Wool rugs for a natural feel at home

Our wool rugs are made of pure virgin wool of the highest grade. This natural material regulates room temperature, retains warmth in winter and has a cooling effect in summer. Wool absorbs moisture without feeling damp and improves the indoor climate in the long term.

The natural elasticity of wool fibers ensures that dents from furniture disappear quickly. Lanolin, the wool’s own natural grease, forms a protective layer against dirt. Wool rugs are naturally flame-retardant and hypoallergenic. With proper care, high-quality wool rugs last 20 to 30 years.

Silk rugs for luxurious accents

Silk rugs represent the pinnacle of the art of knotting. The fine silk threads allow extremely high knot densities of up to 500,000 knots per square meter. Their characteristic sheen gives every room a refined atmosphere. Silk rugs are particularly suitable for prestigious areas with little foot traffic.

Material and craftsmanship

The quality of our rugs starts with the choice of raw materials. New Zealand virgin wool impresses with its fineness and natural white color. Highland wool from Tibet and Nepal offers exceptional robustness. Ghazni wool from Afghanistan is distinguished by its silky sheen and longevity.

Kurk wool from Iran is traditionally hand-spun and captivates with its fineness. Merino wool with a fiber diameter of less than 24 microns is among the finest types of wool. Origin and processing have a decisive influence on the feel, look and durability of the finished product.

Hand-knotted rugs are created on the loom over months of work. Every single knot is tied by hand and pulled tight. Depending on origin and tradition, the knot density varies between 40,000 and more than 400,000 knots per square meter. The denser the knotting, the more detailed the patterns can be.

Colors and patterns for every style

Our range covers a broad spectrum of colors. Neutral tones such as beige, gray and white suit every interior style. You can add bold accents with models in red, blue or green.

Warm colors such as yellow, orange and brown create a cozy atmosphere. Cool shades of turquoise or purple have a calming and elegant effect. For playful interiors, we also offer pink and multicolored designs.

The patterns range from classic medallions and floral borders to geometric compositions. Modern designs rely on abstract surfaces and minimalist structures. Traditional Gabbeh rugs feature simple, expressive motifs in vivid natural colors. Every pattern tells its own story and bears the signature of its knotter.

Sizes and formats for every room

We stock rugs in all standard sizes. Small formats from 40 x 60 cm (1.31 x 1.97 ft) work well as an accent next to the bed or in front of the wardrobe. Medium sizes such as 100 x 150 cm (3.28 x 4.92 ft) or 150 x 200 cm (4.92 x 6.56 ft) fit under coffee tables or in dining areas.

For spacious living rooms, formats from 200 x 300 cm (6.56 x 9.84 ft) are recommended. This size brings complete seating groups together and creates visual unity. Oversized rugs up to 300 x 400 cm (9.84 x 13.12 ft) are suitable for lofts or open-plan layouts that call for a statement.

In addition to rectangular formats, we also offer round, square and oval models. Round versions bring softness and flow to a room and are a good choice for dining areas or cozy reading corners. Square models suit clearly structured rooms and fit well under square or rectangular tables. Runners in various lengths are perfect for accentuating narrow areas such as hallways or the space beside beds. The right size depends on the size of the room, the furniture and the dimensions you want.

The right rug for every room

Living room

In the living room, a high-quality rug creates atmosphere, completes the overall look and makes your home feel more welcoming. Choose a format that at least takes in the front legs of the seating group. The rug reduces footfall noise and noticeably improves the room’s acoustics. Warm materials such as wool provide comfort and coziness.

Bedroom

Rugs for the bedroom should be soft and kind to the skin. Wool feels particularly pleasant and soft under bare feet, and it also retains warmth. A rug next to or in front of the bed creates a sense of security and gives your home a particularly cozy feel. Light colors make the room look larger and friendlier.

Dining room

In the dining room, densely woven models with dirt-repellent properties prove their worth. Allow at least 60 cm of overhang around the table so that chairs stay on the rug when they are pushed back. Dark or patterned colors conceal signs of use better than light plain colors.

Hallway and entrance area

For hallways, robust runners in a hard-wearing quality are recommended. They withstand heavy foot traffic and give the entrance area an impressive character. Narrow formats also fit into tight passageways. Dark tones and textured surfaces are particularly practical here.

Kitchen

Kitchen rugs should be easy to care for and washable. Smaller formats in front of the sink or cooker make standing more comfortable. Choose models with a flat pile that are easy to clean. Natural materials regulate moisture and prevent unpleasant odors.

Care and cleaning

High-quality rugs are extremely durable when properly cared for. Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush to remove dust. For wool, vacuuming once or twice a week is usually enough. The natural lanolin protects the fibers and often makes elaborate treatments unnecessary.

Treat stains immediately with a damp cloth. Dab from the outside in without rubbing. Do not use hot water or aggressive cleaning agents. For stubborn soiling, professional help is recommended; a professional clean every few years keeps the rug fresh and clean and keeps its colors and patterns vibrant. Many of our customers also use this service as a sensible substitute when their own intensive care is not enough.

Occasionally airing the rug outdoors refreshes colors and fibers. Wool regenerates naturally in the process. Turn the rug from time to time to ensure even wear. Slight shedding in the first few weeks is normal and subsides on its own.

Buying advice and quality criteria in the online shop

Several factors count when buying a rug. Besides knot density, dimensions and material also play an important role in the choice. The knot density indicates the richness of detail and durability. High-quality hand-knotted pieces reach more than 160,000 knots per square meter. Check the back: with genuine hand-knotting, the pattern is clearly visible.

You can recognize material quality by softness, sheen and elasticity. High-quality wool returns to its original shape immediately after pressure. Natural dyes show soft shading, while synthetic colors look more even and intense. Ask for a detailed explanation of origin and processing.

The price reflects the material, the production method and the work involved. Hand-knotted one-of-a-kind pieces cost more than machine-woven models but offer considerably greater longevity. A good rug is an investment for decades. Compare different offers and take your time to decide, because the right choice makes a noticeable difference in effect and use.
