How to Use Vintage Rugs in a Minimalist Interior 

Add Layers Not Clutter | Faded Vintage Rugs Bring Texture

When it comes to interior design, there are countless styles to choose from. Undoubtedly, one of the most popular trends right now is a minimalist approach. A minimalist design style has notably clean lines, neutral colors and a focus on simplicity. If you prefer a minimalist style throughout your home, but don’t want things to tip over into boring or bland, try incorporating vintage rugs to add a touch of personality and charm. Here are a few tips on how to do it:

  1. Stick to neutral colors. When it comes to vintage rugs, opt for those in neutral colors like cream, beige or gray. This will help them blend in with the rest of your minimalist décor. Alternatively, consider rugs that are largely neutral but have a subtle pop of color that you like.
  2. Choose simple designs. Another key element of minimalist design is simplicity. Look for a rug with a basic pattern or no pattern at all.
  3. Go for quality over quantity. With a minimalist interior design, it's important to focus on quality over quantity. That means investing in fewer, but higher-quality pieces. When it comes to vintage rugs, this means opting for those that are well-made and in good condition.
  4. Use a vintage rug as a focal point. One of the best ways to incorporate a vintage rug into a minimalist interior design is to use it as a focal point. This can be done by placing it in the center of a room or in an area that gets a lot of traffic. Additionally, as mentioned above, consider choosing a rug with a subtle pop of color that will break up all of the neutrals in your décor (if this idea suits you).
  5. Layer them up. If you really want to make a statement, try layering two or more vintage rugs on top of each other. This creates an interesting look and can add some extra warmth to your space.

By following these tips, you can easily incorporate a vintage rug into a minimalist interior design. Doing so will add some personality and charm to your home without compromising the overall simplicity of the space. If you're looking for the perfect vintage rug to get started, have a look through Esmaili Rugs Online Gallery or visit our store at 1511 Dragon Street in Dallas, TX.

How to Bring Very Peri Pantone's 2022 Color of the Year into Your Home

Pastel Very Peri Rugs As is customary every year, Pantone announced the 2022 color of the year. A new shade to the color company was selected this year: Very Peri . Described by Pantone as a mirror of the times, Very Peri symbolizes the changes we’re seeing in the world today. Coming out of what was essentially a two-year isolation and re-entering the world as we (used to) know it, many people are experiencing a shift in their thinking. Very Peri is meant to represent the ways in which our digital and physical lives have become intertwined.

Overdyed Pastel Lavender Rugs Pantone Very PeriEven as many American workers return to the office, more employers than ever before have committed to long-term work-from-home opportunities. What this means for many people is that their homes continue to serve multiple purposes – and they want to feel happy and creative there in order to be productive at their jobs and to be successful partners, parents, and roommates.

Lavender Very Peri Pantone Rugs and CarpetsHome renovation continues to be an extremely busy industry all year-round. When it comes to using a courageous color like Very Peri in home décor that includes vintage rugs, Esmaili Rugs has so many dynamic ideas! Whether you choose to use Very Peri as an accent color or as the paint color for an entire room, consider crafting a color palette that you’ll use as you add items to your space.

Periwinkle pastel oushak rugs very periMany of our vintage rugs include colors that complement Very Peri well, whether you choose to go with a cool neutral collection of shades or a bolder, more whimsical palette. Vintage rugs can be anything you can imaging when it comes to colors, textures, sizes and shapes. Always in style and ever classic, using a vintage rug in your home décor that highlights Very Peri (whether in the home side or office area) is a wonderful choice. If you’d like us to help you choose a rug based on a specific color palette, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our gallery.

Vintage & Antique Rugs Made From Sustainable Materials- and Stay Out of Landfills

Natural-fiber rugs are constructed into intricate designs, are tightly woven, and exist in a vast array of hues. While the word “natural” can evoke thoughts of organic and undyed wool, eco-safe rugs have been dyed with vegetable dyes for hundreds of years. You’ll have a wide selection of designs to choose from, including soothing natural scenes, complex geometric designs, delicate floral designs, and simple patterns like herringbone and chevron.

List of Sustainable Natural Materials

  • Wool
  • Cotton
  • Hemp
  • Camel Hair
  • Goat Hair
  • Silk

Esmaili Rugs is a Great Resource for Eco Conscious Consumers to Buy Antique & Vintage Rugs

In your quest to reduce your home’s ecological footprint, look beneath your feet. Rugs that are harmful to the environment are potentially harmful to your immediate health as well. Polyester fibers leach microplastics into the water supply each time they’re scrubbed. What’s worse is that they release microplastics into the air just existing in your home. Furthermore, many rugs contain concerning ingredients in their dyes, adhesives, and synthetic flame retardants. Our selection of natural rugs contains none of these.

Vegetable Dyed Rugs Sustainable Design Dallas Eco-FriendlyAntique, heirloom, and new natural-fiber rugs are biodegradable, unlike polypropylene rugs. Wool is naturally flame-resistant, generates no static, resists odors, and can be cleaned a nearly infinite number of times. Natural-fiber rugs are therefore essential in your green, sustainable home. Hand-knotted carpets can also last generations while synthetic rugs generally last less than three years.

Benefit the Earth by Purchasing Vintage Rugs & Antique Carpets

Hand-woven rugs are sustainable art that has been bringing income into rural communities for centuries. Families who create rugs earn a robust wage in a manner that harms neither the artisans themselves, nor the environment around them. Sheep grow wool year-round, plants continue to grow, and the children of artisan families can keep their heritage alive as they carry on the family’s business.

Compared to other forms of fine art, few of which are useful in any practical sense, woven rugs are surprisingly affordable. Thanks to their durability, they hold their value after decades of use. Still, the luxurious beauty they bring to any home’s interior is incomparable. Sustainable living is more than a trend; it’s the way forward if we want to be the best stewards of our beautiful planet. Contact Esmaili Rugs today to begin the search for the perfect rug for your eco-smart home’s interior.

Traditional Rugs Create a Classic Look in Unexpected Places

Oriental rugs are a stalwart of the living room, study and den. It's a look I love, (heck, my own living room has one!), but in less likely environs, the rugs are equally if not more compelling. Consider throwing a rich rug of reds and blues down in the kitchen, bedroom, even the bathroom, for a classic look in an unexpected setting. I'm using the phrase "oriental rug" in the broadest sense of the term, including Persian rugs (made in Iran), kilims and other tribal varieties. Oriental rugs are godsends for heavily trafficked areas; the rich colors and intricate patterns make them great at hiding stains. Use two around the island in a kitchen...or go for one long Persian runner in a narrow galley kitchen. The colors in the rug's pattern are a great jumping off point for accessorizing a room.

Why Interior Designers Love Styling with Vintage Rugs

 

We believe no decorating element is more perennial and yet entirely on-trend than the hand-woven vintage rug. Interior designers love styling with vintage rugs because they are versatile, durable, and can serve to either anchor or elevate a room’s décor.

Versatility

Vintage rugs are incredibly versatile. Due to their history, which spans thousands of years, vintage woven rugs integrate seamlessly with nearly any design style.

In a room that has been styled with vibrant colors or patterns, a rug with a neutral base and small flecks of color works beautifully.

If your current color scheme is monochromatic, or awash in subdued neutral tones, consider a richly hued rug to add dimension and luxury. To intensify this effect, add throw pillows, a lamp, unique décor, or artwork that will enhance your favorite colors within your vintage rug.

Durability

Some of our clients have expressed worry that their vintage rug will be stained, worn, or damaged due to their children, pets, dinner guests, or just everyday wear and tear. We assure you there’s no need to be overly precious around your gorgeous new rug, though; vintage rugs last nearly forever.

In fact, vintage rugs will outlast today’s factory-made rugs by another hundred years. Just like so many modern goods, “they just don’t make them like they used to.” Handmade rugs become more valuable over time, even when they are subjected to the full intensity of our daily lives.

Clean your rugs gently, protect them from harsh sunlight, and rotate them twice a year, and they’ll continue to patina beautifully as time adds to their unique appeal.

Anchoring and Elevating Your Space

Nothing makes a house a home like a unique, hand-woven vintage rug. Whether you’re searching for a rug to elevate a space that feels drab or wish to incorporate a rug to cohesively anchor a room in which a color story feels incomplete, we will help you find the one that’s perfect for you.

Rugs for Small SpacesIn small spaces, it can be a challenge to create a balance between delineating zones and preserving as much of an open, airy feel as possible. Recently, as we have been adding some truly gorgeous smaller rugs to our collection, we’ve been inspired to share our best tips regarding how to decorate a small home or apartment using oriental rugs. For everyone embracing living in smaller spaces, including apartments, tiny houses, and small open-concept minimalist lofts—today’s recommendations are for you!

Geometric Rugs | Use Pattern to Your Advantage

When you think about delineating between two spaces within your home or apartment, you may jump to color first. It can be easy to add rugs in contrasting colors to create zones but staying within your established color scheme may help create this desired contrast while preserving the feeling of an open space.

Define Your Space with Oversized Rugs

using oversized area rugs to separate a roomIf you are separating the living room from your nearby dining or kitchen area, consider choosing a piece similar to this oversized area rug. By laying a rug that occupies nearly the entirety of your living room, it will instantly feel like a distinct, pulled-together zone

Distressed Rugs | Be Bold and Intentional

Distressed Rugs Bold Pattern Warm StyleIn an apartment or loft that’s industrial or urban, a richly-patterned rug with depth and texture provides a feeling of warmth and a sense of intentionally making this space your own. With the bold pattern and time-softened colors combined with just the right amount of age wear, our Distressed Rug Collection is poised to impress. Kelly Wearstler used several vintage Turkish rugs from our Sivas Rug Collection to furnish many of the Proper Hotels.

 

Get Creative- Diagonal Rug Placement

You may choose to use larger rugs to create zones, as we discussed above, but in this kind of space, may we suggest one from our Gallery Rug Collection? Place it at an angle to the walls, then place a statement chair on it at that same angle. Add your current read (the thicker the better), a lamp, and a plant on staggered drum or log side tables, and you have an arresting and inviting space in which to spend your weekday evenings.

 

Hang a Rug as Art

Wall Hanging Oriental Rug Tapestry DecorReal talk: anyone with a puppy, kitten, or young children may be feeling anxious at the thought of laying down a precious antique rug. Never fear! You can choose to hang a rug as a bold piece of statement art. Consider a piece like this Chinese pictorial rug or this peaceful, silk Chinese tapestry . Rugs from the Chinese Art Deco period, especially pictorial rugs, are ideal as wall hangings.

Esmaili Rugs specializes in curating unique, hand-made antique and vintage rugs from around the world. For further assistance choosing the perfect piece for your small space, please contact us.
