Carpets: The textile foundation of interior design
A rug is much more than just a floor covering; it's the foundational element that visually anchors a room's furniture and defines its acoustics and temperature. In interior design, rugs are used to zone open spaces without building walls, creating "islands" of comfort in living rooms and dining rooms. Our collection explores the duality between tradition and innovation: from handwoven rugs made on artisanal looms with fibers like jute or wool, to modern technical solutions in vinyl, ideal for humid or high-traffic areas. Each piece is selected to add a layer of texture and color that enriches the sensory experience of your home.
Classification by material and functionality
| Material | Technical Properties | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetable Fibers (Jute/Sisal) | High wear resistance, natural rough texture, earth tones, biodegradable. | Rustic or Mediterranean style living rooms, hallways and frequently used passageways. |
| Cotton and Wool (Natural) | Soft to the touch, superior thermal insulation, ability to dye in vibrant colors. | Bedrooms (especially children's bedrooms) and relaxation areas where people walk barefoot. Bedside rugs . |
| Vinyl (PVC) | Waterproof, hypoallergenic, easy to clean with a mop, extra-flat profile (doesn't trip). | Kitchens, bathrooms, terraces and homes with pets or people allergic to dust. |
| Synthetic (Polypropylene) | Stain and moisture resistant, colorfast in sunlight, wool-like feel. | Dining areas (easy food cleanup) and covered outdoor areas. |
Advantages of integrating carpets into the home
- Visual zoning: In open-plan layouts, a rug psychologically delimits where the living room ends and the dining room begins without physical barriers.
- Acoustic comfort: Textiles absorb echoes and reduce the impact noise of footsteps, creating quieter and more relaxed environments.
- Thermal insulation: They act as a barrier against the cold of the ground in winter and maintain a pleasant temperature to the touch all year round.
- Safety: They provide a non-slip surface (with the appropriate base) and cushion possible falls, crucial in homes with children or elderly people.
Tips for choosing the right size and style
The most common mistake is choosing a rug that's too small. In the living room, ideally the front legs of the sofa and armchairs should rest on the rug, unifying the space; it should extend at least 20 cm beyond each side of the furniture. In the dining room, the rug should be large enough so that when you pull out a chair to sit down, the back legs don't extend beyond the rug (allow an extra 60-70 cm on each side of the table). Aesthetically, a beige rug for living room adds brightness and a sense of spaciousness, while geometric designs or dark colors are better at hiding stains and drawing attention to the room.
