Azilal rugs with their plush pile and sturdy weave make them an ideal statement rug for nearly any room. The Berber women in the Atlas Mountains, for the most part, weave the rugs. They incorporate design elements from their personal experience into the rugs designs. The symbols are usually references to events and aspects of their daily life such as beliefs, birth, fertility, nature, femininity, life and spirituality. Some believed that the rugs could even ward off evil spirits so naturally, they incorporated designs such as diamonds and lucky charms to ward off the evil spirits and bring luck, prosperity and protection. In Berber culture, the color blue symbolizes wisdom and green stands for peace. The color orange is associated with warmth, health and happiness. Notice the wave-like pattern on the vertical borders. In Berber culture this is referencing a cosmic projection. These wave like arrows are also associated with lightning and representing male energy and fertility. With its diamond pattern and secondary protection symbols, this Azilal rug from Morocco is all the inspiration you need to plan a bohemian chic makeover or perfectly tie together eclectic home decor.
