Rugs add a warm, comfortable and welcoming feel to any space. They also provide a range of practical benefits, such as insulating a room and absorbing sound. Especially in today’s modern houses, most of which don’t come carpeted, rugs are a great way to freshen up your interior design and create a cosy, intimate space.
According to the philosophy of feng shui, soft surfaces like rugs slow down and lower energy flow through living spaces, creating a more relaxed and healthy environment. They are also often considered the best option for those who are renting a home and want to personalise their space but are not allowed to paint the walls or hang more art.
Unlike traditional carpeting, rugs can be easily cleaned by regular vacuuming and occasional beating to remove dust and dirt. They are also very durable and can last a long time, depending on the quality of the materials used and how they are made.
The process of making a rug is incredibly labor intensive and takes several weeks to months to produce an exceptional piece. However, the resulting work of art is well worth the effort. Rugs are made with a wide range of fibers including wool, cotton and silk. In addition, a variety of dyes are used to color the fabric.
