Rashi Bajaj, who owns a luxury handmade rugs brand, explains what all to look for when you are choosing rugs for different rooms of the house:
BEDROOM OR WALK-IN CLOSET
For your bedroom and a walkin closet, use a plush handtufted rug with a high pile height and a soft yarn, something along the lines of bamboo silk or similar materials.
CHILDREN’S ROOM
For kids’ bedrooms and playrooms, use only handwoven and eco-friendly rugs in light cotton. These are easy to clean and maintain. Light cotton rugs do not contain harmful dyes or fleecing, making them ideal for children.
LIBRARY/STUDY
To give your study a rather formal look, a good idea would be to use a leather rug or a handwoven rug with leather inputs.
Alternately, you can also use a handwoven rug in jute to give it more texture.
LOBBY AREA
A sturdy hand-knotted rug in 100% wool will not just keep up with the footfalls that are common in the lobby area, but is also easy to clean and maintain.
