This New Pinterest Rug Trend Will Bring Both Color + Texture to Your Home
Need a bit of color to match the repurposed wooden coffee table you just scored? Well, the latest Pinterest rug trend is here to add that perfect pop of style to your home. Boucherouite rugs — or Moroccan rag rugs — are the gorgeous textiles crowding *all* your feeds. These pattern-filled textiles get their name from the Moroccan Arabic words bu sherwit or “a piece torn from pre-used clothing,” and are made by Berber women who weave thousands of scraps of cotton, nylon and even wool to create elaborate, almost patchwork-like floor coverings. This idea of repurposing old cotton t-shirts into something that makes your apartment shine is right up our alley, so we rounded up our fave looks. From living room statement-makers to cozy bedroom floor coverings, these rugs will bring a little more color and a whole lot of style to your space.
