How do I place a large carpet in a room?

A room-size carpet anchors the furniture arrangement, with large formats typically sitting beneath the main seating group to ground the space. Smaller rugs and runners suit hallways, hearths, or narrower circulation areas. Allowing exposed floorboards around the perimeter of the carpet creates a balanced frame for the room's proportions.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy foot traffic?

Wool and cotton construction provides natural resilience, making these durable floor coverings well-suited for everyday living areas. Regular care helps preserve the wool pile against wear. Placing a suitable underlay beneath the rug prevents slippage and absorbs impact from footsteps.

How do regional styles differ?

Persian pieces often feature intricate curvilinear floral sprays and central medallions, while Caucasian and village pieces tend toward bolder, more geometric interpretations of botanical themes. Eastern European folk art introduces distinct local colour combinations. Examining the corner spandrels and border arrangements helps identify the specific weaving district.

How do I care for an older wool rug?

Vacuuming with standard rotating brush attachments lifted high prevents damage to the delicate wool pile and fringes. Gentle professional cleaning removes embedded dirt safely without altering the wool fibres. Keeping the textile out of direct, harsh sunlight prevents fading in natural dyes.
