November 30, 2017
A rug can be one of the most important elements of a room; they soften sounds, provide comfort, and enhance interior designs. When you look at area rug choices, you may wonder which one best fits your style.
Should you choose one that’s traditional or contemporary? Will a Navajo, Persian, or Tibetan rug go best with your décor? Here are some of the most popular rug types explained.
Traditional Rugs
This type of rug features flowers and vines, medallions, and ornate borders. The very first ones came from Persia and lend an elegant, classic look wherever they’re used. Use them to separate formal seating and dining areas.
Vintage Rugs
Vintage rugs are extremely trendy whether you are designing a traditional space or a laid-back family room. They are available in patterns like those found on traditional rugs, but have the worn and faded look of an antique.
Natural-Fiber Rugs
These rugs are made from materials such as sea grass or jute. They’re durable and have complex woven textures that add visual interest. Choose them when you want to create a casual feel.
Moroccan Rugs
These fluffy, shaggy rugs have thick fibers that kept Moroccan mountain dwellers warm during the coldest months. Their softness adds a luxurious feel to bedrooms and looks inviting next to the fireplace.
Tibetan Rugs
Traditionally, Tibetan rugs come from highland sheep’s wool. They use a knotting method that is different from any other wool weaving. They come in many different types of designs that range from floral prints to tiger stripes.
Navajo Rugs
These rugs are textiles often woven by the Navajo people of the four corners. They feature bright colors including red, green, yellow, and black woven into angular patterns.
Contemporary Rugs
Contemporary rugs come in popular patterns like chevron or trellis. They are less formal than traditional rugs and are often easy-maintenance for busy families.
