A rug is the anchor for your seating arrangement (and in a bedroom, it’s for the main furniture grouping – bed & nightstands normally). It pulls the room together and visually connects all of the smaller elements that would otherwise be floating around the space. It’s the perfect surface to bring your design sensibility to life, so don’t be afraid to turn it to see what works best in your space.
A rug has a long history. It developed in Central and Western Asia as coverings for beaten-earth floors, and was used in the tents of nomadic peoples and in the palaces of the wealthy. It also served as tribute money, blankets and canopies, a cover for the tomb of Al-Musta’sim and even dramatically enhanced Cleopatra’s introduction to Julius Caesar.
The rugs were woven of wool, silk or goat hair. Traditionally, the women sheared and cleaned the wool from sheep before men carded the fibers and spun them into yarn. Today, a rug can be made of cotton or jute or synthetics like nylon and acrylic. The latter is usually less expensive but has problems — it can fuzz or “pill” and doesn’t have the feel and colorfastness of natural fibers.
The center of a rug is the field, and it can contain a solid color area, a medallion design, an allover pattern or panels. There may also be a guard border, or set of narrow borders that frame the field and add visual interest to the carpet. The field can incorporate a wide variety of motifs and designs, including geometric shapes, vines, floral patterns, small symbols or simple stripes.
