Versatility of Hand-Knotted Rugs

Versatility of Hand-Knotted Rugs

Hand-knotted rugs have been a staple in home decor for centuries, and for good reason. They are versatile, adding beauty and warmth to any room they are placed in. Hand-knotted rugs are particularly versatile in their ability to blend seamlessly with a range of styles from traditional to coastal to transitional. In this blog post, we will explore how hand-knotted rugs can be used to enhance the beauty of any interior design style.

Traditional 

The perfect complement to traditional interiors, hand-knotted rugs can add a sense of history and nostalgia to a room. Traditional designs often feature intricate floral patterns, or pictorial scenes, and the use of rich, warm colors such as red, gold, and blue. When paired with antique furniture, traditional artwork, and accessories, hand-knotted rugs can create a timeless look that exudes luxury and sophistication. For a traditional room, our designers suggest a bold Serapi for maximum impact! 

Modern Farmhouse 

Hand-knotted rugs are a great addition to a modern farmhouse design. The combination of rustic elements and modern design creates a unique look that is both warm and inviting. When selecting a hand-knotted rug for a modern farmhouse design, choose a rug with a simple geometric pattern in neutral colors such as beige or gray. The natural fibers and textures of the rug will add warmth and texture to the space, while the simplicity of the design will complement the modern farmhouse aesthetic. A beige Gabbeh or a neutral Indo-Artisan style can perfectly ground a Modern Farmhouse design and create a cozy atmosphere that is perfect for relaxing and entertaining.

 

Coastal

When considering a hand-knotted rug to fit with your coastal aesthetic, color plays an important role. Coastal blues and neutrals can be seen in the Gabbeh, Oushak and Indo-Artisan styles, which all work well within this aesthetic. A staple here at Saybrook Home for our coastal design projects is the Gabbeh (or Savannah) style hand-knotted rug. This style reads as a neutral in most settings, despite its telltale repeating pattern. 

 

Transitional 

Transitional interiors combine elements of traditional and contemporary design styles to create a balanced, harmonious look. In a transitional interior, a hand-knotted rug can be used to tie together the different elements of the room. Choose a rug with a mix of traditional and contemporary design elements, such as a modern geometric pattern with a traditional color palette. The result is a space that feels cohesive, comfortable and stylish.

Hand-knotted rugs are incredibly versatile and can be used to enhance the beauty of any interior design style. Whether your home decor leans towards traditional, transitional, or somewhere in between, a hand-knotted rug can be the perfect finishing touch to tie the look of your room together.
