Gold Area Rugs

Bring Elegance & Vibrance to Your Home with Gold Rugs

Adding an area rug can easily make a room look cohesive and organized. They can bring warmth and softness to your feet while complementing your floors, making your home more comfortable. Using gold area rugs, in particular, can do all of these while injecting a luxurious touch to your space.

The color gold can signify extravagance, illumination, and wealth. It is also associated with exceptional quality, hence the term “gold standard.” Using gold rugs as home decor can add elegance and brightness to any room.

Gold area rugs blend well with a variety of colors and can add sophistication to your home. Mixing it with white and cream tones can exude a traditional ambiance. On the other hand, one with grey and black accents can bring a more modern feel to your space.

Materials and Weaving Techniques

Various materials are used in crafting gold area rugs. They can be made from natural fibers like wool and silk or man-made fabric like viscose. Wool is most commonly used in rug making as it is very durable. Silk, on the other hand, is often combined with other materials to create a silky and robust finish. Meanwhile, viscose can imitate the look and feel of natural fibers.

Using a mix of traditional and modern techniques, skilled artisans transform these threads into stunning area rugs. Rugs can be hand-knotted, hand-loomed, or flatwoven. Hand-knotted rugs undergo an extensive process that uses a specialized loom, while hand-loomed rugs have their fibers pressed together and connected to thin threads. Flat-woven rugs tend to have a lower pile height because they are made without any knots at all.

Colors and Patterns of Gold Rugs

Gold is the color of refinement and opulence. When used in rugs, it demands attention as it is a very vibrant color.

Gold area rugs are often partnered with other hues to create a more dynamic aesthetic. You’ll come across black and gold rugs that make for exquisite finishes, white and gold rugs with a clean, understated look, or blue and gold rugs that make for great accent pieces.

Gold rugs also come in various styles. For example, traditional area rugs typically use flowers or borders, while contemporary rugs are more free-form and expressive. Transitional rugs merge modern and antique designs. On the other hand, tribal area rugs use bold and vivid colors for their patterns.

Caring for and Cleaning Gold Rugs

Prolong the lifespan of your gold area rugs by following these easy-to-follow tips:

• Avoid placing rugs on rough surfaces as these can cause bumps and lumps on your rugs.
• Direct sunlight may cause your rug’s colors and patterns to fade. We suggest placing it in cool, dry areas away from harsh sunlight. You may also use blinds and curtains to soften the natural light flooding into your home.
• Avoid putting potted plants on top of your rug. Moisture may seep through the rug’s fibers and cause mold and mildew to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gold Rugs




What rug pad size should I get for my gold area rug?

We recommend using rug pads to keep your rugs in place and avoid slips. Make sure to use a rug pad that’s smaller than your rug. This prevents the rug’s edges from peeking out, making your room look tidier.




How do I store my rug?

Where and how you store your rug depends on how long you plan to keep it stored. For short-term storage (a few weeks or so), you may wrap it in brown craft paper until it’s ready for use. For extended storage, you may use plastic with air vents that let moisture out. Remember to roll the rug from one fringe end to another, not based on its long sides.




How do I check the quality of my gold area rug?

To determine your rug’s quality, study its material, texture, and durability of the knots. Tighter weaves and higher knot counts per square inch translate to a long-lasting rug. Similarly, fibers with high lanolin content contribute to its overall resilience. A denser pile also means that your rug is made with quality in mind.
