A rug is a woven fabric that covers part of a floor to help absorb sound and make it more comfortable for walking and sitting. Rugs can be made from natural or synthetic materials and come in a variety of styles, construction methods, color palettes and pile height. A rug can also be a decorative element in a room or can be used to create a focal point.
Rug size is important in determining the visual harmony of a space. A rug that is too large can overwhelm furniture and distract from the overall design aesthetic of a room. On the other hand, a rug that is too small may get lost amongst the furniture and fail to make a significant impact in the space.
Carpets can be fabricated in a variety of ways, including weaving that doesn’t use knots. These rugs are typically referred to as tufted or loomed. The tufting process involves pushing surface yarns through a primary backing that is then laminated to a secondary backing. The tighter the twist of a rug’s yarn, the stronger the fiber and more defined the design.
During the interviews, participants were asked to represent their life experiences on a rug by coloring it with pencils and a colour palette. They were able to choose the colours that represented their thoughts and perceptions. The resulting 16 rugs were analysed according to their shape, structure and colour interpretation. The colours chosen by the participants, namely red, blue, yellow and green, were associated with recovery and change and also with something fundamental. These interpretations coincided with Malchiodi’s and Birren’s interpretation of the meanings of colours.
