Traditional rugs usually draw inspiration from Persian and Oriental patterns or Victorian and European styles. They are usually ornate and intricate in markings and color with rich details. Traditional rugs have a classic soft, pure wool pile and are ideal for adding a more formal feeling to the room. They also form great heirloom pieces. Originally, traditional rugs were made from animal skin and woven reeds, but they have evolved into various materials, designs, shapes and sizes.
Traditional rugs have sophisticated connotations and designs that resemble floral arrangements, octagonal shapes or medallions boasting diamond. Their color palette, such as deep sage, rich maroon, opulent navy and warm beige with hints of black, are fused to form luxurious floor coverings.
The mention of wool may no longer surprise you as this material is vastly known for its durability and quality. It has long been the norm that materials sourced from Mother Nature are inevitably some of the finest ones in the world.
Rugs made of wool come at a hefty price only because they last the longest, despite being a soft haven even when barefoot. Even more so if the wool is sourced from highlands where a sheep’s wool is thicker and would be more resistant to dirt, dust, and water.
Natural materials are always the superior quality in comparison to synthetic ones. The material of the base should be wool, silk, or cotton for better quality. Wool rugs should be completely matte in comparison to a shiny silk rug. Natural materials also have an effect of the air quality of the air in the room that it is placed in.
