Patchwork Rugs: Global Craftsmanship Meets Bold Personality
Patchwork area rugs are perfect to add vibrant color and style. You can use them in both traditional and modern settings. These Hand-knotted rugs are made from the finest material and are sewn together by expert artisans who build unique and elegant designs on every fabric piece using a needle and thread. Our patchwork rugs can add a hint of sophistication and grace to your interior, even the heavy-traffic areas. You can easily clean off the rug with a vacuum cleaner, when required, without causing any damage to its design.
Why Do People Like Patchwork Rugs?
A patchwork rug is made from different types of materials, like wool or cotton. They are created by sewing together small parts to make the required pattern. Patchworks usually have pieces of different shapes and sizes combined, which leads to endless design probabilities for this type of rug.Β
How is a Patchwork Rug Made?
There are slightly different methods and materials used in the creation of each patchwork rug, but the basic process is similar. Vintage rug pieces are either newly developed or recycled from other rugs or carpets and are attached to a backing.
We use a strong backing, which is often made from a piece of matting with its color removed. This gives our vintage patchwork rugs high levels of durability. These patch rugs can withstand heavy traffic and have significant functions in a busy home. We attach the pieces of our handmade rugs by hand stitching the labeled patches to ensure they are connected to the right place on the backing. The result is an elegant rug that incorporates unique colors and designs to make one spectacular whole.
How to Style Your Patchwork Rug
The true beauty of a patchwork rug lies in its versatility. While bold, it has an incredible ability to either anchor a room's design or blend seamlessly into it. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:
- Create a Focal Point: In a room with neutral furniture and minimalist decor, a vibrant patchwork rug becomes the undeniable star. It can introduce color, texture, and personality into the space without overwhelming it. Let the rug be the primary source of pattern, keeping walls and large furniture pieces solid.
- Embrace the Eclectic: For a bohemian or maximalist style, a patchwork rug is a natural fit. Don't be afraid to layer it with other textures and patterns. It pairs beautifully with leather, natural wood, velvet, and an abundance of green plants to create a rich, curated, and lived-in feel.
- Unify Your Color Palette: A multi-colored patchwork rug can be the perfect tool to tie a room together. Pick two or three of the accent colors from the rug's design and repeat them throughout the space in your cushions, curtains, artwork, or other accessories. This creates a cohesive and intentional look.
- Modernize a Traditional Space: Place a patchwork rug in a room with traditional or classic furniture to add an unexpected, contemporary twist. A rug made from overdyed antique pieces, in particular, can bridge the gap between old and new, lending an artistic and updated air to a more formal setting.
What Character You Can Expect from A Patchwork Rug?
Nothing can match the uniqueness of a patchwork rug when it comes to floor covering with character. We prefer to take patches from antique carpets that are decades old. The patches create a blend of the past with the present.
Antique patchwork rugs also contain an assortment of different features that entice people toward your interior. You can style a patchwork boho rug on a wooden or stone floor to develop an elegant, warm and fascinating feel. The rug is best when placed in front of a fireplace. You can also use a patchwork rug with a plain carpet, to create an innovative yet elegant splash of color.
Why Choose Patchwork Rugs?
We are close to depleting a part of the planet's natural resources. But still, we continue to contaminate our surroundings with many of our activities. For these reasons, it is best to recycle as much as possible.
Not each patchwork rug recycles pieces of old rugs, but many do. Pieces of vintage rugs or carpets that are not in a useable condition, but have some portions that are in a good state, are brought together, to build a new rug that is incredibly durable and creative.
According to us, using old patchwork to develop a new rug is an excellent way to produce a unique product while also helping to protect the planet.
