Berber rugs, a symbol of timeless elegance and rich cultural heritage, originated from the Berber tribes of North Africa, particularly Morocco.
These rugs have been handcrafted for centuries using traditional methods passed down through generations. Known around the world for their distinctive patterns, natural materials, and durability, Berber rugs have become a beloved choice for homeowners seeking a stylish yet comfortable addition to their space.
Today, Berber rugs come in a variety of styles, colours, and designs, making them versatile additions to many interior design styles. While they are traditionally hand-knotted from high quality wool, modern manufacturing techniques have now made it possible to produce more affordable machine-made Berber style rugs. They provide the same look of a traditional Berber rug but at a fraction of the cost, making them more accessible to a wider clientele.
In this blog, we highlight our top 10 Berber style rugs, showcasing the best in craftsmanship and design.
