How to choose the ideal rug for your home?
π§© 1. What size rug should I choose?
The size always depends on the room and the desired effect:
- Living room: Choose a rug large enough to accommodate the legs of your sofa and armchairs. This creates a beautiful unity.
- Bedroom: Place a large rug under the bed, or two small rugs on either side for a cozy touch.
- Entryway or hallway: A long, narrow rug is ideal for guiding the eye and adding warmth as you enter.
π Tip: Always measure your floor space before purchasing!
πΏ 2. Which material should I choose?
Each material has its advantages:
- Wool: warm, durable, natural. Ideal for living rooms or bedrooms.
- Cotton: Lightweight, easy to care for. Perfect for humid or high-traffic rooms.
- Our handcrafted rugs are mainly made of natural fibers or wool, hand-woven in accordance with tradition.
π¨ 3. And the color?
The color depends on your decor, of course, but also on the atmosphere you want to create:
- Light colors: visually enlarge the space.
- Warm tones (red, ochre, brown): for a warm atmosphere.
- Patterned rugs : ideal for adding character to a neutral room.
π Tip: If your walls are heavy or colorful, opt for a simple rug. And vice versa!
π§Ό 4. And what about maintenance?
A beautiful rug is good. A rug that's easy to live with is better.
Our handcrafted rugs are designed to last. Vacuum them regularly, and if stains occur, gently dab with a damp cloth and natural soap. No chemicals required!
π In summary:
Choosing a rug is all about striking a balance between aesthetics, comfort, and practicality. And above all: choose with your heart! A rug is the finishing touch that gives your home soul.
