What traffic level can different rugs handle?
High-traffic areas (entryways, hallways, kitchens) need durable constructions like hand-knotted or robust hand-tufted. Moderate-traffic areas (living rooms, bedrooms) suit most rugs. Low-traffic formal spaces can showcase delicate or silk rugs. We help match rug type to your actual usage.
Can I use this rug in a kitchen or bathroom?
Kitchens are challenging due to moisture and spills. Wool-based rugs absorb moisture; synthetics are easier to clean. In bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent moisture accumulation. High-humidity rooms benefit from synthetics or treated materials. We discuss room conditions during consultation.
Are your rugs safe for homes with babies or children?
Babies and children are safe on our rugs. We use non-toxic dyes and secure construction. Hand-tufted is slightly safer than hand-knotted (no loose knots to pull). Ensure proper underlays to prevent tripping. Spills are manageable with appropriate materials—discuss your needs during consultation.
Are your dyes non-toxic?
Our dyes are colour-stable and non-toxic once the rug is finished. All new rugs may have slight dye smell for a few days—this is normal and fades quickly. We use reputable dye suppliers who follow environmental and safety regulations.
What happens if my family has pet hair or pet accidents?
Pet homes benefit from practical material choices. PET or nylon blends are easy to vacuum and spot-clean. Wool resists staining but requires prompt cleanup. Discuss your pet situation—we’ll recommend the most practical construction and material. Accidents happen; durable rugs are key.
