9 Neutral Moroccan Style Area Rugs With Vintage Appeal

I absolutely LOVE Moroccan style area rugs. Their soft textures and geometric patterns work incredibly well in the modern home while also retaining their classic vintage appeal. I think they’re such a great way to update a space without doing much else. Just add a rug and – POOF! – you’ve got instant eye candy in your living room, bedroom, basement or den. Today, I’m sharing my 9 favourite neutral Moroccan style area rugs that will instantly update any space.

For a long while now, I’ve been on the look-out for a large and good quality Moroccan style area rug to replace our current shag in the living room. While the shag has been suitable for our purposes these last eight years (i.e., cheap and cheerful), it’s now time to move it into the basement to make room for something a bit more fresh.

Today, I’m excited to share with you those that have made my short list. They come from three online shops with a lot of stunning pieces to choose from: Viyet, West Elm and Amazon. Each one carries a variety of rugs at various price-points that are sure to appeal to the heart of any home decor enthusiast who loves mixing vintage and modern styles in their home.

For me, nothing beats a moroccan-inspired rug design with a neutral base. There is something both modern as well as classic in this combination that I absolutely adore.

Moroccan rugs have certainly stood the test of time! They represent vintage pieces that have a kind of longevity that transcend many home decor trends. New styles will come and go, but a classic piece like this will never go out of style.

This is so important to me in choosing our next living room rug. And, well, I am taking my time to choose wisely and within our budget. ‘Cause, let’s face it: a rug is a major purchase and can make or break the look and feel of a space.

For that reason, my plan is to replace our current neutral rug (a bit plain and boring) for another neutral rug, but this time, for one with a modern (& Moroccan) twist.

A tall order, you say? Not so!

Not with this lineup of Moroccan beauties that I’m going to share with you. Scroll down and take a look for yourself and tell me what you think of this collection of 9 neutral Moroccan style area rugs that made the cut.

      I agreed, Katie. The neutral base means they can be added anywhere, but the designs on them are what make them a real stand-out. Making a decision for my space is going to be pretty tough!

      So well put, Sam! Yes, chaotic beauty, indeed. I do love the unique patterns of all these rugs, but the Apadana definitely steals the show when it comes to beautiful rug patterns!

    I love the neutral tones and feel of these rugs. They’re beautiful and vintage looking, but some could easily be in a modern home as well. Really attractive pieces, each unique for all the different rooms in my house!

      I always love using neutral rugs because they can be added to any home aesthetic. And there are so many great patterns to choose from, too. I agree with you about how easy it is to incorporate a vintage rug into a modern home. There is so much potential with these beauties 🙂

    I love every single one of these! I am shopping for a new rug now too, as we’re moving into our new place on October 1! So. Many. Decisions. to make!!! There are a ton of reasonably priced options out there which is really exciting. I’m actually putting together a post of my own while I shop! I would love to see what you go with, and obviously a photo tour with the new rug in place 😉 Best wishes!!!! Vivien ♥

      I know, right? So many great options and these rugs are just so gorgeous. I’ve still got a little time before making my decision. We’re waiting for some home renovations to get started, which will mean moving things around…which will also mean getting a new rug for the living room. Yay! When it is in, I’ll definitely be sharing my new piece 🙂 Take care!

    I like how simple the designs are, but at the same time still make a statement all on their own! The rug I have right now is pretty bright so I might move it to a new room. I think these moroccan style rugs would be the perfect fix! Thanks for sharing!

      Yes, I totally agree with you Morgan. They make a great statement on their own, but also blend well within a space. It’s hard to find that balance, but I think these vintage and vintage-inspired beauties can achieve that perfect design blend 🙂
