How to Choose Artisan Rugs for Your Home

How to Choose Artisan Rugs for Your Home

Are you shopping for your dream rug? A rug that dwells into your home decor, fits into your budget, and makes your guests go wow! If you are and have spent a good amount of time looking for rugs online or in the market, a term artisan rugs must certainly have passed around you. For people who don’t know what it is or in fact, what different types of rugs actually, it can be very difficult and confusing to make a final decision.

What are artisan rugs?

Just like any other rug, artisan rugs are a piece of decor but with much more meaning than any other usual rug. With the development of modern technology, everything has been automating, even the process of rug making. However, with the idea of keeping things like before, artisan rugs are made manually using ancient artistic techniques. It doesn’t matter how much amount of rugs a machine can produce, the quality that artisan rugs deliver is unmistakable. They are also called ancient because the artistic ability and techniques of designing rugs have been passed from one generation to the other. To own an artisan rug is to own a piece of decor that has so much history and ancestry attached to it. So, it is without a doubt that they are one of the most preferred rugs for people.

What are the types of artisan rugs?

Artisan rugs are limited and can only be made using a few select types of materials. The process of creating these rugs is found to be practiced in places like Kashmir and Agra in India, where you can witness rug artists working on rugs live. The most common material used for artistic rugs includes – silk, wool, cotton, linen, and leather. They are used independently or in a mixture like silk and wool to produce the best details on the floor rug.

Where to buy?

Although you can find artisan rugs at a lot of rug sellers, it is not always as iced that you go to any seller. There are two reasons for it. To start with, they are extremely costly and a lot of rug sellers either wash old rugs and sell them as new artist rugs, or they hurry their artists to create the rug, which results in an imperfectly detailed rug. Also, not a lot of them are genuine, which is, if they say that the rug they show is very rare and from a small village in Kashmir, they are probably lying. Rug sellers use these techniques to entrap you into buying either through emotional touch or uniqueness. You should not be trapped. Artisan rugs are most commonly found in India. So, online websites like jaipurrugs.com do an excellent job of presenting some of the best artisan rugs from around the country onto your small screen.

What’s the material?

Choosing a genuine seller is just half the job done. The other half is getting to know the materials. As mentioned above, artisan rug materials range from leather, wool, silk to linen, and cotton. Naturally, each of these materials has its specifications. If you are looking for a high quality, high priced, highly detailed piece of rug, it is without a doubt that your first option should be either silk or wool. However, if you are on a budget but still demand an exotic rug, a cotton rug can be the best option for you. When silk has a longer life, cotton tends to be softer. So, it is completely upon you to decide which material you are looking for and choose a rug accordingly. Don’t hesitate to ask your seller every kind of question you have about rugs and, you should also indulge in some research online before making a final decision. Remember, not to rush yourself as the rug you choose will be with you for years to come.

What’s your choice of design?

Not every place makes the same type of artisan rug, so you should know what kind of design you are looking for. When in Kashmir you would find a rug that has a more humane approach with designs of humans, plants, and flowers, Amritsar is known widely for its floral pattern. So, you should be able to make good decisions about which design you want to go for by looking at the existing decor of your home and your personal preference.

Consider these few things before making your next artisan rug purchase and you will never go wrong. Happy shopping!
