How do I place a large runner in a hallway?

Long runner rugs fit comfortably down the centre of narrow corridors or entryways to provide durable floor protection. Leave a uniform margin of bare wood or tile exposed on all sides. Ensure the foundation remains flat without curling edges by placing an appropriate underlay beneath the textile to prevent sliding.

Where should a geometric carpet go in a home?

Room-sized carpets with strong central medallions work effectively beneath dining tables or as the anchor for seating arrangements in a living room. The prominent design elements provide a visual anchor for surrounding furniture. Keep the immediate floor space open so the full expanse of the field and its border systems remain visible.

How do I tell different regional styles apart?

Regional styles reveal themselves through distinct structural traits and drafting habits. Heriz weaves typically display bold, rectilinear medallions, while Tabriz carpets lean towards finer, curved floral compositions. Examining the weave tightness on the reverse side often clarifies the specific tribal or urban origin.

How should I care for an antique wool rug?

Regular gentle suction vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents dust accumulation within the wool pile. Keep the textile away from direct, prolonged sunlight to protect the natural dyes. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended every few years to maintain the integrity of the wool and cotton foundation.
