Your First Rug? Read This Before You Buy

Hi. Yes, speaking to you. If you are here, we’ve already established that you are a decor enthusiast. But if you are reading this blog, we know that you are looking to buy your 1st rug. Rookie! That's what we call all the 1st time rug buyers, obviously with love. Blessing your space with a rug is more than decor. It is an emotion. It lays the foundation of your interior and enhances the space. It witnesses many of your firsts and holds each story knotted within itself forever. 

Since a rug holds such importance, you must be aware of your requirements and the choices available in the market. In this blog, you will find certain points that would help you purchase your 1st rug. 

1.       The Material- The type of fiber that you choose lays the foundation of your rug. It not only defines the longevity but also creates an atmosphere in your space. A wool rug tends to last long and add coziness to the space. While cotton breathes air, mixed with silk, it adds a touch of luxury. Jute is another natural material that you can go for. Highly durable and long-lasting, jute rugs can be placed at the entrance, the balcony, or the corridor.

2.       The make- Hand-tufted, hand-knotted, hand-loom or machine-made are a few types of weave. Each weave type has a different effort behind it, thus varying the cost. The visual appeal of the design you choose may vary as on the weave style. A hand-tufted carpet is made with a mixed effort of human and machine; the loom is the machine, but it is also hand operated. Han-knotted rugs can be used to make a statement. With each knot tied by hand, the design looks like a piece of art. Tufted and loop pile carpets are thicker as compared with hand-knotted rugs. They also come with high durability.

3.       The design- As we now know that a rug lays the foundation in your space, you must choose the rug’s design accordingly. From Bohemian to traditional, contemporary to transitional and even geometrical, in the market you can find rugs of each design. Choosing a neutral shaded rug can be a good option for your 1st carpet as it enables you to experiment and matches with almost everything. To make a statement, you can choose from our PTBI collection. The rugs in this collection are not only unique but also encapsulate a touch of tradition.

4.       The purpose- You might be buying your 1st rug, but the purpose should be clear. Do you need a rug for your bedroom or the living room? Depending upon its placement, you should make the right selection. In the bedroom, a fluffy rug with dense shades would create an intimate and cozy vibe. In the living room, you can go for a breezy yet versatile shaded rug.

5.       Platform- You can find good-quality rugs both online and offline. Irrespective of the brand, make sure you get a guarantee of authenticity and good customer care, followed by after-sales services.
