An oriental rug for every room

Oriental rugs are versatile and easy to place in both traditional and modern homes. Let your own taste decide which rug is best for you! Here are some tips if you want some extra inspiration:

Living room: Choose a Persian rug that draws the eye and becomes the centerpiece of the room, or a Ziegler rug that blends into the background and highlights the rest of the decor.

Kitchen: Kelim rugs contrast with the straight lines and smooth surfaces of the kitchen. Afghan/Pakistani rugs create a relaxed environment for cooking and socializing.

Bedroom: Let a large Persian rug give the bedroom a sense of timeless elegance, or create a cozy oasis with several smaller Ziegler rugs.

Hallway: An Afghan or Pakistani runner provides a warm welcome in the hallway and creates a decorative pathway into the home. Persian runners make an impressive first impression. Choose a darker color, like a red oriental rug, to effectively hide dirt that is easily drawn in from outside.

Dining room: A Persian rug adds elegance to any meal. Afghan and Pakistani rugs invite relaxed socializing at the table.

Office: Ziegler rugs create a calm and focused work environment. Kilim rugs inspire your creativity.

Oriental rugs in all shapes

Choosing the right size rug is essential for a balanced interior. One tip is to mark the area where the rug will be laid with newspaper to get a clearer idea of how it will look before you order.

The rectangular rug is the most popular form of oriental rug. It fits perfectly in the living room, where it ties the furniture together, as well as in the bedroom and dining room.

Square rugs are more rare, but they are as easy to use as rectangular rugs. They are perfect for creating balance in square rooms and as a symmetrical complement to square and round tables.

Oriental runners, with their elongated shape, create a decorative and comfortable path between rooms and have a natural place in hallways and corridors. They are also practical in small and hard-to-furnish spaces, such as smaller bedrooms and kitchens with odd angles.

Round oriental rugs bring a modern feel to the home and create an interesting contrast against angular room shapes. They also have the ability to make small rooms seem larger. The rugs fit naturally under round tables, but dare to try a round rug under a square piece of furniture for a playful look!
