Modern Heriz Runner Red Rug 3x11 Wool-Cotton

• 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:

Modern rugs embody contemporary design principles, emphasizing simplicity, clean lines, and abstract patterns. These rugs often break away from traditional Persian motifs, opting for a more minimalistic and geometric aesthetic. Modern rugs typically feature bolder use of colors, and they may incorporate asymmetry, irregular shapes, or block patterns.

Characteristics:

• Patterns: Modern rugs often showcase geometric designs, abstract art, or minimalistic patterns. Stripes, chevrons, or irregular shapes are common.
• Colors: These rugs frequently feature bold or contrasting color palettes, from monochrome designs to pops of bright, vibrant hues like yellow, orange, or red.
• Materials: High-quality materials like wool, cotton, and sometimes synthetic blends are used. The pile tends to be lower, focusing on practicality and durability.
• Accessories: Use minimalist or abstract art on the walls, with metallic or glass accents to keep the space light and airy.

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.

In the rugged highlands of Heriz, weavers draw inspiration from the strength of the mountains that surround them. Heriz rugs are bold and powerful, their geometric patterns echoing the rough beauty of the land. They are woven to last, much like the mountains themselves, and offer a sense of grounded stability. Each rug tells a story of resilience and endurance, making it a perfect choice for homes that cherish strength, tradition, and an unshakeable connection to the earth.

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 3x11 ft (85x327 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: 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.
