How do I choose the right size rug?

Consider the dimensions of your room and furniture placement to determine whether an area rug or a large carpet is appropriate. Measure the floor space carefully, ensuring adequate exposed flooring remains around the perimeter. Larger carpets anchor principal reception rooms, while smaller formats suit intimate spaces or specific seating zones. Match the scale of the rug to the proportions of the furniture resting upon it.

Where should I place a floral border rug?

These rugs suit drawing rooms, dining spaces, and libraries where traditional interior schemes benefit from classical patterns. High-traffic thoroughfares require durable wool construction to withstand regular movement. Keep delicate silk or antique examples away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to preserve the natural fibres. Use appropriate underlays to prevent slipping and reduce friction against hard floors.

How can I tell different regional styles apart?

Regional styles reveal themselves through specific colour palettes, floral motifs, and border arrangements. Persian variants like Heriz display geometric interpretations of floral designs, whereas Tabriz pieces often feature refined curvilinear patterns. Turkish, Chinese, and European examples introduce distinct regional weaving structures and ornamentations. Examining the foundation materials and knotting style provides further clues to geographic origin.
