Choosing a rug is not only a matter of taste, but also of lifestyle. If you are hesitating between a wool rug or a silk rug , this article will guide you to make the right choice, according to your needs, your habits and the atmosphere you want to create in your home.

🐑 The wool rug: natural, durable and warm

✅ Ideal for:

• Families with children or pets
• Passage rooms (living room, entrance)

• A warm and cozy decoration

🎯 Its advantages:

• Resistant and durable: wool is naturally elastic, it regains its shape even after intense use.
• Easy to maintain: it retains little dust and is stain resistant.

• Thermal and sound insulation: it keeps the heat in in winter and absorbs sounds.

Natural material : biodegradable, renewable and breathable.

🕊 The silk rug: refined, luminous and delicate

✅ Ideal for:

• Minimalist or high-end interiors

• Rooms that are rarely used (bedroom, office)

• Lovers of discreet luxury and careful details

🎯 Its advantages:

• Luminous: Silk reflects light and gives a very elegant shiny effect.

• Fine detail: the patterns are often more precise, perfect for high-end oriental rugs.

• Light but precious: perfect for enhancing a room without weighing it down.

⚠ Please note:

More fragile than wool: sensitive to humidity and frequent passages.

Delicate maintenance: professional cleaning is recommended.
