Choosing the Right Russian Rug
There are various things to consider to ensure your Russian rug complements your space, style, and preferences. For instance, your carpet must harmonize with your room’s color scheme, taking into account the walls, furniture, and other decor elements. Choose whether you want your luxury rug to be the focal point or a complementary accent.
Measure the available space where you’ll place your bespoke rug. Remember that larger pieces visually expand the area, while smaller ones can create sections and define specific parts of the room. Ensure the dimensions are well-proportioned to one another.
Consider also the room’s function and expected traffic flow. This will help determine the kind of modern rug you’ll get. For example, durable and stain-resistant carpets are more suitable for busy living rooms, while one made of silk could add elegance to a formal dining area.
Russian Area Rug: Care and Maintenance
Preserve your Russian area rug’s beauty and longevity with these care and maintenance tips.
Remove loose dirt and debris by using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Avoid using a beater bar, as it can potentially cause damage to your luxury rug’s delicate fibers.
Keep your carpet in its best shape by rotating it periodically. Doing so evens out wear by distributing foot traffic. You should also place your bespoke rug in areas where it doesn’t get prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as it can cause its colors to fade over time. If it is unavoidable, you can use window treatments for added protection.
If you’re unsure about proper techniques or encounter a specific issue with your designer rug, consult professional rug experts at Cyrus Artisan Rugs. Our team can provide guidance and recommendations for maintaining your carpet.
