Handmade Area Rug: Choosing the Right Rug for Every Room

A rug isn’t just something you throw on the floor; it’s the heart of a room. The right rug can pull your space together, add warmth, comfort, and a touch of personal style. At Qaushey, we understand that every room has its own mood and purpose, and finding the perfect rug should be easy and fun. In this blog, we’re breaking down how to choose the right handmade area rug for every room in your home.

 

1. Living Room: Make It Warm and Inviting

Your living room is where everything happens – chilling with family, entertaining guests, or watching your favorite shows. You want a rug that feels cozy, defines your space, and brings character.

Go for a large handmade rug that covers the center of the room, ideally with your furniture partly placed on it. Earthy tones, geometric patterns, or textured handwoven rugs from QausheyHandlooms work beautifully here.

 

2. Bedroom: Soft and Calm Vibes

In the bedroom, comfort comes first. Look for soft textures and soothing colors. You can either place a large rug under the bed (leaving enough rug visible on all sides) or use two smaller rugs on each side.

Qaushey offers cozy, artisan-made rugs that instantly add warmth under your feet in the morning. Think natural dyes, soft cotton or wool textures, and calming prints.

3. Dining Room: Durable Yet Stylish

Dining rooms need rugs that can handle a bit of mess but still look great. Choose a rug that’s slightly larger than your dining table and chairs, so the whole set fits comfortably.

Flatweave or low-pile Indian textile rugs are a great option – easy to clean and hard-wearing. At Qaushey, our designs blend tradition and practicality with sustainable materials.

 

4. Kitchen: Small but Mighty

Yes, rugs in the kitchen are a thing! They add comfort underfoot and bring life to plain floors. Opt for a runner or small handmade rug near the sink or stove.

Our handwoven pieces are not just beautiful but also washable and durable, perfect for high-traffic areas like the kitchen. Choose bold patterns to add personality.

 

5. Entryway: First Impressions Count

Your entryway sets the tone for your home. A rug here should be tough enough to handle shoes, dust, and lots of footsteps. Pick something durable but stylish.

Qaushey’s flatweave rugs are perfect here – handmade, eye-catching, and made to last. Bonus: they’re super easy to shake out or clean.

 

6. Kids' Room or Study: Fun and Functional

In kids' spaces, rugs should be soft, safe, and full of color. Go for fun patterns, natural fibers, and medium-size rugs that are easy to move or wash.

Our playful yet timeless designs bring a cozy feel to study corners or play areas. And since they’re handmade with love, you know they’re crafted to last.

Tips to Remember While Choosing Rugs:

• Size matters: Always measure your space before buying.
• Think about use: High-traffic vs cozy corners.
• Match your mood: Soft tones for calm spaces, bold prints for fun corners.
• Care counts: Pick rugs that are easy to maintain for busy areas.
