19 Online Shops for awesome Moroccan & Turkish Rugs

Living room rug by Atlas Weavers! They custom designed it for me but now you can buy this exact one! 😊

 I’m not sure what caused the flip of my internal aesthetic switch lately, but my taste has seemingly gone from all-white minimal to bright and colorful in the past few months. Maybe I should blame it on my navy wall makeover for re-introducing color back into my life, but regardless–I’ve been drooling over Moroccan (I love the fluffy white qualities of the Boucherouite and Beni Ourain rugs with pops of color and minimalistic patterns) and pretty much any type of Turkish (or Turkish inspired) rugs–especially the overdyed and Kilim varieties! 

Stating the obvious here–rugs are certainly are not the most budget-friendly of items, but an investment worth making to not only make your home more stylish, but comfortable too! It’s a key piece in achieving that “collected” feel that so many people strive for (myself included!) While I haven’t pulled the trigger on one rug in particular yet, I’ve found some pretty amazing websites along my shopping journey. 

Some tips: If you’re wanting the real deal, the smaller Etsy shops are definitely the way to go, where owners travel several times per year to stock up on authentic goods. If you’re wanting to stick to the more “budget friendly” route and don’t care about having a real rug that came straight from an overseas market, a larger retailer might be more your speed.

    • Just be carefull because in the big shop most of the time there are not authentic moroccan or Turkish rugs. Just imitation. That’s ok if that’s what you want but just let you know that the quality will be poor.

    • I am opening my own rug shop online. You can check the Instagram page (KASARI studio). The website is coming soon. If you are interested I am having a presale, and I give 20% off for the 5 first buyers. All my rugs are made by moroccan women that I have met.

  5. this is such a great list! i’d like to add: http://www.theanou.com/ i bought a stunning rug from them a few months ago. not only do i love it, but it’s a fully owned and operated (mostly) women’s co-op– they do everything from making the rugs to taking orders, taking photos, setting prices, shipping rugs etc. they receive all the money so not only are you truly supporting the local folks who are making these gorgeous items, i found it to be a bit cheaper than other “authentic” retailers.

  10. Please consider supporting artisans in Morocco as well as Afghanistan and Iraq. Safia Vintage contributes directly to the economic development of some of the most impoverished and conflict-affected communities in North Africa and the Middle East. http://www.safiavintage.com

  22. The genuine Turkish rug will always have a soft backing with a pattern that matches with the top pile just like the same. In case, you find the back not having the same pattern as the front, chances are that this rug is fake.

  23. Turkish and moroccan Rugs are such kind of rugs which can not be bought from any ordinary shop or online store. The list you have given for the stores are really very good. I just also want to mention one other online store for rugs and carpet called Rugs and beyond. If you are looking for one of a kind handmade moroccan Rug then this is the right choice for you, The biggest usp for rugs and beyond is that they provide Free shipping worldwide and their all the products are one of a kind.

  37. Restaurant Kessabine Medina, its name reminds us are beautiful typical location, it is in the center of jamaa el fena, near souk el kessabine. And this mixture can only offer a panoramic view. The Restaurant is a place that reflects the Moroccan tradition of all its aspects, its decoration, its furniture, or its dishes respect the authenticity and the traditional touch of his country and his city.
