HOW TO CHOOSE THE COLOR OF THE RUG?

Rugs are undoubtedly one of the essential complements of living spaces. If you want to revitalize the place, you can get help from rugs of different styles, patterns, and colors. Thanks to the proper rug selection, you can give your home the air you want! So, how do you choose rug color and what should be considered when choosing a rug color?

There are two critical factors to consider when choosing a rug: your lifestyle and the decoration style of the place you want to create.

Have a child or pet at home? Is the site where the rug will be found a constantly used area such as a living room or hallway? If your answer to these questions is yes, dark-colored, and patterned rugs that do not show dirt like Lucy rug will be the right choice for you. If you have a pet, you can camouflage the shed hair by choosing the rug’s color in similar colors to your cute friend.

If your space is small and you want a bright room, you can choose white or cream rug models like Juli rug. In this way, you can create the perception of a spacious and wide area by reflecting the light better. Yellow, orange, red, or brick-colored rugs will add warmth to the space. If your living area receives enough sunlight, you can create a calmer atmosphere by turning to cool colors.

Before you go rug shopping, you can first chart the color scheme. When choosing a rug, it will be convenient for you to have a color chart of throw pillows, curtains, furniture, or wall colors with you. It’s tough to predict how the colors will complement each other without any references. If your large furniture such as a sofa is a single color, you can choose a patterned rug. The second color of the patterned rug can be in the same tones as your armchairs. The third color can match with other space colors such as curtain, pillow, or wall color.

If your furniture is patterned or has a flashy design, you can choose solid-colored rug models. The solid-colored rug you choose should complement the colors of the sitting group and catch the balance with the accessories in the room.

Choosing the right rug color for your sweet home

Color selection criteria for rug

“The color choice is made to create four different effects in the rooms. These effects are freshness, warmth, coldness, or lukewarmness. In addition, the color chosen on the rug is related to how much you want to emphasize the floor. If you’re going to highlight the bottom of your house in decoration; You can choose your rug with a neutral color and without a pattern.

Choice of warm or cool colors

Undoubtedly, colors have a significant effect on providing the desired environment in the rooms. The use of warm colors is every day in northern and eastern cultures. In the south and west, the preference for cold colors stands out.

 

Colors such as yellow, orange, or bluish-red should be chosen to make the room warmer. Colors such as blue or yellowish-green can be preferred to make the room cooler.

 

Viewing one room from another room offers two options. These rooms will either be connected using standard colors or separated by decorating them with different colors. The fact that the rugs on the floors of the two rooms further help in dissolving the rooms.

 

Suppose you have a pet, and it is constantly shedding. In that case, the room’s rug where it will be found should be the same color as the animal’s hair so that the necessity of continually vacuuming the rug is eliminated.

 

Furniture in the room is also essential in choosing the color of the rug. Wood tones never harmonize with some colors, but there are also colors that they do. Therefore, when going to buy a rug, make sure to compare the colors of the rugs with the color of your furniture.

 

Preference of light, medium and dark tones

Light colors give a refreshing effect. The effect of dark colors is relaxing and warm. Mid-tone shadows do not make any difference in our perception. While the light reflecting feature of light colors makes the rooms brighter, the light absorption feature of dark colors will give the room a darker appearance.

 

The most crucial feature of medium tones is that these rugs are easy to clean. While white colors show dirt immediately, lint formed because of piling on dark rugs appears more clearly.

 

A large rug always looks darker at home. The ground is a large area. The rug covering the entire floor intensifies the color. For this reason, there is a difference in darkness between a small sample of the same rug and a large kilim. Choosing a lighter shade of the color you want from the rug samples will enable you to reach the desired tone.

 

Preference for dull, softened, and bright colors

Brightly colored rugs add liveliness to the room and are unsuitable if a calm room environment is desired. Colors softened by adding a little gray can be preferred in controlled environments where you spend a long time. If the room is used frequently and the rug is pale, neutral, dull, or soft colors should be preferred because these colors camouflage the dirt.

 

Quiet and peaceful room

Colors: For a peaceful environment, it is necessary to avoid significant color contrasts. Varying color tones on a monochrome rug as dark and light are suitable for creating a calm environment.

It is wise to use dark colors on the floor because dark colors are compatible with gravity. With cold colors; Green and blue are relaxing. Gray and darker colors also give peace. We feel peaceful when the surroundings turn gray with the setting sun in the evening because gray softens every color.

Simplicity: Pattern always brings vitality, but there is no need for liveliness in a room where peace and comfort are aimed. If a pattern is desired, this pattern can be a less noticeable but beautiful pattern on the rug.

Surface: Rugs with soft and flat floors give comfort. As well as providing comfort to the touch, these rugs also absorb noise.

 

Lively and animated room

Colors: Bright and warm colors such as red, orange, and yellow energize people like sunlight. The use of very contrasting colors leaves an exciting effect on the person. Contrasting colors such as red and green, blue and orange, pink, and yellow increase each other’s power and impact when used together.

Pattern: Bold patterns are exciting. Bold prints designed in contrast with each other attract attention. The more the way is used, the livelier the room will become.

Surface: Hard and rough rugs give vitality. Because uneven floors also reflect light in various directions. Various combinations of light and shadow occur. This variety creates a feeling of dynamism and movement.

 

Relaxing room rug

Colors: Using colors at medium values ​​will give a feeling of comfort. There may be a moderate contrast between colors, but it should not be sharp. Bright colors or softened warm colors should be preferred.

Pattern: Linear patterns should be preferred. Patterns can be moderately contrasted. If the room looks dull, patterns can be added, but the patterns can be removed from the decoration if the room looks lively.

Surface: Rug surface can be preferred as smooth or slightly rough.

 

Joyful Room

Color: Light and warm colors are cheerful. Yellow brings joy to people like the shining sun. Adds shine without narrowing the room.

Pattern: Beautiful patterns add joy to the room.

 

Seductive room

Color: For this purpose, the room should be covered with a warm-colored rug. The combination of dim light with warm colors creates a friendly, courteous, and comfortable atmosphere inside.

 

Surface: Rugs that are thick, rough, and have a sweet touch should be chosen. This plays a vital role in the atmosphere of the room. Thick and soft surfaces affect the senses well and create a feeling of warmth. They also offer a unique environment as they absorb sound.

Turkish Rug and Rug Business

Starting from primitive hand weaving in various parts of the world, we see that weavings that require a lot of labor and superior technique are made in museums and even in settlements that continue this tradition today.

The rug is a work of art that demands the highest technique and creative ability among these weaving works and works.

 

The fact that the word is attributed to its Turkish origin by European Turcologists proves that the Turks first put forward this work.

There are only two types of knot techniques used in creating the rug Turkish or Persian hand-knot.

Since the determination of which of them is old in terms of cultural history proves that nation’s contribution to the world culture. The debates on this subject have continued for years.

Finally, when the Russian archaeologist Rudenko brought to light a rug measuring approximately 1.90 x 2 m in the fifth kurgan in the Pazirik region of the Altai mountains and presented it for examination, the knots in it were Turkish hand-knots, thus BC. V or III.

Since there is no Persian rug older than this century-old Turkish knotted rug, it has been proven that the Turks brought such an important work as a rug to the cultural history before the Iranians. The knotting technique in this rug, known worldwide as the Pazirik rug, has also increased the interest of art historians in Turkish rugs.

Turkish Rug Motifs and…

Although the names of the masters are not mentioned in the rugs woven in Turkey, the motifs and ornaments are widely recognized.

For example, a tablet, a slit in her stomach, her hand on her waist, rosebuds, rosary, vase, wolf’s mouth, sword, eagle, double bow, cloud, cup, hand, and hundreds of other flowers, herbs, and animals are the symbol colors and lines of our young girls’ dreams. It comes to life in the loops of the rug.

In addition to the complex structure of the rug bench, the diversity and variety of the tools and equipment used are also important.

If we give only the names of the tools used in all processes, it will be better understood why this weaving branch is important: spindle whorl, spinning wheel, hank, sole (pillow), toothing, wool comb, spinning, tensioner, global, stick twig, mallet (shackle), yarn. , kirmen, kolchak, öreke, knitter, ball, etc…

Root dyes, which provide that richness of color that makes the rug more beautiful with each passing day and use, are prepared with a different effort. Knowing what kind of color will be obtained from which plant is one of the most important secrets of the rug weaving tradition in Anatolia. Some known plants and natural dyes derived from them are:

Dried apricot leaves: gives a light flesh color. The walnut’s twig, bark, or root gives the green less brown, but the fresh walnut shell makes the green darker.

Golden brown with onion peel, reddish-brown with an oak leaf, pale pink with poppy flower, mauve from the root of the barberry bush, yellow from the root sprout, greenish-brown from the ash mixed with ash, straw yellow from wild mint (peppercorn), blue blooming spruce at the time of grapes brown, dark flesh color from euphorbia, dark yellow from the tiny fruit of the short tree called buckthorn, light blue, dark blue or black colors are obtained depending on the boiling time.

As in other essential products of our folklore, those who weave the carpets have been forgotten and lost in an anonymous identity. The name of the master of any carpet is unknown.

The terms and phrases of those young girls and women who knit their surroundings, nature, feelings, and dreams into threads are never known. The only known name is the name of the region: Isparta, Ladik, Gördes, Döşemealtı, Hereke, Sivas, Yağcıbedir, Bünyan, Milas, Konya, Demirci or outside of Turkey, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Isfahan, Khorasan, Bukhara, Teke-Turkmen etc… named according to their motives. Armalı Uşak carpet, Cubuklu carpet, Dragon carpet, Star Uşak carpet, Konya animal carpet, Lightning carpet, Mihrap carpet, Snake carpet, Miniature carpet, Embroidery carpet, Bird carpet, etc…

How Often Should Rugs Be Washed?

The most researched topic on the care of rugs is how often should they be washed. The subject of how often rugs should be washed is a hot debate because it directly affects the home decorations. Based on the techniques used, it can make home decorations look warm and intimate.

If rugs are not regularly maintained, it can lead to harmful exposure to common household bacteria and fumes. Rugs are hypoallergenic and acts almost like filter, so it is essential to maintain the cleaning and washing of rugs. Like sponges, rugs absorb everything in their surroundings and if not properly managed, can be susceptible to ill health.

What are the Harms of Not Clean Rugs?

There are harmful outcomes when it comes to poor sanitation of rugs if not washed and vacuumed regularly. For example, neglecting stains can lead to bad odors and permanent damage as over time stains become more difficult to remove. It is important to treat stains immediately while it’s fresh. Otherwise, it depreciates the value of your rug.

In cases where the rugs are not cleaned properly and the colors of the rugs are distorted, the structure of the rug can deteriorate rapidly. Rugs that aren’t cleaned regularly can take longer to work.

How Often Should Rugs Be Swept?
