How does pile height affect the look and feel?
Visually, lower pile rugs show intricate patterns clearly and feel crisp. Higher pile rugs feel luxurious and absorb sound but are more maintenance-intensive. In hospitality, lower pile (12-15mm) is often preferred; in residences, client preference varies. We help you balance aesthetics and practicality.
What are flatweaves and dhurries?
Flatweaves and dhurries are essentially the same—woven textiles with pattern integrated into the weave. They’re durable, thin, lightweight, and don’t shed. Perfect for kitchens, entryways, or layering under statement rugs. Less luxurious underfoot than pile rugs, but more practical for certain spaces.
Why is wool popular for rugs?
Wool fibres have natural oils that repel liquids, reducing stain risk. It insulates and feels warm underfoot. Wool also ages gracefully—it becomes softer and more character-filled with time. It’s the ideal base material for most residential and hospitality projects. Sourcing ethical, sustainable wool is important to us.
