Going Green with a Hand Knotted Rug

ByBunyaad

For many, going green means recycling, composting and mass transit. Now, hand knotted rugs want to declare themselves among that list.

Gabby loves to crawl on the rug. It's soft and warm.
Gabby loves to crawl on the rug made with good, old-fashioned, 100% natural wool.

Five quick reasons why hand knotted rugs can help you go green:

1. Buying a quality hand knotted carpet means it’s lasting you for generations. Literally. No filling the landfill with cheap throw-aways that never clean up nicely and show wear and tear in two seconds.

2. When your floors are warm, the house feels warmer. More rugs, less heat. Wouldn’t you rather buy a gorgeous hand knotted rug than pay for large heating bills?

Rugs fit in car

3. No need for caustic cleaners…just simple soap and water! Cleaning a Bunyaad rug is that simple.

4. Bunyaad rugs are made with good, old-fashioned, 100% natural wool. Not a petroleum product but rather a product of happy sheep grazing in the great outdoors, getting their hair cut once a year, usually in April.

5. These rugs can’t fly but they do move from house to house with you, allowing you to truly enjoy them for years on end.

    Modern Chic Meets Timeless Classics

    ByBunyaad

    Rugs at Parade of Homes

    When designing our homes we want the overall effect to be a pleasing whole. The wallpaper shouldn’t fight with the sofa fabric, the styles of furniture shouldn’t compete with each other. You put time, energy and money into creating an authentic space that will be lived in by real people. YOU and your family!

    Modern chic is relatively timeless as the basic design elements change only minimally and translate across decades. This is were Bunyaad rugs come in and add a timeless beauty and individuality that make your home personal and a most comfortable place to live in.

    A Quilt and a Kazak Living in Perfect Harmony

    ByBunyaad

    Quilt
    When I walked into the home of Gill and Dave my eyes went straight to the quilt on the wall in the living room. I love symmetry and vibrant, yet harmonious color combinations and this quilt was a perfect example showcasing both. What made the quilt stand out even more though was the Tribal Kazak sitting almost underneath as part of a cozy sitting area.

    As an artist, Gill is drawn to handmade, finely crafted products. Even before moving to the US many years ago she had discovered Bunyaad Rugs online and searched our extensive inventory for the perfect rug for her new home. She appreciates how much care is put into each rug and delights in exploring design details and how they will work with her furniture pieces and other art work.

    Bunyaad Rugs at Landmark Homes

    Sometimes we wish we could tag along with our customers when they take different rugs home on approval to see which rug fits and looks the best. How do you decide which style you like or if the 8×10 fits better than the 6×9 size rug?

    A new community of homes build by Landmark Homes in our neighborhood in Ephrata graciously let us bring in a truck load of rugs so we could experiment ourselves. Here is our first look at rugs in the living room. We wanted to show you how the same room gets transformed by simply changing the style of rug.

    Bunyaad 9x12 Chobi rug at Landmark Homes

    This is a question we hear all the time. You’ve probably tried to figure out how large a rug you should consider, I know I did the first time I started looking at rugs for my home.

    Hand-knotted rugs come in quite a variety of sizes and so it can be daunting to know exactly what size rug to choose for the different rooms in our home. Let’s talk about living rooms to get us started. Future posts will look into kitchens, dining rooms and bedrooms.

    We had the opportunity to stage rugs in a Landmark Custom Home. Take a look at the different types and sizes of rugs that we used in the same living room to show you the many varied options you have when selecting a rug for your living room.

    What to choose? Intricate patterns or simple lines?

    ByBunyaad

    Patterns on rug, fabric

    Imagine this scenario: You come into the Rug Room looking for a plain colored rug. Why?

    Well, your couch has a pattern, your love seat has a slightly different pattern, the armchair is in a contrasting color and the wallpaper and curtains all bring their own unique challenges to the design table. Too many patterns you think. The only solution to this seems to be a plain colored rug with as little pattern as possible.

    In the Rug Room we see this scenario many times and help our customers combine the patterns in their home with a Bunyaad rug that also offers a variety of colors and patterns. Let us show you how.
