There are so many different styles of rugs to choose from in terms of weave and material type! Today, we're going to teach you about Moroccan Kilim rugs, which are a beautiful, thinly woven style that is ideal for so many areas in your home. Continue reading to find out why!
What Is a Moroccan Kilim Rug?
Moroccan Kilim rugs are woven flat with no pile, which means they lack the longer fibers found on the surface of rugs that give them a plush, cushy feel. But that doesn't mean they're not comfortable walking on! Flatweaves are made from a variety of material types, which give them a wonderful feeling while also providing a lot of durability and beautiful pattern and color options.
What Else Should I Know About Moroccan Kilim Rugs?
They are available in a variety of styles! Moroccan Kilim rugs come in a variety of colors, patterns, and styles due to their diverse material makeup and unique flat weave. There's a flatweave rug for every decorator, from neutrals to brights and modern to traditional Berber rug styles!
Use a rug pad to add cushion and prevent slippage. As previously stated, flatweaves are thinner than pile rugs. Add a rug pad underneath your Kilim rug to make it feel plusher. This will also help keep the rug securely in place, which is essential for any area rug in a high-traffic area.
They're fantastic for layering. If you've been around here long enough, you'll know we love layering rugs (read more about it here!). To add a beautifully unique texture to your space, use a Kilim area rug as the base or top layer.
You're likely to save money! Moroccan Kilim rugs can be less expensive than shag rugs, depending on the material used. So, if you're on a tight budget and want to roll out a large Moroccan rug, try a flatweave to save money while still going big on style!
