5 Types of Rugs and Which One You Should Choose

September 13, 2023 | By

A rug can change the look and ambience of a space, and the material it is made influences the way it looks and satisfaction standards. A rug serves as the room’s cornerstone and establishes the furnishings. It does not just protect your floors, but it also provides cosy warmth and is a great way to add colour and make an aesthetic statement. However, given many factors to consider, deciding on the right rug for your space can be a confusing task. 

Here in this blog we share some rug options for you to consider. 

Shaggy Rugs

Due to their shape resembling noodles, shaggy rugs are a variety of floor rugs with a lengthier pile length than other rugs. This longer pile length has a much looser feel, hence the name “shaggy.”

The warmth created by shaggy rugs on your floor is incredibly useful in the winter months for anyone with carpet or wood floorboards – ideal for a cosy night in your living room.

Wool is by far the best material used in shaggy rugs for a variety of reasons, including its hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly, and fire-resistant properties. 

Because of long pile cushions and the impact of footsteps on your floors, shaggy rugs can also help to reduce noise in a home or office.

Jute Rug

Jute rugs are made of natural fibres derived from vegetable plants. The plant fibres are made into strands that are woven into knots and braids depending on the desired pattern of the rug. The rug is composed of these knots and braids.

The high tenacity, heat insulation properties, absorbency, and rough texture that is easy to clean make this material an excellent choice for the rug. Jute rugs can be vacuumed as well as spot cleaned.

A handwoven jute rug’s natural fibres add a stylish, raw texture to your home. Jute rugs are also a popular base for more colourful, patterned rugs due to their chunky knit weave.

Because jute is a fast-growing, replaceable fibre, the production of jute area rugs has no negative environmental impact. These eco-friendly rugs are excellent alternatives to potentially expensive machine-made rugs. They are both recyclable and biodegradable, which is a plus if you decide to change your decor.

Persian/Oriental Rug

Oriental rugs are those that are hand-knotted only in Asia, which today includes China, Iran, India, Pakistan, Tibet, Nepal, Turkey, and even Russia. Persian rugs also are hand-knotted, but a true Persian rug is one that was made in Iran.

Persian and Oriental rugs are simply made with far more care than most modern rugs. They not only provide long-term, resilient benefits to the home, but they can also be investments that increase in value over time, not to mention having a great deal of sentimental value.
