Moroccan black doormat: a majestic entrance inspired by the Maghreb
The Moroccan black doormat sets the tone from the very beginning: understated elegance, refined contrast, and patterns inherited from Maghreb geometric art that invite you to travel. This piece isn't just a chic mudguard; it's a true host. It welcomes, it protects, and it tells a story. Its interlacing and diamond shapes, worked in deep black on a light or tone-on-tone relief, structure the space without overloading it. Placed outdoors, it neutralizes sand, dust, and humidity. Inside, it creates a sense of ambiance while keeping the hall clean and welcoming. You gain in cleanliness, style, and comfort of daily use.
Choosing a black Moroccan doormat is easy to see at first glance: the lines evoke zelliges, mashrabiyas, and carved doors, but the interpretation remains contemporary thanks to black, the architect's color par excellence. This contrast highlights light tiles, honey-colored parquet, or gray stone. Above all, it frames the door and provides an instinctive reference point for wiping the soles. A good doormat is also a question of performance: scraping, capturing, holding, then releasing when cleaning. Hence the importance of suitable fibers and a sole that doesn't move, even on a rainy day.
💡 Measure in just 30 seconds
Tape a rectangle of the target size to the floor, open the door to 90° and check two points: 2–3 cm of air at the baseboards for suction, and a profile that does not block either the opening or the threshold. If the door is flush with the floor, stay under 10 mm of thickness.
Character, comfort and efficiency
A high-performance black Moroccan doormat combines three qualities. First, scraping : a firm fiber that grips dirt. Then, absorption : a weave capable of absorbing residual moisture. Finally, stability : a sole that adheres without damaging it, whether the floor is tiled, concrete, or parquet. Black provides a clear reading and better hides traces between cleanings, especially when it is slightly mottled . The geometric pattern acts as a visual reminder: we remember to wipe, almost without thinking about it. The result: a cleaner lobby, preserved floors, and a welcome with character.
Key points to remember
- Elegant contrast : deep black + Moroccan design to energize a light threshold or highlight a dark door.
- Materials to support the gesture : coconut for strong scraping, textured vinyl for express wiping, woven polypropylene for comfort/maintenance balance.
- Safe sole : TPR/non-slip rubber, suitable for sheltered outdoor and indoor entrance.
- Controlled profile : 8–12 mm on the sheltered exterior; 6–8 mm if the door is low.
- Useful size : length at least equal to the shoulder width of an adult, ideally to allow two complete steps .
Effective sizes, materials and placements
| Scenario | Recommended size | Recommended subject | Sole | Effect obtained | Practical advice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheltered exterior door front | 40×70 to 50×80 cm | Dense coconut with Moroccan relief | Ribbed rubber | Powerful scraping, marked style | Dry brush every weekend |
| Tiled interior hall | 50×80 to 60×90 cm | Black/heathered woven vinyl | Non-slip TPR | Quick wipe, express cleaning | Wipe with microfiber daily |
| Apartment with low door | 45×75 cm thin profile | Flat weave polypropylene | Thin TPR | Does not block the opening | Check door clearance before purchase |
| Family entrance for children/pets | 60×90 cm | PP blend + absorbent fibers | Solid rubber | Captures mud + absorbs moisture | Shake out after returns |
| Common landing or airlock | 50×80 cm | Moroccan pattern textured vinyl | Anti-trace TPR | Safety, elegant sobriety | Choose a slightly mottled black |
Materials: what feel and how to maintain them?
Coconut : Firm natural fiber, very effective scraping for sand, earth and dry mud. Shake outdoors, stiff brush in the direction of the hair, air dry if wet. Ideal for sheltered outdoor areas or porches. Woven vinyl : Closed surface, hygienic, wipes clean immediately with a sponge, excellent black retention, perfect for interior entrances. Flat woven polypropylene : Comfort/maintenance compromise, good rendering of Moroccan patterns, easy vacuuming, quick drying. Technical blends : Absorbent loops + raised scrapers, very versatile for active families. The choice depends on your exposure (rain, dust), floor type and door height.
💡 3 Zone Rule
For a flawless entrance: outside sheltered (scrape) with coconut, just after the door (absorb) with vinyl or flat weave, then a decorative rug in the hallway (finish drying) . Three steps, zero traces.
Simple maintenance routine
Shake outside once or twice a week to remove the bulk of the dirt. Vacuum in hard floor mode, without a rotating brush, to avoid pulling the fibers. Grease stains: sprinkle with Sommières earth , leave for 20 minutes, vacuum. Muddy water marks: let dry, brush, then wipe with a damp microfiber cloth. On vinyl, a warm sponge with mild soap is sufficient. Always let it air dry, lying flat. A monthly rotation distributes wear and light.
⛔ Don'ts
- Avoid bleach : it discolors black and weakens the fibers.
- Do not fold a wet doormat: roll it up and let it dry flat, away from a heat source.
- Do not use permanent adhesives under the sole: residue on the floor and deformation over time.
- Do not stick the doormat to the baseboards : leave 2–3 cm for ventilation and easier vacuuming.
- Do not expose yourself to continuous pouring rain : use an awning or bring it in during bad weather.
Combine Moroccan black with your decor
Black loves bold materials: light wood, stone, brushed brass, and ironwork. For a bright entryway, pair a black Moroccan doormat with an ecru wall and a black metal mirror. Need warmth? Add a wooden bench and natural fiber baskets. In an apartment, it also serves as a visual cue in a narrow hallway: placed parallel to the long wall, it lengthens the perspective and brings order to the flow of traffic. Geometric patterns, meanwhile, define the space's identity without ever overwhelming it.

Coconut under canopy for powerful scraping; vinyl if you prefer sponge maintenance and better tolerance to occasional moisture.
A slightly mottled black hides better. A quick shake outside and weekly vacuuming keeps the finish clean.
Yes with a 6–8 mm profile. Test the full opening; if it rubs, reduce the thickness or change the location.
Most don't. Instead, vacuum, brush, and sponge. Check the label to see if a fabric size is labeled washable.
Let it dry, brush in the direction of the fibers, vacuum. Finish with a damp microfiber cloth if necessary.
Rug Size Guide
Select the perfect size for your rug
A well-sized rug transforms a space: it anchors furniture, streamlines circulation, and enhances ambiance. Choosing the right size depends largely on the room, the furniture, and the space required. Use this simple, visual guide to make a confident decision.
It is essential to consider the space where the rug will be placed.
In the living room
- 2-3 seater sofa → 160×230 cm minimum. Ideal: 200×300 cm if the room allows it.
- Aim for at least the front two legs of the sofa on the carpet. Leave 20–30 cm of air space from the walls.
- In a corner configuration, go wide: the rug should extend 15–25 cm beyond the coffee table all around.
In the dining room
- Add ~60cm around the table to pull out the chairs without snagging.
- Table 160×90 → rug ~240×340 ; table Ø120 → rug Ø200 (if round, for information).
- Prefer a flat weave (chairs that slide better).
In the room
- Bed 140/160 → carpet 200×290 (or 160×230 at the foot of the bed).
- Alternative small pieces : two 50×160 runners on each side.
- Visual comfort: 60–70 cm overhang on the bed exit side.
Entrance & hallway
- Measure the net width and leave 5–10 cm of air on each side.
- Practical formats: 45×115 , 40×120 , 50×160 , 80×120 depending on the length.
- Add a non-slip rug pad for safety.

What about round rugs?
Diameter replaces length/width. Choose Ø according to the central unit:
- Bedroom or reading corner : Ø120–Ø160 under an armchair or at the foot of the bed.
- Round table : table Ø120 → ideal rug Ø200 (clearance of ~40 cm all around the chairs).
- Entrance : Ø90–Ø120 for a soft visual welcome, without obstructing the door opening.
How to measure quickly and well
The kraft (or ribbon) template
Cut out a rectangle to the target dimensions (or trace with painter's tape ) and live with it for 24 hours. Check: circulation, alignment with furniture, door/drawer clearances.
Simple rules
- Living room : 20–30 cm of air on the walls, two feet in front of the seats on the carpet.
- Dining room : +60 cm minimum all around the table.
- Bedroom : 60–70 cm overhang on the bed exit side or two 50×160 runners.
Carpet too small (“floating” effect), place a long pile under low doors (friction), forget the non-slip underlay, center it on the room instead of the living area.
This rug size guide helps you quickly select the right size for each room. Need personalized advice? Measure your area, note the width of your key pieces of furniture, and compare with the table above.
Adjust the size to the surface area of the room
Small room (< 12 m²)
Choose a rug that leaves the baseboards free (edge 20–30 cm from the wall) to avoid the “wall-to-wall” effect that visually shrinks. A 120x160 or 140x200 works well, or two 50x160 runners in “Japanese steps” for the bedroom.
Medium room (12–20 m²)
The 160×230 is a versatile standard for living rooms and bedrooms. If you have generous furnishings (corner sofa, sideboard), move up to the 200×300 to maintain balanced proportions.
Large room (> 20 m²)
Aim for a large size (200x300 or 240x340 depending on the collection) to anchor the area . In an open living room, a large rug “reads” the seating and zones things in without partitioning.
Shapes & proportions (rect., square, round, oval)
- Rectangular : the easiest to align with furniture (sofas, beds, rectangular tables). A natural choice if the room is elongated.
- Square : Perfect for a square room or a conversation area with two armchairs and a square coffee table.
- Round : softens very straight architecture, enhances round tables and reading corners.
- Oval : excellent in a wide hallway or dining room with an oval table, as it follows the flow without sharp corners.
Visual tip : Always align one side of the rug with a strong axis (edge of the sofa, edge of the bed, edge of the table). This “vanishing line” immediately calms the composition.
Living room configurations (concrete cases)
Straight sofa + 1 armchair
Objective : Front legs of the sofa + base of the armchair on the carpet. Typical size: 160×230 (compact living room) or 200×300 (standard living room).
Corner sofa (L)
Choose a rug that extends 15–25 cm beyond the coffee table and lean towards 200x300 to avoid the cramped effect under the chaise longue.
Two sofas facing each other
Choose a large size (200x300) so that each seat has at least the front legs on it. A rug that is too small “opens” a gap in the center.
Open space & zoning
In an open space, the rug serves as a functional signal : a large 240x340 rug under the living room, a 200x300 rug under the table, and an 80x240 runner to guide traffic. Keep at least 15 cm between the edge of the rug and the main passageway.
Round, rectangular or extendable table?
| Table shape | Table dimensions | Recommended carpet | Clearance around |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rectangular | 140×80 | 200×290 | ~60 cm for chairs |
| Rectangular | 160×90 | 240×340 | ~60 cm |
| Rectangular | 180×90 | 240×340 (or 250×350) | ~60 cm |
| Round | Ø100 | Ø180 | ~40–50 cm |
| Round | Ø120 | Ø200 | ~40–60 cm |
| Stretchable | 160→200 | 240×340 | ~60 cm (open position) |
Measure the open position of extendable tables and size your rug accordingly.
Bedroom: bed, bench and runners
- Rug under bed bench : add 20–30 cm on each side of the bench to avoid the “sitting on the edge” impression.
- Two runners : 50×160 or 60×180, placed ~10 cm from the bed, aligned at the bedside.
- Small bedroom : prefer at the foot of the bed (160×230) rather than “full under the bed”, to keep breathing space on the sides.
Corridors & Stairs
Measure the finished width, deduct 5–10 cm from each side. For the length, leave 10–15 cm free before the threshold and door. Use a non-slip underlay : essential in high-traffic areas.
Thickness, doors & maintenance
- Low doors : Beware of long-pile rugs (risk of friction). A flat weave is safer near openings.
- Maintenance : the larger the rug, the more crumbs and dust it will “eat” — plan to vacuum regularly (brush OFF on loop pile).
- Carpet underlay : improves stability, comfort and longevity (less wear from sliding).
Quick FAQ
How to convert cm ↔ inches? 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Divide cm by 2.54 to get inches (e.g. 200 cm ≈ 78.74 in).
My living room feels empty despite a large sofa. What should I do? Go from 160x230 to 200x300 or add a perpendicular runner to close off the area.
A square rug in a rectangular living room? Yes, if you create a separate reading corner (armchair + floor lamp + square coffee table).
Round table on a rectangular rug? Possible, but demanding: keep at least 30–40 cm of air space on each side of the rectangle for a balanced effect.
Can you layer two rugs? Yes, to “zone” a space. Large neutral base + smaller pattern on top (10–20 cm overlap).

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked. If you cannot find what you are looking for, do not hesitate to contact us.
How do I choose the size of my rug?
The size of your rug depends on the room and the layout of your furniture. For a living room, for example, a large rug under which all the furniture fits gives a feeling of space. A smaller rug can define a space, such as a conversation area.
Do the photos online reflect the actual color of the rug?
We do our best to make colors as accurate as possible. However, shades may vary depending on screens and brightness settings.
How do I maintain my carpet?
Maintenance depends on the carpet material . Generally, a vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush used regularly and occasional professional cleaning are recommended.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship to many countries around the world. Shipping costs and times may vary depending on destination.
What is the return policy?
You have 14 days after receipt to return your rug if it does not suit you. Make sure it is in its original condition and see our "Return Policy" page for more details.
Are the rugs pet resistant?
Our rugs are durable, but their resistance to animals depends on the material. Some rugs are more suitable for homes with pets. See product description for more information.
