White creates the greatest sense of spatial tranquillity
White is the colour choice that creates the most spacious effect; it is ideal in a smaller room or as a light backdrop against a coloured wall. Dirt shows up more easily on white than on a darker colour.
- Paolo Beni Ouarain rug white: the diamond pattern in white and dark remains clearly visible despite the light background.
- Mia Beni Ouarain rug white: this rug, too, keeps the white background understated, with the same simple diamond pattern.
- Golnaz Beni Ouarain rug white: here, too, the same diamond pattern reinforces the calm, light feel of white.
- Harriet Beni Ouarain rug white: this rug, too, features the understated diamond pattern in the same white colour scheme.
Beige is the most versatile colour
Beige is the colour with the widest range of Berber rugs on this site, with 34 products in stock. Its warm, neutral tone blends naturally with most interior styles and hides light soiling better than white.
- Reza Beni Ouarain rug beige: the beige background with a diamond pattern shows why this colour is so versatile.
- George Beni Ouarain rug beige: this rug, too, reflects the warm, neutral palette that characterises beige within this tradition.
- Hugo Beni Ouarain rug beige: the same diamond pattern demonstrates once again just how versatile beige is within this tradition.
- Malik Beni Ouarain rug beige: this rug, too, reflects the warm, neutral palette that characterises beige within this tradition.
Multicolour calls for a quiet space around it
Multicolor is the boldest colour choice amongst Berber rugs, with 22 products in stock. This colour works best when the rest of the room remains relatively understated, allowing the rug to serve as an eye-catcher.
- Anass Boujaad rug multicolour: the multi-coloured diamond pattern shows just how striking a multicoloured design can look against a plain white or beige background.
- Walid Boujaad rug multicolour: this rug, too, confirms the vibrant character that defines the multicolour scheme in this colour comparison.
- Fatima Boujaad rug multicolour: even within the Boujaad tradition itself, this rug demonstrates just how vibrant a multicoloured design can look.
- Aziz Boujaad rug multicolour: As the fourth Boujaad rug in this selection, this one reinforces the distinctively multicoloured character of the collection.
When do you choose which one?
- Small room or not much natural light: go for white.
- Versatile enough to go with existing furniture: choose beige.
- A quiet room that could do with a splash of colour: go for multicolour.
- If you’re still undecided not about colour but about style or pattern: start with Berber or Beni Ouarain to provide a broader context.
- You’re not yet sure whether you’re looking for a Berber or a Kelim: that broader distinction is explained in Berber or Kilim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dirt shows up more easily on white, which may mean you need to vacuum more often to keep it looking neat. This does not make the rug any more delicate, just more prone to showing dirt.
Beige, because of its neutral, warm tone that complements most interior styles.
The pattern and colour combination determine how busy a multicoloured rug looks. Combine it with a room that is otherwise uncluttered for the best effect.
