• Design Philosophy: Plain rugs focus on simplicity and texture rather than pattern. The philosophy behind plain designs is rooted in minimalism, where the absence of intricate design allows the quality of the material, color, and craftsmanship to take center stage.
• Story: Plain rugs became more popular with the rise of modern and minimalist design philosophies in the mid-20th century. In these rugs, the focus is on the subtleties of texture, weave, and material, allowing them to blend seamlessly into a room while still providing a foundation for the overall decor.
• Interior Fit: Plain rugs are ideal for modern, minimalist, or Scandinavian-style interiors. They create a calming backdrop in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where neutral colors and clean lines dominate. These rugs pair well with understated, functional furniture, light wood tones, and soft color palettes.

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.

• 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.
