Choose the Right Size »
The first step in decorating with an oriental rug is selecting the right size.
A common mistake is choosing a carpet that’s either too small or too large for their space.
Here are a few tips to help:
- For a spacious living room, a large rug that accommodates all the furniture (sofa, chairs, coffee table) is ideal. Ensure that the front legs of your furniture rest on the rug to create a cohesive look.
- For a cozy setup: A smaller rug placed in the center under the coffee table can add a touch of luxury without overwhelming the room.
- Layering: If you have wall-to-wall carpeting or hardwood floors, layering an oriental rug can add depth and character.
Arrange Your Furniture Thoughtfully »
The placement of your furniture should complement the rug and create a balanced, harmonious look. Here are a few popular layout ideas:
- All-on: Position all major furniture pieces on the rug for a unified look. We have several large area rugs that are 14 feet by 12 feet and even larger.
- Front legs on: Keep the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug to blend the elements.
- Floating style: Center the rug in the room with a coffee table, leaving the surrounding furniture slightly off. The coffee table rugs are typically 6 feet by 4 feet or 7 feet by 5 feet; making them ideal in most living rooms.
Mix and Match Textures »
To enhance the richness of your handmade oriental rug, consider incorporating different textures into your decor.
Velvet cushions, wooden furniture, silk curtains, and metal accents can all complement the soft and intricate feel of your rug, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere.
Highlight the Rug’s Beauty »
An oriental rug deserves to be the star of the show. Keep the surrounding decor minimal so that the intricate patterns and vibrant colors can shine.
Use lighting strategically to highlight its details and add a sense of warmth to the space.
Handmade oriental rugs are a good addition to the family heirloom and are passed from one generation to another.
Maintenance Tips for Longevity »
Handmade Kashmir rugs are crafted with love and care, and they deserve the same attention to maintain their beauty for generations. Here’s how you can keep your rug in pristine condition:
- Regular vacuuming: Avoid using a heavy beater bar and vacuum gently to remove dust.
- Rotate periodically: This helps prevent uneven wear and fading from sunlight exposure.
- Professional cleaning: Get your rug professionally cleaned every few years to preserve its colors and softness.
- Avoid heavy furniture: Use rug pads to prevent dents and protect the fibers.
In addition to the regular cleaning of your beloved carpet; we have been providing rug cleaning services at our showroom as well as at the residences of various clients in MMR (Mumbai Metro Region).
