• Design Philosophy: The medallion design is one of the most iconic in Persian rugs. It features a central motif, often circular or diamond-shaped, that draws the eye toward the center. The medallion can symbolize unity, completeness, or the universe, reflecting the intricate symmetry and balance in Persian culture.
• Story: The medallion design is said to be inspired by the grand domes of Persian palaces and mosques, where the viewer’s gaze is drawn upward to the center of the dome. This sense of focus and grandeur was adapted into rug designs to create the same captivating effect.
• Interior Fit: Medallion rugs are ideal for formal living rooms, dining rooms, or entrance halls where you want to create a strong focal point. They pair beautifully with traditional furniture, rich wood tones, and classical or vintage decor. These rugs work best in spaces where elegance and symmetry are appreciated.

Design Philosophy:

Heritage rugs are a celebration of time-honored craftsmanship, weaving together centuries of tradition and artistry. These rugs are deeply rooted in cultural heritage, often inspired by the history, mythology, and daily lives of the artisans who create them. Every motif, color, and knot reflects a legacy passed down through generations, making each piece a unique connection to the past.

Heritage rugs often feature intricate patterns, floral designs, or symbolic motifs that represent the weaver’s culture and history. They prioritize meticulous craftsmanship and are typically made using natural materials like wool, silk, or cotton, dyed with organic colors derived from plants, roots, and minerals.

Characteristics:

• Patterns: These rugs often incorporate traditional Persian, Turkish/Anatolian, or regional motifs that symbolize prosperity, fertility, or protection.
• Colors: A rich palette of earthy tones, reds, blues, and golds, designed to age gracefully.
• Materials: Handspun wool, silk, and natural dyes ensure durability and authenticity.

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.

Owning a Bakhtiari rug is like owning a piece of their resilience and strength, a vibrant tapestry that brings nature and history into your home.

Design Philosophy: Rectangular rugs are the most common and versatile shape, fitting naturally into most room layouts. They provide structure and balance to spaces by mimicking the rectangular layout of furniture and rooms.

Room Suitability:

• Living Rooms: A rectangular rug is perfect for large seating areas, such as under a sectional sofa or a combination of a sofa and chairs. It defines the space while allowing ample room for foot traffic.
• Dining Rooms: A rectangular rug works well under a dining table, with enough space to pull out chairs while keeping them on the rug.
• Bedrooms: In the bedroom, a large rectangular rug can be placed under the bed, extending beyond the sides to create a warm, unified look.
• Interior Pairing: Works well in both modern and traditional interiors, creating symmetry and balance.

• Room Suitability: This 4x6 ft (130x189 cm) rug is ideal for intimate seating areas and bedrooms. Moreover, this rug excels in home offices under a desk and chair setup. Lastly, in a small living room, this rug can be an amazing complement for floating furniture.
• Sofa Structure: These rugs accommodate a loveseat or small sofa with two accent chairs. This 4x6 ft (130x189 cm) rug works well under a small floating furniture arrangement where the front legs of a 6-foot sofa rest on the rug with two 30" chairs angled at the sides.

Pile Explanation: Low pile rugs have short, dense fibers, making them sleek and practical. These rugs typically have a pile height of less than 0.25 inches (about 0.6 cm). Their tight weave gives them a smooth, flat surface, which makes them ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic.

Room Suitability: Low pile rugs are perfect for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, kitchens, and dining rooms. Their flat surface is easy to clean, and dirt or debris is less likely to get trapped in the fibers. They also work well in home offices where you need to move chairs in and out easily.
