Green has a calming effect when used as the primary color for your home decor, making it an excellent color for area rugs. Green area rugs help relieve stress by making people feel relaxed. The color green can also help with fertility, which makes using green area rugs an excellent choice for the bedroom.

Materials and Weaving Techniques

There are various ways green rugs are crafted; they can be hand-loomed, hand-tufted, or hand-knotted. In general, rugs that take a longer time to finish tend to have a longer lifespan because of the tedious amount of work involved. For example, hand-knotted rugs can take up to a year to make but can last for over 100 years.

Hand-loomed rugs are connected to thin threads and their fibers are pressed together. Meanwhile, the strands in hand-tufted rug are punched onto a canvas then stretched to a frame. Creating rugs by hand-knotting, on the other hand, is an intensive process that requires using a special loom. It is entirely done by hand, so you can count on incredible attention to detail.

Regardless of the process, the materials used are the same: natural fibers, wool, and silk that create a durable rug.

Frequently Asked Questions about Green Rugs

What rug pad size should I get for my green area rugs?

We suggest that the size of the rug pad is smaller than your rug so that it doesn’t peek out of the edges. This non-slip accessory can help keep your rug in place, especially when placed in high-traffic areas. Moreover, it provides an extra layer of cushioning and functions as a buffer between your carpet and the floor.

How do I prevent rug discoloration?

Sometimes, the dyes used in the thread fibers of your rug may fade. The “faded” look could be appealing, but too much discoloration could lower the value and quality of your rug. Natural aging of your rugs is unavoidable but you can prevent excessive fading by placing your rug in an area away from direct sunlight.

How do I determine the quality of a rug?

Determine rug quality by paying attention to material and durability. When it comes to assessing the material, keep in mind that a tighter weave and a higher count of knots per square inch is better. Next, determine the overall durability of the rug by checking for its lanolin content. More lanolin translates to a more durable rug. On a similar vein, rugs with dense piles are a good indicator of quality since they tend to last longer.

How are green rugs made?

Green area rugs can be hand-knotted, hand-loomed, or hand-tufted. Hand-knotted rugs are woven by hand on a special loom. On the other hand, rugs produced through hand-looming involve pressing the fibers together then connecting them with thin threads. Hand-tufted rugs, on the other hand, require the use of a hand-operated tool that punches the strands onto a canvas.
