Rugs can breathe necessary warmth and cosiness into any room. Whether your home is modern and minimalist or old and classic, a rug can soften the most sterile environment.
A rug has the power to tie together a room, whilst injecting a splash of colour into an otherwise bland room. They can also help tone down a cluttered space and best of all, can be used to divide large spaces into cosier areas in loft and open plan living spaces.
Read on to see the different styles of rugs to suit your home style.
Traditional
Traditional rugs feature medallions, flower and vine motifs, and borders in rich colours such as deep reds, rich golds, and classic navy. These rugs originated in Persia and are typically made of wool, cotton, or silk.
Traditional rugs often come with elaborate borders that can help define seating and dining areas. They also have a way of bringing a classic look to a room.
Chevron
Chevron is a hugely popular rug pattern that makes a bold statement. This type of woven chevron rug is a great way to add texture and pattern to a room without overpowering it. I
If you’ve been looking to experiment with prints, patterns and colours, chevron looks great with nearly every pattern.
Woven
Woven rugs provide lots of comfort and they are wonderful for children to play on with their softness. A premium-grade woven rug will be constructed out of cotton, which will make it extremely tough and durable.
The reason may people prefer the woven rug over the other option is because they are handcrafted on a loom. This loop type style is suitable for any room in your home, plus this design is very attractive, but very affordable.
Knotted
If you are looking for a unique style of rug, you should consider a hand-knotted rug. These rugs are unique and more expensive, because they require a lot more effort and time to create.
These types of rugs are created on big looms, which is similar to other fabrics that are woven. These styles of carpets will be embedded with vibrant colours that are weaved together to create intricate patterns and designs.
Runners
Make a bold statement within a room with a runner. These types of rugs are usually long and narrow and make a great feature to a long hallway or landing.
They come in a variety of styles, prints and colours. As well as practical, they will complement your existing decor .
Long pile
This type of rug is usually formed by a covering with a thick plush pile. Soft and snuggly, they look luxurious but depending on the length of the pile, they can be a nightmare to clean. Typically made from wool, leather or acrylic fibres, this style of rug is ideal for bedrooms and living rooms.
Skin
As well as leather, this category includes sheepskin and cowhide. They will usually have distinctive and bright look but due to this, they are not for everyone. However, if you’ve got your heart set on one, look out for ethically made styles, or better yet buy a synthetic or faux fur version.
