A rug is more than a practical addition to your interior; it forms a foundation, creates atmosphere, and sets the tone in the room. With these four considerations, you make a conscious choice that is not only beautiful but also aligns with your way of living.
1. Natural material makes the difference
The material of a rug determines its appearance, feel, and how it fits into your interior. Choosing natural fibers means choosing character, durability, and comfort.
Wool is a classic for a reason. Soft, temperature-regulating, and naturally dirt-repellent. Ideal for spaces where comfort underfoot matters.

feels rich and warm, and stays beautiful, year after year.
Sisal has a different appearance: tough, structured, and strong. The fiber is slightly rougher and fits well in an interior where natural textures and a robust look are desired. Thanks to its sturdy structure, sisal is also very durable, making it highly suitable for busier areas.
Wood fiber is lightweight, yet surprisingly strong. This durable material, derived from wood, is treated to resist stains and requires little maintenance. The appearance is both natural and modern at the same time.
Also amix from materials is possible.By combining wool with, for example, sisal or wood fiber, a unique balance between softness, texture, and strength is created. This way, you get the best qualities from each material in one design.
Each material tells its own story.
So choose what fits your space, rhythm, and sense of aesthetics. Do you want softness, texture, or ease of maintenance? The choice of natural materials always provides a thoughtful foundation for a characterful interior.

2. Colors that bring your space to life
The right Color lets your interior breathe. Think about the atmosphere you want to create:
peace and unityor rathercontrast and character?
Choose neutral shades if you want the rug to blend nicely with your furniture and walls. This creates a harmonious look. Do you want the rug to make a statement? Then opt for a bold Color or a pattern that catches the eye and adds dynamism to the space.
Let the environment speak, and adjust your choice accordingly. This naturally creates a balance.
3. The Shape and size determine the effect
The right size provides peace of mind and ensures that the rug fulfills its function, whether that is connecting, defining, or softening.
Round, rectangular
or square?
Think about the function of the room and how your furniture is arranged. Optionally, place newspapers on the floor to visualize how much space your carpet can occupy.
Use tape to mark off the desired surface, and you immediately get a sense of proportion.
Is your size not among the standard sizes?

4. Finishing as a refined finale
The finishing is the final touch of every rug, a subtle line that completes, enhances, and elevates the design. It determines not only how the rug looks but also how it holds up in daily use.
You can choose a
subtle finish
with thread in the same Color as the dress, or a
cotton Border
in a shade such as gray, black, champagne, or beige.
A refined finish also contributes to theshape retention
of the rug and prevents
fray. Especially with natural fibers such as wool, sisal, or wood fiber, a good finish is essential for a long lifespan.
