Oriental carpets and rugs

Eastern rugs: old-fashioned or trendy?

An oriental carpet, isn’t that something from the past? Oriental rugs do indeed go back a long time and have a long history. But that certainly does not mean that oriental rugs are old-fashioned. Ever heard of “vintage“?

An oriental rug has actually been considered super hip and trendy in recent years. Rugs have also changed a bit in recent decades. The original oriental rugs are handmade and heavy, usually with a somewhat dark colour pattern. Think Persian rugs or Kilims. Oriental is the umbrella name for rugs from the Middle East and Asia, such as Berber and Kilim rugs. A Persian rug, on the other hand, comes specifically from Iran. Oriental rugs are made of natural materials such as wool, silk or cotton.

At Robin’s Rugs, we sell oriental rugs based on the original ones but with a modern twist. The colours are lighter, and the rugs are a lot less bulky and heavy. So you can move them around a lot easier. Instead, if you want your oriental rug to stay firmly on the floor, order an anti slip underlay for a small price.

Persian rugs and Kilims, what’s the difference?

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a Persian rug and a Kilim? At Robin’s Rugs, we have the answers! Let us take you on a journey through the fascinating world of oriental rugs, where each rug tells its own story.

Persian rugs, steeped in history and elegance, are known for their beautiful colours and intricate, beautiful patterns. But what makes a Kilim different? These rugs are known for their artisanal craftsmanship, woven with care and skill.

So, are you ready to learn more about these two iconic rugs? Hand-woven or knotted, or something else? Take a look at our collection and find out which oriental rug best suits your interior and taste!

An oriental rug can be rectangular or round

Oriental rugs are not all the same. There is plenty of choice. There are different oriental colours, different patterns, but also different shapes and sizes. Thus, you can buy not only rectangular oriental rugs, but also a round ones. In our large selection of oriental rugs you will always find something that suits your taste and your interior.

Round rugs have the ability to break up the straight lines of a room in a natural way. This makes the room feel a bit more balanced. A round rug can look great under the dining room table, or in the sitting area. Moreover, you can also easily combine round rugs with rectangular ones to create a playful and exciting effect.

You can also get an oriental rug in the form of an elongated runner. Perfect for a hallway. Of course, a hand-knotted oriental rug can also be perfectly placed in the bedroom. You might not have thought about that at all, but apart from the fact that a rug in your bedroom is nice and warm on your cold feet, an oriental rug also creates a very nice and calm atmosphere.
