BENEFITS AND TIPS WITH SMALL ROOMS
Small rooms? Use rugs to create the illusion of space.
Contact Us, we have all styles, types to suit your needs.
​

Use rugs to divide large rooms: having two to three small rugs in a room, helps create direction and breaks up open plan interiors. 
Use rugs to create the illusion of multiple spaces, adding depth to even the smallest of rooms.

Use light colored rugs: dark rugs can make a room feel smaller, so lightly colored rugs can add a feeling of space and air, and can instantly lift a dark colored flooring.
 
Stick to small prints or plain color: by using plain tones that compliment the colors of your sofas, bed linen or other soft furnishings you can create a feel of continuity, which in turn creates the illusion of space. If you want to use a patterned rug, then we recommend you chose a small repetitive design in discreet colors to add depth.

Add space around the rug: A rug that fits from wall to wall may seem like a comfortable and cozy option for your feet, but it won’t add any space to your room. By keeping a good size gap between the edges of the rugs and the walls, you automatically create a feeling of extra floor space.
 
Keep it soft, but simple: Whilst a big, soft, deep pile rug may seem like a treat for chilly toes, it can be too much for a small room. To keep your room looking spacious, stick to flatter rugs.

Modern Rugs come in almost all the above aspects.

​The Pantone Color Institute recently announced its 2019 "Color of the Year," called Living Coral (16-1546).

​

Since 2000, the Institute has chosen a "Color of the Year." Experts look at trends in all facets of daily life, such as the entertainment industry, emerging artists, fashion, technology and more, to decide on the winner for the upcoming year.
What does this mean for you, though? Typically this color is utilized by brands, designers and other consumer-focused companies in their latest batch of products. Remember when everyone was head over heels for "millennial pink"? Well, you can thank Pantone's 2016 Color of The Year, Rose Quartz, for that.

A Guide to Hand-knotted wool rugs

A GUIDE TO HAND-KNOTTED WOOL RUGS
Consumers who are looking for a finely crafted floor covering may want to consider buying a handknotted wool rug for their home. They are a superior product that will add warmth and texture to any room where they are placed. Buyers who choose them are getting a rug that will look good for several years and will improve in appearance over time.

Characteristics of hand-knotted wool rugs
Hand-knotted rugs were the norm until the introduction of machinery that could take over this function. The advantage to using machines to make wool rugs is that the process can be completed more quickly and at less cost than if each weave has to be knotted and tied by someone.
​
In a factory, looms are used to make rugs and the threads can be held together by glue or an acrylic. The consumer who is interested in buying a hand-knotted wool rug is getting a product that will be more durable than its machine made counterpart. The trade-off is that making a hand-knotted rug is very labour-intensive, and may cost more than a similar-sized, factory-made floor covering.

Buyers who are interested in owning a unique piece of art that they can place on their floor may want to consider hand-knotted rugs. Each one reflects the skill of the person who made it, and each individual rug will be unique as well. The rug may well include mistakes, which only add to its charm. A machine made rug will have a standard appearance and factories can produce multiple versions of the same pattern, whereas a hand-knotted rug is a one-of-a-kind item.

Durability of hand-knotted wool rugs
Hand-knotted wool rugs are made from highly durable, natural fibre. As the rug ages, its surface will take on a shiny appearance, which is considered very attractive. This characteristic is one that will actually increase the value of a hand-knotted rug. In contrast, the factory-made rug will deteriorate over time.

Deciding to buy a hand-knotted wool rug
A consumer who is interested in buying a hand-knotted wool rug will want to consider the decision very carefully. Even in a case where the initial cost is higher than buying a factory-made floor covering, the hand-knotted rugs may actually be a better long-term investment. The factory-made rug will need to be replaced much sooner than a hand-knotted one, which means that it may be the more expensive choice.
​
A hand-knotted wool rug also has the advantage of being easier to care for and repair than a machine-made one. Hand-knotted rugs can be cleaned from back to front and then put out to dry. Machine-made rugs also collect dirt on the bottom, and they can be very difficult to clean because of waterproof chemicals used on them.

Hand-knotted wool rugs offer a number of advantages to consumers. Buyers who are looking for natural fibers for their home that are easy to clean and maintain would do well to consider this option.

Deciding the correct size of the Rug

DECIDING THE CORRECT SIZE OF THE RUG
Decide the correct size of the Rug you will require for the room.
For the most part there is no damage in having the front legs of a seat or couch on the rug and the back legs off. (Furniture can definitely be fully on the rug too, and squared up)

​You in all likelihood will need to take into consideration a bit of hardwood floor or of covering (or tile or whatever your floor is made of) to appear on all sides of the rug. Along these lines, for example, if the space in which you might want a rug is 12 feet by 16 feet, you may choose a rug that is 9 by 12 feet, therefore considering one and a half or two feet of floor around the rug.
In any case, don’t be too rigid about the size you require. Many people make the process of finding a rug almost impossible by hitting on an exact size and insisting on it. If you can, come up with a range of sizes that are possible. You will vastly increase the number of rugs from which to choose. Consider, for instance, that ordinarily there is no harm in having the front legs of a chair on a carpet and the rear legs off. Being flexible about size may mean the difference between winding up with a carpet that “works,” and one that you really love.

The classic Oriental rug sizes are:
  • 3 ft x 5 ft
  • 4 ft x 6 ft
  • 5 ft x 7 or 8 ft
  • 6 ft x 9 ft
  • 8 ft x 10 ft
  • 9 ft x 12 ft
  • 10 ft x 14 ft
  • 12 ft x 15 ft
  • 12 ft x 18 ft​
European size are way off, and now most rugs come a few inches less or more, most of the times smaller than the chart above.

Persian rugs do not follow the above standard, but sizes are pretty much close.
