Decorate your galleries and hallways

If you aren’t able to make up your mind about committing to an area rug then try your hand at a runner first. You can place it in your entryways and hallways and get ready to make that classy first impression. Runners or small area rugs – mostly hand-knotted ones are a great fit for such places. 

Spruce up your home office

A rug can help you add plushness to the floor as well as visual and stylish warmth. It will make the room feel complete with very little effort. 

It’s been months since our homes turned into proxy offices and it looks like the concept of work from home is here to stay. One thing that has been on many of our minds since work from home became an integral part of our lives is to turn that mundane desk in the corner of the house into a functional and inspiring home office that inspires creativity and productivity. The easiest way of defining your home office space is by adding a rug to the décor. It will instantly anchor the room and give you a starting point to transform your décor.

Give your kid’s room a plush makeover

Kids have been stuck indoors for close to two years now. With limited access to fun outdoors it is important to give their rooms a fun makeover that keeps them engaged yet safe. Add a colorful kid’s rug and see their room transform into the ply area of their dreams.

The first thing to get out of the way is getting the measurement right. Kids generally have small beds, but a lot of other paraphernalia in the room so make sure that you choose a slightly larger size rug, which gives them a larger surface to goof around on.  

The vintage is back

The charm of the vintage rug pattern never ceases to amaze. Vintage or vintage-inspired rugs are a trendy rug pattern today. They are a perfect bridge between old and new and they look good in almost every space. The Persian and Oriental patterns rugs, on these rugs, go well with a modern or even contemporary décor setting and give the feel of opulence.  Vintage rug patterns are available in all kinds of colors and so they can be easily paired with most types of furniture. 

It is interesting to note there is an alternative to antique rugs. Given their cost, antique rugs might not fit every budget. But an overdyed rug is a great alternative to it. Overdyeing is the same as natural wear or corrosion from usage. It is a unique process that gives certain rugs an antique appearance. Overdyed rugs are given a special kind of a wash with a solution that eats up all the wool particles and leaves out the warp and the weft with traces of the old design. A washed rug is then overdyed using a color of choice which spreads unevenly across the rug and gives it a worn-out vintage appeal.

The Far East collection and the Lacuna (overdyed rugs) collections at Jaipur Rugs are two of the most loved vintage-inspired rug collections out there. They are perfect for pretty much every room in your home. A rug from the Lacuna collection can especially add a lot of charm to the living room space. 

Make your space look bigger with stripe pattern rugs

This is another evergreen trendy rug pattern. The pattern is available in both mild and saturated hues, which makes it a great fit for all types of décor themes. Stripe rugs are a great help when you want to make a room look big or small. You can choose from a variety of stripe sizes – from thick ones to narrow ones. There is a stripe size for every need. For a room with plain furniture, stripes can be a real game-changer.  

Jean, Annette, Indusbar, and Tesoro are some of the collections of strip rugs available in all colors and sizes at Jaipur Rugs.

The trend that is here to stay: Layering rugs

Layering rugs is more of a trend than a pattern. But it is one that has taken interior décor by storm. 

Area rugs are a great way of defining a space. In a fully carpeted area layering can help you make well-defined islands to get more structure to the décor. Layering can create interesting looks for your living room, dining area, or at the end of a bed. Some interesting ideas shared by designers for layering rugs include using a black or blue colored rug on any neutral tone. Or you can simply use a black and white pattern rug at the base and use a rainbow of colors on it. 

Layering can be a great way of mixing and matching different patterns to arrive at a unique combination. We suggest you start with a good base rug as your foundation so you can experiment. Select the rug pattern and colors that complement each other. Combine a neutral and a patterned rug, small patterns, and large patterns go well together. You can also combine stripes with a trendy rug pattern.

Buying a Jaipur Rugs handmade carpet that you are essentially bringing home is not just a home décor product, but an art piece that you can walk on. Of all kinds of rugs, the handmade ones, especially the hand-knotted rugs are the most durable. Just like the art form, these rugs can be passed down through generations. Most handmade rugs end up as family heirlooms that are cherished by several generations
