How should Oriental rugs be placed in a bedroom?

Placing an area rug beneath a bed in an offset manner provides maximum visual appeal. To do this, position the area rug beneath your bed, no less than half the distance from the headboard, but as far as just placing about 1/3 of the rug underneath. This placement allows you to display the rug’s design prominently.

How do you place a Persian rug in a room?

In a bedroom, a rug will make the room feel plush, as if staying in a luxury hotel. You may choose to place two rugs at either side of bed so that there is comfort underfoot; if so, ensure that both rugs are the same style or colour. Placing them symmetrically will also visually enhance the space.

What is so special about a Persian rug?

Renowned for their rich colors and interesting designs, Persian rugs are made with all-natural wools, silk and vegetable dyes, rather than synthetic materials. Because of their painstaking craftsmanship, Persian rugs are also highly regarded for their quality and durability.

Can you put a coffee table on a Persian rug?

In fact, a Persian rug in a traditional style displayed in a modern room can really steal the show! Use a sofa to anchor your rug. Add two end tables on each side of the sofa. Place the coffee table in the center and place two chairs facing the sofa.

Where do you put a Persian rug?

You can use the area rug to define space in a large room. For example, if you have one large room that serves as both family room and breakfast nook, place the Persian rug in the family room and another area rug in the breakfast nook to “separate” the two “rooms.”

How do you coordinate a Persian rug?

Mix your rugs from room to room as you would your fabrics in a single room — Orientals/neutrals/small patterns/geometrics/tonals. Flip flop your major pattern — Oriental on the floor, quieter patterns on the upholstery and vice versa. Make sure there is some color scheme threading its way from room to room.

What is the difference between a Persian rug and a Persian carpet?

In the past, any carpet made in Asia or the Middle East (including China, India, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran) was considered Oriental. Persian carpets are traditionally made in the Middle East, specifically Iran, which was formerly known as Persia. That means Persian rugs are a subset of Oriental rugs.

Is putting a rug on carpet OK?

Area rugs generally work best over short-pile or looped carpet. Don’t put an area rug over a very long-pile carpet, such as a frieze or a newer “soft carpet” (such as SmartStrand) because the area rug will not have firm support, and will shift, buckle and wrinkle.

How do you protect a Persian rug?

Use thick, rubber padding under wool rugs. Select a firm pad to prevent the rug from sliding on the floor, bunching or stretching from foot traffic. Put a silk Persian rug over a thin, rubber pad, as thick cushioning causes the rug’s foundation to stretch and puts tension onto the delicate weave.
