Mergoum vs Kilim: What's the Difference?

Many people confuse the mergoum with the kilim. Both are flat-woven textiles made without a pile, but they differ in name, region and pattern style. The mergoum is known in North Africa for bold geometric motifs and rich color.

How to choose between them

Decide where it will go, since flat weaves suit entries, walls and light-traffic rooms. Match the colors to your furniture, ask about fiber and cleaning, and choose a piece with an honest craft story that adds warmth and identity to your home. Both make stunning, durable pieces, and either one can become the center of a room's design. Take your time.
