A sneak peak of some beautiful Vintage Kilim Boucherouite arriving this month to add to our collection…..
These colourful flatweaves are woven from pieces of recycled textiles, are light and durable, and perfect for throwing down on a wooden or stone floor to add warmth, texture and colour. Above is a lovely kilim abstractly decorated with tribal motifs including eight-pointed ‘Solomon’s star’ (female fertility) symbols.
Although you may find many similar kilims, no two are exactly alike. In contrast to the kilim in the first photo, the one above has an orderly vertical zig zag design with contrasting horizontal weaving at each end, and below a traditional lozenge design. Easy to clean, they are perfect for kitchens, bathrooms and children’s rooms. All three arriving later this month….we will keep you posted!
Buying a statement piece rug will instantly change the look and feel of a room, as this will become a focal point to draw the eye. During the Winter I’ve loved sinking my feet into my thick, soft Beni Ouarain rug next to the sofa, but Spring ushers in the idea of adding something perhaps more simple, adding colour and interest. You may want to think about changing for a shorter pile rug with splashes of colour such as a quirky Vintage Ourika Valley rug, a flat weave Vintage Kilim, or a Boucherouite with a riot of colour. Check out our online collection, but if you don’t see something you like, please get in touch. We have a huge range of rugs available to us in Marrakech. We would love to hear from you!
