! A grown-up living room would also be appropriate. But if you have 2 young boys like I do, or furry friends (it will be their fave lounge spot, don’t fool yourself), a colorful rug would be easier to maintain.

I have a mostly white rug in my bedroom, and although my kids go in my bedroom sometimes, it’s not a high-traffic area, so it works well. I would never trade that fluffy coziness; Beni Ourain rugs are super dreamy! My secret weapon to keep it fresh is a dollar store BBQ handbrush! I will link to the video showing the brush right here. It’s a brush with metal hair, and it’s fantastic to remove small fibers and debris that can get stuck in the wool.

My quick wool rug refresh that will keep your rug looking like new:
Step 1: Shake off your rug outside.
Step 2: Brush your rug with a small BBQ metal brush. Yes, some wool will stay in the brush, but that’s fine; don’t worry, it will not damage your rug.
Step 3: Vacuum your rug.
