THE ART OF A
TURKISH RUG
Craftsmanship That Endures
A genuine Turkish rug is more than décor, it’ s an investment in artistry, comfort, and lasting beauty. These rugs are celebrated for their heritage craftsmanship, where every knot tells a story of skill and tradition. While fine wool and silk are long-standing hallmarks of quality, today’ s premium polyester and polypropylene options offer the same luxurious appearance with added durability, stain resistance, and everyday practicality. Whether traditional or modern in material, the key is quality, dense weaving and tight knots that ensure your rug maintains its form and charm for years to come.
Proportion and Placement
A well-sized rug doesn’ t just occupy floor space, it defines it. One of the most common design challenges is choosing the right size and arrangement. A simple guideline: let the rug anchor your main furniture pieces. In a living room, that means placing at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug. This instantly creates a grounded, cohesive, and intentional look.
Balancing Pattern and Personality
Think of your rug as art for your floor. If your furniture features solid tones, consider introducing a striking traditional motif or modern abstract design. If your upholstery already has pattern, choose a rug with subtle texture or soft geometric details to balance the visual flow. Turkish rugs are remarkably versatile, bringing warmth, texture, and colour to any space without the need for a single brushstroke of paint.
A thoughtfully chosen Turkish rug doesn’ t just transform your floor, it elevates the entire feeling of a room. With timeless craftsmanship and enduring appeal, it will enrich your home for years to come.
