A rug, or carpet, isn’t just an accessory to a room, it can be the key element that brings the other elements of a space together with balance and harmony. It can mellow or sharpen the tone of a room, help with noise reduction and even provide warmth.
There are many types of rugs on the market, but generally speaking a rug is something that’s woven to cover a floor. Rugs can be tufted, knotted, braided or flat woven. A tufted rug is made when yarns are pushed up through the backing to create a raised pile. A braided rug is woven with lengths of yarn or natural fibers that are twisted and sewn to each other. Knotted rugs are woven on a loom, either by hand or machine. Flat woven rugs are called kilims or dhurries and are typically made of cotton or wool.
A rug can also be a large, patterned piece of fabric that can show off elaborate workmanship and intricate designs. And finally, a rug can be a simple way to add color or texture to a room. Adding a rug to a room can make it feel warmer and can help to protect the floor from damage, stains, or wear. A rug can also be a good place for people to sit and eat, especially in dining areas. It’s important to remember that a rug should not be an obstruction to the traffic flow of a room.
