How to decorate with flat woven carpets
Rugs can be a great way to decorate your home. Whether you are looking for an accessory for the living room, bedroom or children's room, a carpet can add a lot of atmosphere to any room. Even in a room such as the hall, a carpet can be a nice addition. Rugs are not only beautiful to look at, they are also functional. After all, a soft rug under your bare feet when you get out of bed feels a lot nicer than a cold wooden floor and children will rather sit on a carpet than on the hard laminate. Flat-weave rugs can be of great value in any space. Here we give you the top reasons why you too should decorate your home with flat weave rugs.
What are flat weave carpets?
Before we tell you why you should decorate your home with flat weave rugs, it is of course important that you know exactly what flat weave rugs are. A flat woven rug is a rug that is made without knots. This makes the surface of the rug appear flat and even. A beautiful effect can be achieved by using special threads. Flat weaving is a popular technique for producing a variety of trendy carpet styles. Flat-woven carpets were originally used in nomadic and Scandinavian culture. Since nomads were on the road a lot, they needed rugs that were light enough to take with them. Flat-woven carpets were very suitable for this. One of the best-known types of flat woven rugs is the Kelim. This is a very colorful rug with distinctive grooves. But flat-weave rugs come in many shapes and sizes. These types of rugs have both aesthetic and functional advantages, making them very suitable for decoration.
Carpets in all colors and patterns
Appearance obviously plays a major role when choosing a rug. Flat woven carpets come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. This makes them very suitable as decoration. There will always be a color or pattern that fits perfectly into your room. Whatever style the rest of your furniture is, there will always be a flat weave rug to match. Are you looking for something to give your neutral colored room more atmosphere? Then you choose a beautiful, striking color or print pattern. If the rest of the decor is already quite busy, then enough simple patterns and colors are available to give the room a calmer look. So you can always choose a carpet that is just the right addition to the room.
A flat woven carpet is affordable
No matter how beautiful rugs are, it is always a considerable investment to purchase one. Fortunately, many flat-weave rugs are a bit cheaper than if you were to buy a hand-knottedrug for example. There are many good quality flat weave rugs that would suit many people's budget. The large selection of affordable rugs is certainly a good reason to consider this type of rug if you want to decorate your home.
Strong, easy-care rugs
If you have carefully selected a carpet, you naturally want to enjoy it for a longer period of time. Fortunately, flat-woven carpets are very strong and therefore remain beautiful for a long time. Especially in rooms where other rugs are less practical, because, for example, there is a lot of walking on them, a flat-woven rug can offer the solution. In fact, this type of rug is so strong that it can be used outside.
In addition, these types of carpets are easy to clean. This makes them very suitable for families with small children, where accidents can happen regularly. Everyone in the family can make enthusiastic use of the carpet, without having to worry that the carpet will suffer.
Don't worry about ‘fluffs’
Many beautiful rugs have a woven wool surface, which can remove a lot of fluff during use. In order to keep your room clean, if you have such a rug, you will often have to vacuum extra. The fluff can also be extra annoying for people with allergies. Allergens and dust linger longer in the fluff released by the rug. You don't have all these problems with a flat woven carpet. A flat woven rug does not fluff and is easy to vacuum. Allergens will also linger much less in the rug and these rugs are always treated against most allergies. This makes it a perfect choice for everyone.
They are easy to move and use around the house
Although a rug can give a room a lot of extra atmosphere, it can at the same time limit the possibilities of the room. It is not so easy to move a large, heavy rug and any changes you want to make to your room will always have to be adapted to the rug that is already there. A flat woven rug, on the other hand, has a light structure, which makes it easier to move or even remove
