This beautiful rug from Afghanistan, with its subtle geometric shapes, is a modern one that was inspired by ancient traditions. The primitive motifs reflect the traditions of the Moroccan Berber area rugs that people know and love. Moroccan rugs have inspired interior designers for decades. They add contrast to a space of modern furniture styles with hard lines and simple shapes. The iconic rugs woven in Morocco add an artistic feel that connects us to a primitive people who have lived close to the land for thousands of years. Today, we love decorating our homes with the modern Moroccan area rugs just as much as the trailblazing interior designers of decades past.
