This beautiful, simple rug is from mid-20th century Morocco, but it could just as easily have been made to suit contemporary decor styles. Moroccan rugs have a primitive style that was popular in mid-20th century design. It served as a contrast to more angular and minimalist furniture and architecture. Mid century modern designers loved them for their ability to bring an organic quality into the room. Now, contemporary designers are turning to mid century Moroccan rugs for the same reason. Moroccan rugs create a cozy space that is serene and balanced.
