RUG STYLES
There are two main types of construction used to
produce floor rugs and wall hangings - hand made rugs and machine made
rugs.
|
 |
|
HAND MADE RUGS:
Hand made rugs include: hand knotted, hand tufted and kilim rugs. From
the above, hand knotted rugs are the most valuable and durable as its
process of weaving involves one person actually spinning the yarn and
knotting each rug one yarn at a time.
MACHINE MADE RUGS:
Machine made rugs are becoming more popular than ever.
It’s an affordable way of enjoying the designs of hand made
masterpieces. Generally they are available in a large selection of sizes
with matching runners and door mats.
|
YARN TYPES
The quality of rugs will depend on the type of
fibre(s) used on the pile as well as the process of construction. The
two main types of yarns are synthetic yarns and natural yarns.
|
 |
NATURAL YARNS
Wool yarn is the most well known fibre used in rug
production. It has been used for hundreds of years and for good reason.
It is naturally hard wearing, with great resilience. The actual shape of
the yarn has soil hiding properties that make it appear cleaner than
synthetic rugs. Noted for luxury and softness, wool has high bulk.
Silk is often used to add accent
colours to high end wool rugs or it can be used to make an entire rug.
Silk has a very soft, luxurious feel to it.
|
|
SYNTHETIC YARNS
Polypropylene is a single process
yarn, which is made up with the colour already incorporated in the
fibre. It is much harder for this yarn to be stained.
|
|
Heat set polypropylene is
polypropylene yarn that is twisted and then treated with heat to stay
twisted and mimic the natural look of wool yarn. It offers exceptional
colour fastness and wear properties
Acrylic is a soil and wear resistant
yarn. It is easy to clean and it has an unlimited variety of brilliant
colours. Most acrylic rugs are cottony soft and have beautiful textures.

INTERIOR DESIGN WITH RUGS
START FROM THE RUG:
If you start with a totally empty room, choose a
rug, then paint the wall(s) in colours found in the rug. Those colours
can be the foundation for your room.
|
 |
MATCHING YOUR RUG WITH YOUR EXISTING DECOR
If you start with furniture, choose a rug to pick up
the colours used in your furnishing patterns. You may do this by taking
up a favourite shade in your sofa or curtains, and use this as the
foundation of the rug you wish to purchase.
MAKING THE RUG THE FEATURE
There is also a trend to use rugs as a point of reference in a
room. A bright modern design used with chrome and leather furniture,
or a beautiful traditional pattern under a formal dining table,
overall an area rug can visually integrate and harmonise diverse
elements in any décor or can revitalise a room.
