First rug roundup of 2020 — and there are some real stunners here. I’ve been hunting for a small rug for our piano bench and a runner for my hallway, so you’ll see those sizes reflected in my picks. Which one is your favorite? Here we go.
-
Pink and Colorful Vintage Moroccan Rug (above): The pattern changes across the rug in a way that feels very dynamic. It caught my eye immediately for its lively mix of color and texture.
-
Black and Colorful Vintage Boujaad Rug: I might still buy this one — the contrast of bold color with black woven through is such a strong, striking combo. If you love dramatic color, this is worth a look.
-
Pink Leopard Moroccan Rug: This one really does read like leopard print — a mostly single-color rug with lots of depth and interest. It would work beautifully on the floor or as a bold wall hanging.
-
Striped Azilal Runner: I don’t often see Moroccan rugs with clean stripes like this. The color palette is gorgeous and the design feels fresh — perfect for a hallway or narrow space that needs pattern without overwhelming.
-
Vintage Red Boujad Runner: I usually say I’m not a red person, but this tone is irresistible. On a long entry or a large hallway, this would make a dramatic, warm statement.
-
Colorful Vintage Boucherouite Rug: I love the high pile and scattered pops of saturated color. This would be an ideal accent in a room with neutral furniture — an instant, cozy color boost.
-
Pink and Blue Vintage Moroccan Rug: The color blocking on this one is so compelling — periwinkle, bold cobalt and a range of pinks all playing together. It could be a playful choice for a child’s room or bathroom.
Tell me which one you’d pick!
