All You Need to Know About Rugs
A rug does more than decorate—it brings warmth, texture, and character to a space. The right one enhances not just the aesthetics but also the way you feel in your home. Just as with art or furniture, choosing a rug that complements your space makes a world of difference.
Rug Materials
Rugs come in an array of materials, each offering unique advantages. The goal is to find the one that fits your lifestyle and preferences. Our selection prioritizes quality, sustainability, and craftsmanship.
Wool has long been the go-to material in oriental rug-making, valued for its durability and softness. Wool rugs are long-lasting, comfortable, and easy to maintain. This time-honored material has been trusted for generations and remains a favorite for both function and design.
Rug Construction
How a rug is made determines its texture, longevity, and overall feel. The most common construction techniques include hand-knotting and flatweaving. Hand-knotted and flatweave rugs are among the most durable, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Each knot in a hand-knotted rug is individually tied, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece with exceptional durability. Flatwoven rugs, often reversible, have a sleek profile that works well in a variety of spaces.
Rug Sizing
Selecting the right size rug depends on the room’s layout and purpose. A well-sized rug enhances the overall flow and cohesion of a space.
Start by measuring the area and mapping out placement. A rug size guide or expert consultation can help determine the best fit. If standard sizes don’t work for your space, custom options are available.
Rug Patterns
Patterns play a significant role in defining a room’s ambiance. Geometric motifs, stripes, and color-blocked designs offer a modern touch, while traditional oriental rugs bring timeless sophistication. Neutral options provide versatility, seamlessly blending into any setting with subtle textures and depth.
Rug Placement
There’s no single rule for rug placement—it’s all about balance and personal style. In general, leaving about 30-60cm feet of space between the rug and walls creates a well-proportioned look, and positioning furniture partially on the rug helps unify the room.
As your home evolves, so can your rug choices. A well-placed rug can adapt to new furniture, color schemes, or layouts over time.
Rug Shapes
While rectangular rugs are the most common, other shapes can add variety to a room. Many oriental rugs have elongated proportions due to traditional loom sizes. Circular and square rugs, though less common, introduce a unique design element and work well in spaces that call for a softer look.
Rug Ages
Antique (100+ years old) and vintage (20+ years old) rugs hold a special appeal, reflecting skilled craftsmanship and history. Their enduring quality and artistry make them valuable statement pieces.
