Thin rug: all the advantages at a glance!
Why are we big fans of thin rugs? A thin rug never lets you down and is there for you through thick and thin! Due to the weaving technique, where threads are laid into each other, thin rugs are incredibly strong and hard-wearing. There's no getting between them! The advantages of thin rugs are endless. Read here why you need a thin rug!
Thin rug: there's nothing complicated about it!
The thickness of a rug is linked to the production technique. With thin rugs, this usually means a flat-woven rug. Unlike a knotted rug, a flat rug is made using an age-old weaving technique where yarn is woven at right angles to each other. This creates a smooth and even surface. Not only does maintenance become much easier as a result, but thin rugs are also light and easy to roll up. Flat rugs are therefore perfect for anyone whose interior has something of a fleeting nature. You can easily move a thin rug around, so endless variation is no problem at all!
Thin rugs: light and airy!
One of the many advantages of a rug is that it has an insulating effect. Especially in winter, that's a nice thing. In summer, that extra warmth might be less pleasant. Where a heavy rug in winter is desirable, it is less welcome in summer. The perfect rug for the whole year round is a flat-woven rug. A viscose or cotton rug is an example of a flat-woven rug. These are breathable fabrics that so to speak do not hold unnecessary heat. In cold weather wonderfully warm and in warm weather cooling and airy.
Flat rug, but really flat
Just when you thought we were done talking about the advantages of flat rugs, we have a whole list for you! Because the fibres of a flat woven rug are so strong, they offer the rug tremendous stability. This means the corners don't curl up and a flat rug retains its original shape, which is not the case with all natural products. Just as Mother Nature goes her own way – something about four different seasons in one day – most natural materials do the same. Think about your wool jumper that you've washed a bit too hot, it can immediately pass as a doll's dress. With a flat rug you won't soon have problems with dents or a worn rug. So feel free to place flat rugs in areas of your home where there is a lot of foot traffic.
Flat rugs: flat and lint-free
You also don't have to worry about loose fibres with a flat rug. Because the yarn is woven tightly together, fewer loose fibres will come loose. An added benefit is that dust particles will therefore also not settle between the fibres, but rather stay on top. This makes it easy and quick to vacuum up dirt. This makes flat rugs child-, pet- and allergy-friendly.
Flat woven rug in all kinds of designs
A thin cotton rug is available in all imaginable designs. Cotton can be printed and dyed, which makes the possibilities for prints, colours and patterns endless. Whatever your home style or living requirements, there's always a suitable flat-woven rug for you. For example, go for a flat vintage design rug! The stonewashed effect gives these rugs that characteristic, faded look. As if the rug has a beautiful story and already holds many memories. The edgy appearance fits perfectly with an industrial or just classic style. Also if your interior is already busy enough and you're looking for a rug with a calming look, there's plenty of choice. With a wide range, you always have the option to choose a rug that is exactly the right addition to the space!
