Persian Rugs

关于

What is a Persian-style rug? Persian-style rugs are traditional floor coverings that translate centuries-old Iranian medallion and border patterns into machine-woven, easy-care versions built for everyday British homes. The original Persian rugs were hand-knotted in weaving centres such as Kashan, Tabriz and Isfahan, each with its own take on the central medallion, the dense floral field and the multi-band border. Our Persian-style range borrows that same structure, so you get the traditional medallion rug look at a fraction of the hand-knotted price , without pretending to be something it isn't. Where to use a Persian-style rug A large Persian-style rug works hardest as the anchor of a living room, centred under the front legs of a sofa and coffee table so the seating area reads as one space rather than scattered furniture. In hallways and landings, a bordered rug cut as a runner (67×200cm and similar narrow sizes appear across the range) handles daily footfall while adding pattern to an otherwise plain corridor. Dining rooms need more coverage than most buyers expect: a Persian carpet or oriental medallion rug should extend at least 60cm beyond the table on every side , so chairs stay on the rug even when pulled out. In a bedroom, a smaller Persian-style rug either side of the bed softens the first steps of the morning, especially over wood or tile flooring. Persian-style rug sizes, colours and materials Sizes across the collection run from compact 80×150cm accent pieces to a 240×340cm rug for an open-plan living room, so measuring the space matters more than the pattern itself. Expect jewel tones such as deep red, navy and emerald alongside warmer neutral palettes in cream, beige and taupe, with the pattern split roughly between dense floral fields, geometric borders and classic central medallions. Most designs are machine-woven in polyester or polypropylene for stain resistance and easy cleaning, with a handful of wool-blend pieces for a heavier hand-feel; check
