Who has never thought of putting all their old furniture in the closet? Donate it to an association or even to an antique dealer? You think that your old furniture has had its day and prefer to relegate it to the background. Replacing your entire furniture with newer ones is not necessarily the solution. Before getting to that point, have you thought about the Berber carpet?
Moroccan rugs have many advantages, the one to give a room some pep and freshness is only one of many. Enhancing the value of your inherited furniture is not an easy task. There are many codes in interior design and playing on contrasts is one of them.
Use the exoticism of Moroccan rugs to soften the effect of antique furniture: that's the idea we suggest. How to do it you will tell us? There is nothing simpler, only a few characteristics to know about the Berber carpets in order to better associate them with your furniture of the last century.
We will tell you all about the possible combinations of Moroccan rugs and antique furniture depending on the desired effect to maintain a vintage-chic style. At the end of this article you will have made the choice to keep your old furniture and will already know what kind of Berber carpet to get to go with it.
Here are our little tips to bring your interior made of old furniture up to date with just a carpet:
Some of the artisans who weave Berber rugs use a touch of bright color to add a special touch to the designs they will weave. If you have a classic or mid-century decor in your home, but want to make it unique instead of a mass-produced imitation, choose a Berber rug with bright colors and bold patterns!
This is a more than wise choice. Especially if you want to add a sparkling touch next to your antique furniture to balance out a room with neutral tones. The Berber carpet offers you a soft texture and pleasant to the touch, comfortable! Be sure to choose a rug in a warm, neutral shade to keep a clean, rustic color scheme.
The old furniture is often sober and too classic. A simple Moroccan carpet can shake all that up. Whatever style of Berber carpetyou choose, you can be sure that it will bring an ethnic touch to your home! But if you just want to amplify your room with vibrations from around the world, you should consider investing in a rug with natural tones. Shades of green, yellow, orange and beige are a great base for a room that wants to be rooted in Moroccan style and culture.
Did you know that many Berber rugs are considered minimalist in terms of design? While the color swatches mentioned above add a touch of pizzazz to most rooms, some are more subdued than others.
In a room that may already have all the colors and patterns it needs, try a Berber rug featuring a repeating pattern of diamonds or other simple lines, or even opt for a plain rug with no pattern to create a soothing and comfortable atmosphere.
By definition, many Berber rugs are considered minimalist in design. While the bright color swatches that sometimes adorn contemporary-style Moroccan rugs such as saffron yellow, ocean blue, purple red or lilac purple add a touch of vibrancy to most rooms, some remain more subdued than others.
In a room that already has many colors and eye-catching patterns and objects, try complementing your space with a sober, contemporary Berber rug featuring repeating patterns like diamonds or other simple lines. Don't hesitate to even opt for a plain carpet without a pattern to create a soothing yet comfortable atmosphere.
The simplicity of a contemporary Moroccan rug does not detract from its elegance and character. One could say that the contemporary Morrocco rug doesn't need to shine to stand out from the crowd. It is neither flashy nor overdone, the Berber carpet with contemporary style is appreciated for its sobriety. Minimalist but not banal, simple but far from unnoticed!
Add a classic pattern, a geometric shape, a detail on a pile tinted with unbleached white and that's it: you'll have a work of art on the floor of your living room that will blend perfectly with your art-deco sofa or your Gatsby-type sofa. The cubist or art nouveau paintings that proudly hang on your walls will be in for a treat with your new contemporary Moroccan rug, as they will no longer be the sole focus of attention when people come into your living room.
Painting, drawing, creating are often words that we leave to the artists but that we often associate with childhood because it is the period when our imagination develops.
Berber carpets are so original and unique in their appearance, texture, size, shape, colors and patterns... When a newborn or a child is surrounded by such objects, it undeniably stimulates his senses and contributes to forge his artistic sense. A simple wool carpet can thrill your child's senses every time he enters his room.
Moroccan rugs come in different shades of color such as ivory, beige, saffron yellow, sky blue, earth red or light brown often with black accented patterns.
The bright colors, the ethnic patterns, the soft touch and the unusual shapes of the Moroccan rugs will stimulate your child's imagination to leave more room for his creativity.
Whatever style of Berber rug you choose, you can be sure that it will bring an ethnic touch to your home! But if your goal is to amp up your room with exotic vibes while maintaining an elegant touch, you should consider investing in a vintage Moroccan rug.
Shades of green, yellow, orange and beige make a great base for a room rooted in vintage style. Berber rugs are traditional and have character. A vintage carpet can complement a decoration made of antique furniture and objects. It will match the old three-piece sideboard that families give each other from generation to generation. A vintage rug will enhance an old lacquered wooden table or a velvet or leather armchair.
Of course, if your decorating idea is something sober, smooth, and uncluttered; a vintage Moroccan rug will enhance the tone of your room. A carpet is an element that we notice when we enter a space but a vintage Berber carpet is not only noticed, it also makes people talk!
The geometric symbols or not that adorn each traditional Berber carpet represent a story, symbolizes the daily life and beliefs of the tribes of the Atlas Mountains. The colors used are both warm and classic. Ochre tones dominate the visual aspect of traditional carpets, ranging from dark brown, to light brown, through orange, beige and purple.
The traditional carpets before being qualified as vintage were and still are the style of carpets found in the great riads and palaces of the Orient. This is where Berber carpets get their characteristic chic and still represent luxury and abundance in the collective imagination.
