Patina Sarouk Runner Red Rug 2x6 Wool-Cotton

• Design Philosophy: Paisley is a classic design featuring a curved, teardrop-shaped motif known as “boteh,” which is believed to represent a combination of a floral spray and a cypress tree—a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity. The swirling, flowing nature of paisley patterns creates a sense of movement and life.
• Story: The paisley pattern has ancient origins in Persia (modern-day Iran) and later gained popularity in the West during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in textiles imported by the British East India Company. The design has since become a timeless motif, symbolizing growth, fertility, and eternal life.
• Interior Fit: Paisley rugs are perfect for eclectic, bohemian, or vintage-inspired interiors. They add a sense of richness and character to living rooms, libraries, or cozy reading nooks. This design pairs well with antique furniture, soft textiles like velvet, and layered decor to create a warm and inviting space.

Design Philosophy:

Patina rugs celebrate the beauty of time-worn and distressed surfaces. These rugs are intentionally designed or naturally aged to have a faded, vintage look. The process can involve washing the rugs multiple times, or using a distressed dyeing process, to achieve a soft, muted palette and worn-down textures. The result is a rug that exudes a sense of history, nostalgia, and authenticity.

Characteristics:

• Patterns: Patina rugs retain traditional designs like medallions, floral motifs, or geometric shapes, but they are often blurred or faded, giving them a well-worn, antique appearance.
• Colors: Muted, earthy tones dominate Patina rugs. Think soft greys, beige, faded blues, or subtle greens. The colors are understated, blending naturally into various interior styles.
• Materials: Typically made from wool or wool blends, Patina rugs are durable yet soft underfoot, adding a layer of luxury to their worn-in aesthetic.
• Accessories: Layered textiles, such as throws, cushions, and curtains in natural fabrics like linen or cotton, add to the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Vintage accessories or antique-style lighting can help complete the look.

Material Overview: Wool rugs offer the perfect blend of durability and comfort. Wool brings a natural warmth, softness, and insulation to the rug, while cotton adds strength and flexibility. Together, these fibers create a rug that is both luxurious and long-lasting.

Delicacy: Wool is naturally resistant to stains and spills, while cotton helps the rug maintain its shape and structure. However, care should be taken to avoid excessive moisture or harsh sunlight, as it may cause the fibers to weaken or fade over time.

Sustainability: Our wool rugs and cotton rugs are made from organic materials and woven with natural dyes, making them safe and sustainable for your home. As organic materials, wool and cotton are biodegradable and eco-friendly, perfect for those looking for sustainable home decor options.

Care Advice: To extend the life of your wool rug, regular vacuuming on a low setting will prevent dirt from becoming embedded in the fibers. Rotate the rug every few months to ensure even wear. Spot clean with mild detergent and cool water when necessary, but avoid soaking the rug. For deep cleaning, we recommend professional rug cleaning services to preserve the natural beauty and integrity of the fibers.

Sarouk rugs are like blooming gardens captured in wool, with floral designs that invite you to step into a world of natural beauty.

Owning a Sarouk is like owning a piece of Persian paradise, an invitation to immerse yourself in the warmth of heritage.

Design Philosophy: Runner rugs are long and narrow, designed to fit into tight or elongated spaces. They are functional but also add texture and warmth to otherwise overlooked areas.

Room Suitability:

• Hallways: Runner rugs are ideal for hallways, offering a soft path and adding color or pattern to what could otherwise be a plain, transitional space.
• Kitchens: In galley-style kitchens or narrow cooking spaces, a runner rug brings warmth and comfort underfoot while cooking.
• Bedrooms: Placing runners on either side of the bed provides a soft landing while maintaining a clean and minimal look.
• Sofa Compatibility: Runner rugs aren’t typically used under sofas but can work along the sides of seating areas in open-plan spaces, helping guide the flow of foot traffic.
• Interior Pairing: Suitable for both traditional and modern interiors. In more rustic or bohemian styles, runners with bold patterns can add character to narrow spaces.

Runners are the architectural guides of your home, designed to lead the eye and foot traffic through transitional spaces. This 2 x 6 ft (65 x 169 cm) runner rug works best in multiple rooms such as staircases, hallways and cooking isles and galley kitchens. With their length allows for 4-6" of floor exposure at both ends of the space, preventing an abrupt visual stop. For L-shaped hallways, consider using two coordinating runners with the same width but different lengths to maintain flow around corners.

• Pile Explanation: Medium pile rugs offer a balance between comfort and practicality, with a pile height ranging from 0.25 to 0.5 inches (0.6 cm to 1.2 cm). These rugs provide a bit more softness underfoot while still being relatively easy to maintain.
• Room Suitability: Medium pile rugs are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and family rooms where comfort is a priority but durability is still important. They create a cozy atmosphere without the maintenance concerns of thicker rugs. In bedrooms, a medium pile rug feels plush underfoot, adding warmth and softness to the space.
• Sofa Compatibility: Medium pile rugs are suitable for spaces with sofas and armchairs. They provide a soft surface without being too thick, so furniture sits comfortably without sinking into the rug. However, it’s important to rotate your rug regularly to avoid indentations from heavy furniture. Medium pile rugs work beautifully in living rooms with three-seater sofas, sectionals, or even a sofa and armchair combination, adding a warm and inviting feel to the room.
