A rug can do so much – it adds warmth, anchors furniture and layers the room’s decor. It can also change the tone of a space, create a theme and be re-positioned or even changed out on a whim!
A lot of homes don’t come with carpeted floors, which means that most people consider rugs to be the first floor covering they buy for their home. It’s easy to see why – they are beautiful and versatile. Rugs can instantly transform the feel of a room and they are practical too, providing a soft surface underfoot, and absorbing a portion of the impact of footfall, which helps to reduce noise levels in a room.
They are also a bit warmer than hard-surface flooring, and can provide a welcome layer of insulation in rooms with tile or hardwood floors, especially if a pad is added under the rug. They can also help to stabilize temperature and humidity by regulating the flow of air.
There are many different rug types, including hand-knotted, hand-tufted and loomed. The type of fibre used is usually either wool or cotton. Wool can be carded and spun manually or machine-spun, giving a range of textures, colours and sizes of yarn.
Hand-knotted rugs are made by entangling threads of fibre with the warp and weft of a rug to form the textile or structure. The type of knotting technique determines the quality of a rug. There are three main kinds of knotting techniques, based on region: Turkish, Persian and Tibetan knots.
