Stunning Dark Blue Modern Moroccan Style Afghan Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Afghanistan, Circa Date: Modern – Nothing transforms the room like finding the perfect rug. The shaggy look of vintage Moroccan rugs has remained popular over many decades. In the mid-1950s, these rugs from Morocco created a cozy feeling in, otherwise, streamlined interiors. The soft texture and long pile of these vintage rugs inspired this contemporary artist to create a piece that reflects the luxurious feel of the vintage Moroccan Berber rugs, but in a way that brings them a fresh and up-to-date look, making them perfect for many contemporary styles.

The colors of this Moroccan Beni Ourain design rug have a natural feel that is reminiscent of stone, earth, and water. Walking in nature reduces stress and creates a relaxed feeling. Designers now use nature-inspired colors to evoke the same feelings in our interior spaces. The earthy colors of this rug are perfect for eco-chic, minimalist, and Nordic-style rooms.

Another popular style that is on the rise uses the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi. This style depends on bringing rustic pieces together in a way that creates a feeling of warmth and serenity. This modern area rug would be the perfect piece for wabi-sabi style or any other interior space that is casual and soothing.

In a room with mid century modern furniture, this modern Moroccan rug would help to soften the lines and create a space that is both modern and restful. This is a longer runner rug that would be perfect for a long, narrow kitchen, a hallway, or to connect two spaces in open-plan architecture. It is a versatile piece that will bring different elements of design together to create a space that is can be either sophisticated and modern or a relaxing, nature-inspired sanctuary. It is all up to you and how you choose to accessorize it.
