How woven rugs warm your space – From insulation to visual interest
Hand-woven rugs offer a plethora of benefits, from durability and practicality to beautiful, decorative statements. One key benefit of oriental rugs is their ability to warm the home both physically and visually, serving as an insulating, protective layer that looks beautiful and keeps your home decor practical for years to come.
How do rugs help warm your home?
Insulating materials
Oriental rugs provide warmth to your home in many ways; one key factor is the material used. Most Jennings oriental rugs are hand-woven from wool, a dense, durable fibre that adds texture and provides insulation in your home.
The thick wool pile helps trap heat from cold floors, retaining warmth and reducing heat loss and draughts, particularly on hardwood and stone floors, serving as a thermal barrier. The rug's fibres trap heat, making the room warmer and more comfortable underfoot. Wool is also a more natural choice than synthetic fibres.
Additionally, by adding a made-to-measure underlay, you can better insulate against heat loss and ensure the rug stays in place, creating a durable, practical solution that adds timeless charm and warmth to your space.
What makes oriental rugs more durable than others?
Protection and durability
Choosing a wool-pile rug means selecting a piece crafted by talented artisans, with hand-knotting that makes it both durable and protective for your floors. The densely knotted design prevents damage over time, reduces flattening, and enhances durability and provides a sense of quality that interior decorators appreciate.
Texture and warmth
Oriental rugs add natural padding, making your space feel inviting to walk around barefoot, even on cold days. Hand-knotted rugs add a unique texture that is equally comfortable. Their textures create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that encourages relaxation and barefoot comfort, especially on cold days.
Decoration and visual interest
Rich, vibrant colours and textures in oriental rugs add visual interest, making any space feel more cosy and intimate, inspiring homeowners to create inviting environments.
