1. Choose the Right Size and Shape
Selecting the right size of an oriental rug is crucial to achieving balance and harmony in your bedroom.
A larger rug can anchor the entire room, extending beyond the bed to create a cozy atmosphere, while a smaller rug can highlight specific areas such as reading nooks or seating arrangements.
For the bedroom, there are three popular sizes: scatter rugs (small in size; typically 3 feet by 2 feet), runners (6 feet by 2 feet) that can be placed at the foot of the bed, and the third option is an area rug of 6 feet by 4 feet. It all depends on the size of the bedroom.
2. Layering for Added Depth
Layering oriental rugs over neutral carpets or hardwood flooring can add dimension and richness to your bedroom. Consider using a large neutral base rug and placing a smaller, intricately designed Kashmir rug on top to create visual interest and texture.
3. Focus on Color Coordination
Oriental rugs come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Choose a rug that complements your bedroom’s existing color palette to achieve a cohesive look. Whether you prefer bold and vibrant hues or soft, muted tones, the right color coordination can enhance the overall ambiance.
We have a vast collection of rugs that vary from bright reds to subtle off-whites and ivory shades.
4. Use Rugs as Wall Art
If you have limited floor space, consider using an oriental rug as a statement wall hanging.
Handmade Kashmir rugs are often regarded as works of art, and displaying one on your bedroom wall can create a stunning focal point while preserving the rug’s intricate details.
These pieces of wall art are framed by rug lovers and showcased in their bedroom or evening living room.
5. Define Zones Within Your Bedroom
A well-placed rug can help define different functional areas within your bedroom. Use a larger rug to anchor the sleeping area, and smaller rugs to delineate dressing areas, study nooks, or seating corners.
This aspect of bedroom decor depends to a great extent on the room size. A typical bedroom is 12 feet by 10 feet or larger.
In a large bedroom, there is space for a cozy coffee table a couple of chairs, and a king/queen size bed. This allows you to place a coffee table along with a runner; with a similar design theme and colour scheme.
6. Play with Patterns
The intricate patterns of oriental rugs can introduce a touch of sophistication to your bedroom. If your furniture and decor are minimalistic, opt for a rug with elaborate patterns to add visual intrigue.
Conversely, if your bedroom has busy decor, choose a rug with a more subdued pattern to balance the aesthetics.
We have four options as far as the designs go: floral, geometric, contemporary, and pictorial.
7. Create a comfortable walking experience
Placing a plush, hand-knotted Kashmir rug under your bed can provide a soft and luxurious feel underfoot when you wake up each morning. We have natural fibers like Merino wool and natural Mulberry silk to enhance the comfort and warmth of your space.
There are several health benefits of handmade rugs; that range from less noise to cushioning of falls for children and seniors.
8. Highlight with Lighting
Proper lighting can accentuate the beauty of your oriental rug. Soft ambient lighting or strategically placed spotlights can highlight intricate patterns and textures, making the rug a captivating element in your bedroom.
This is particularly important for the wall art rugs; where a spotlight can add the effect befitting the oriental rug.
9. Match the Rug to Your Furniture Style
Whether your bedroom has a traditional, modern, or eclectic style, there’s an oriental rug to suit it. A Persian-inspired rug complements classic wooden furniture, while a contemporary geometric design can enhance a modern aesthetic.
10. Care and Maintenance
Investing in a handmade hand-knotted Kashmir rug means committing to its upkeep.
Regular vacuuming, occasional professional cleaning, and rotating the rug periodically can ensure its longevity and preserve its beauty for years to come.
We understand the challenges of maintaining rugs over extended periods of decades and hence offer professional rugs cleaning services at our showroom as well as on-site at your place in Mumbai / Navi Mumbai and Thane regions.
