Why choose handmade rugs over machine-made rugs?

The choice of rugs is huge: from mass production to intricate handmade products. Why do you make a type of carpet more unique than other types? The reasons for choosing manual work on a machine mat are as follows: carpet:

1. Uniqueness and Authenticity: Each handmade rug is unique. The artisans, in making those pieces, come up with their own impressions and details with each design, thus making every rug a work of art.
2. Super Quality: Handmade rugs are known for their durability. Artisans invest countless hours using traditional weaving techniques that create dense, long-lasting rugs. With proper care, these rugs can be passed down through generations.
3. Natural Materials. Very often, handmade rugs are made of natural materials like wool, silk, and cotton. This is not just an eco-friendlier factor but also brings them more richness than synthetic fibers ever could.
4. Purchasing a handmade rug means money to the local artisans and, more importantly, saving the traditional art forms. This is an investment in the skill set passed down through generations with roots to Indian heritage and culture.
5. Every handmade rug has a story behind it, from the weaver's region and cultural background to the interpretation of traditional patterns and motifs. Having a handmade rug is really like bringing culture and heritage into your living space.

How to Choose the Perfect Handmade Rug for Your Space?

A handmade rug can either make or break the cohesiveness of a place, as well as its warmth. Here is how you can select the right handmade rug for your home space:

1. Determine the Right Size

The size of the rug may make all the difference for the entire room. General guideline:

A living room rug should be large enough for the front legs of the furniture to be resting upon it, so it almost anchors the seating area.

Dining Room: The rug should be large enough so that the chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out.

Bedroom: Use a rug that places space on either side of the bed. Alternatively, use two rugs one for either side of the bed.

2. Color and Pattern

Color and pattern are the best ingredients in setting a room's atmosphere. The choice of color must complement existing decor and the nature of the room. Rooms, for instance, set for socialization should have bold patterns and colors for their walls, while bedrooms call for soft soothing tones.

3. Think about Material

Each rug material has a different quality. Wool rugs are very strong and warm, whereas silk rugs feel luxurious and fragile. The cotton rugs are low maintenance, and dhurries are easy to clean while being versatile. Choose one that suits your lifestyle as well as the function of the space.

4. A Story About the Story

Handmade rugs are nothing but a work of art. Shop Handmade in India provides much insight into the artisans and craft behind each rug and the cultural heritage that this rug represents.

5. Maintenance is not forgotten

Handmade rugs will require more care compared to machine-made rugs. Kindly refer to our suggestions in terms of maintaining the attractiveness and durability of your handmade rug. With proper care, your handmade rug will keep looking beautiful for many years.
