BUYING GUIDE FROM EXPERTS

How do I pick the best rug? Here are all of our suggestions to guide you step by step. The materials and technique used to weave the rug are perhaps the most important factors in determining the quality of a rug. This guide will teach you everything you need to know about rugs, including constructions, fabrics, and scale.

CONSTRUCTIONS

he construction of a rug is what makes all the difference. The design of your rug, whether it’s hand-knotted, hand-tufted, handloom or braided will determine the look, texture, quality, and durability of your rug. Despite new technologies, weavers have used the same construction methods for centuries. When selecting a rug, there are a few traditional rug constructions to bear in mind.

MATERIALS

The materials used also influence how a rug looks, feels, and performs. The materials we use are derived from nature, such as wool, cotton, and jute, or from recycled plastics, such as PET yarn.

SIZE

Make sure you take accurate measurements of your room before you buy a rug. Use a tape measure twice to be secure and don’t guess the size because it’s easy to make mistakes. You want your rug to stand out as well as blend in with the rest of the room.
