How to Choose the Ideal Handmade Rug for the Space

Handmade rugs are works of art that give any space character, warmth, and texture. They are more than just floor coverings. Choosing the ideal handmade rug requires careful thought, regardless of your preferences for a rustic tribal piece, a modern abstract design, or a traditional Persian rug. Beautiful handcrafted rugs that enhance spaces with classic craftsmanship are our specialty at EWC (East West Connections).

We'll go over the important things to think about in this guide when selecting the ideal handmade rug for your room.

1. Pick the Proper Size

Make sure the rug fits your room before you fall in love with a design. Here's a brief reference:

Make sure the rug in your living room is big enough to support your furniture. All of the front legs of chairs and couches should ideally rest on the rug.

Dining Room: To make room for chairs, the rug should extend at least 24 inches beyond the table on all sides.
Bedroom: For a well-balanced appearance, a rug should be 18 to 24 inches long around the bed.
Hallway/Entrance: Select a small rug or runner that blends in with the room's flow.

2. Select the Proper Substance

Handmade rugs are made from a variety of materials, each with special qualities:

Wool: Perfect for high-traffic areas because it is soft, long-lasting, and naturally stain-resistant.

Silk: opulent and exquisitely crafted, ideal for bedrooms and other low-traffic areas. 

3. Pick a Look That Goes Well with Your Interior Design

Your rug should blend in with the rest of your interior design. Take a look at these popular styles:

Traditional (Persian, Oriental): Rich colors and intricate designs that go well with traditional interior design.

Abstract/Modern: Vibrant geometric patterns and subdued hues for modern settings.

Tribal/Kilim: Earthy hues and geometric patterns for a diverse, international style.

Vintage/distressed: Gives farmhouse or shabby chic décor personality and a worn-in vibe.

4. Take Note of Pattern and Color

Neutral Tones: Rugs in beige, gray, and ivory provide a soothing background.

Bold Colors: Jewel tones, deep reds, and blues create a striking effect.

Patterns: While small patterns look good in confined areas, large patterns can serve as a room's anchor.

5. Take Durability and Maintenance into Account

Choose wear-resistant wool for high-traffic areas.

Low-Traffic Areas: Formal rooms and bedrooms can be furnished with delicate silk or antique rugs.

Cleaning: Refer to the care instructions; some rugs need to be cleaned by a professional.

6. Genuineness & Artistry

Genuine handmade rugs made by talented artisans are what we source at EWC. Seek out:

Rugs that are hand-knotted are more valuable and long-lasting than those that are hand-tufted.

Natural Dyes: For enduring color, premium rugs employ mineral or vegetable dyes.

Last Words on Rug Selection

✔ Always view the rug in person; if you're shopping online, ask for high-resolution photos and videos.

✔ To prolong the life of the rug and stop slipping, use a rug pad.

✔ In eclectic or bohemian settings, layer rugs to add depth and texture.
