Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Dotted Moroccan Rugs

Q: What is the difference between a Dotted Moroccan Rug and a traditional Beni Ourain?

A: The key difference lies in the pattern. Traditional Beni Ourain rugs typically feature large, distinct geometric patterns like lines and diamonds (often representing protection or fertility). Dotted Moroccan Rugs are a contemporary style woven by the same Berber tribes, using the same plush, hand-knotted wool, but featuring a pattern of small, scattered dots. This dots pattern provides a more minimalist and modern aesthetic while retaining the authentic texture and quality of the classic Beni Ourain.

Q: Are these polka dot rugs truly handmade?

A: Yes, all authentic Dotted Moroccan Rugs in our collection are 100% hand-knotted by skilled Berber women in Morocco’s Atlas Mountain regions. We partner directly with artisans to ensure fair trade and the preservation of these traditional weaving techniques. Be mindful of machine-made or “Moroccan style” rugs, which lack the unique character, exceptional softness, and thick, durable pile of a true handwoven piece.

Q: How do I care for my natural wool dotted rug?

A: Taking care of your rug is easy!

  • Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly on a low-suction setting without a beater bar. This maintains the plush pile.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Use a little mild soap and water only if necessary, and then blot completely dry. Never rub.
  • Deep Cleaning: Wool is naturally stain-resistant, but we recommend professional cleaning every 3-5 years.

Q: What sizes and colors are available, and do you offer customization?

A: Our Dotted Moroccan Rugs come in a variety of standard sizes, from runners to large area rugs. The classic color is ivory or cream with black or brown dots.

We proudly offer full customization for your rug. If you need a non-standard custom size, want to adjust the dot design, or prefer specific custom colors using natural, vegetable-based dyes, we can create a bespoke piece perfectly tailored to your space and style.
