Types of wool rugs: which suits you?
A wool rug is not only wonderfully warm under your feet, it also brings a real boost of atmosphere to your home. But which type of wool rug suits you best? Low-pile, high-pile or perhaps a hand-knotted version? We're happy to explain the different types of wool rugs so you'll soon know which wool rug will become your new favourite for the coming season!
How thick should a wool rug be?
A wool rug should ideally be 10 to 20 millimetres thick. This thickness offers comfort, insulation and a pleasant appearance. High-pile wool rugs feel extra soft and work well in a warm, atmospheric space such as the living room or bedroom. Low-pile or flat-woven rugs are ideal for places where furniture slides or where there's a lot of foot traffic, such as the hallway or dining area.
Short but powerful: the low-pile wool rug
Do you love clean lines, simplicity and hassle-free living? Then a low-pile wool rug like the Giselle collection is perfect for you! The short fibres make this rug ideal for busy spaces where you don't want to vacuum constantly. No loose fibres, no caught hairs, just a effortlessly stylish rug that gives your interior a modern boost. This rug is the perfect choice for anyone who loves practicality and elegance. Sleek and chic, without fuss. The Feline collection is not without reason a bestseller among our wool rugs and fits in almost every interior!
Soft as a cloud: the high-pile wool rug
Are you the type who loves sitting on the floor with a book and a cup of tea? Then a high-pile wool rug is your new best friend! With its high pile, this rug feels super soft and cosy. Ideal for the bedroom or a cosy corner in the living room. The Aicha collection is truly a top choice among high-pile wool rugs and looks beautiful in almost any interior. The only thing to keep in mind is that a high-pile rug requires a bit more care, but that's a small price for so much comfort! Step on this rug and you're instantly in a state of ultimate relaxation.
A wool rug with character: hand-knotted and special
A hand-knotted wool rug is not only stylish, but also a sustainable choice. Made by hand and full of character, each rug is unique and radiates craftsmanship. Thanks to its sturdy structure, it's hard-wearing and stays beautiful even with daily use. The natural materials and earthy tones create a calming appearance that fits into any interior. The Wise collection is a great example of this! Each piece is hand-woven, giving it an authentic look. Moreover, a wool rug retains heat and dampens sound, providing extra comfort. A hand-knotted wool rug is therefore a smart and timeless investment for your home.
Playful and stylish: wool rugs with bobble texture
Looking for a rug with a playful twist? A wool rug with a bobble texture is really something for you! Those little round bobbles not only give a super fun, unique texture, but also feel wonderfully soft. Perfect for a modern or Scandinavian interior where it adds just that subtle accent without dominating the space. Our Luminous collection features hand-made wool rugs with this cool bobble texture – ideal if you love comfort and style. And bonus: your feet get a nice massage as you walk across it!
Weaving party on the floor: wool with a twist
If you love natural materials with a relaxed, rustic appearance, a woven wool rug is exactly what you're looking for. The fine weaving technique gives the rug a sturdy structure and a timeless look, ideal for a bohemian or country interior. This versatile rug can be a beautiful focal point in almost any room. A perfect example is our Knit Collection. This consists of soft woven wool rugs with a check pattern and feel wonderfully soft on the feet!
So, which type of wool rug will you be putting on your floor?
