Rug Types Explained (What to Choose & Why)

1) Hand-Tufted

What it is: Yarn is tufted into a canvas using a tufting gun, then sheared and finished.

  • Feel: Plush, comfortable underfoot
  • Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, custom name/brand rugs
  • Why you’ll love it: Great detail, faster lead time than hand-knotted, superb value

2) Hand-Knotted

What it is: Each knot is tied by hand on a loom—heritage craftsmanship.

  • Feel: Dense, heirloom quality
  • Best for: Formal spaces, long-term investment pieces
  • Why you’ll love it: Extreme durability, lifetime beauty

3) Flatweave (Dhurrie/Kilim)

What it is: No pile; woven flat for a lighter, reversible rug.

  • Feel: Lightweight, low-profile
  • Best for: Dining rooms, small spaces, layered looks
  • Why you’ll love it: Easy to clean, budget-friendly

4) Shag / High Pile

What it is: Long, fluffy fibers for cloud-soft comfort.

  • Feel: Ultra plush
  • Best for: Bedrooms, cozy corners
  • Why you’ll love it: Maximum comfort & warmth

5) Natural Fiber (Jute/Sisal)

What it is: Woven from plant fibers for earthy texture.

  • Feel: Textural, organic
  • Best for: Entryways, living rooms, layered with a softer rug
  • Why you’ll love it: Neutral, durable, eco-leaning

6) Performance / Outdoor

What it is: Engineered yarns (e.g., polypropylene) for stain & water resistance.

  • Feel: Soft but tough
  • Best for: Patios, kitchens, high-traffic areas, pets & kids
  • Why you’ll love it: Easy care, fade-resistant

How to Choose the Right Rug (Fast)

  • Size: Living rooms—front legs of seating on the rug; Bedrooms—go wider than the bed; Dining—chair legs stay on the rug when pulled out.
  • Shape: Round for small rooms or square tables; Runner for hallways; Die-cut shapes for logos/letters.
  • Pile Height: Low (easy to clean, doors clear) → High (cozy feel).
  • Material: Wool for resilience, blends for value, performance fibers for spills, natural fibers for texture.
  • Backing: Add non-slip underlay for safety & longevity.

Care & Cleaning (Quick Guide)

  • Spot clean immediately with mild detergent and water; blot, don’t rub.
  • Rotate every 3–6 months for even wear and sun exposure.
  • Use a rug pad to prevent slipping and extend life.
  • Professional clean if needed; follow fiber care instructions.
