I recently tried to order a certain flat-weave rug for a client, but it was totally sold out everywhere I looked. Now this rug was no Hermès bag, but I can not say I was surprised. Flat-weave rugs have turned into a must-have item in home decoration. They dominated showrooms and display racks at the High Point Market in spring 2013, and I’ve seen new models prepared to go for house decoration autumn lines.
What is the allure? They are comparatively affordable, come from the boldest patterns and colors, are easy to keep and are a blessing for allergy sufferers. Additionally, since they’re so flat — with zero heap to deal with — they could slide into any distance.

Where Flat-Weave Rugs Work
The oversize rug in this photo has two trendy factors: it is a flat-weave, and it’s in a houndstooth pattern — a really popular pattern this season. The rug sits beneath all the vital furniture pieces, which makes the space feel more attached.
Tip: You can get away with many fun colors, textures and patterns in a nursery. Your child will be endlessly stimulated. Soft and colorful rugs similar to this also allow for a milder play zone when your child needs tummy time or simply wants to roll round.

Though not as delicate as a wool rug, a flat-weave is often utilized in nurseries and playrooms because toys and furniture can slide easily across. The low pile also means it hangs on to dander and dust, which makes it a fantastic match for children with allergies.
Hint: Wiping a spill is a lot simpler using a flat-weave rug, which any parent could appreciate. Try using baby wipes; little flat-weave rugs also are often machine washable. Huge rugs can be placed out on a patio wall and cleaned with soap and water.

Flat-weave rugs work wonderfully in dining rooms. It is hard to slide dining seats in and out once the rug has a high heap. Flat-weave rugs have definitely carved out a niche market, making certain that having a seat at the dinner table is no longer a tug-of-war game using a thick rug.
Hint: Do not feel like you have to opt for a rug in the same shape as your table.A rectangular rug functions just too under a round table since it does beneath a square or rectangular table.

Locating the ideal Price
I’ve scored 5- by 8-foot rugs at local retailers for as low as $79. You can find 8-by-10 rugs online for around $300.
Hint: a number of those best-priced rugs may be found online, but also means you won’t have a chance to see the rug before it arrives on your doorstep. Always double check return policies and examine client reviews carefully.

Selecting a Style
These carpets are also known for their amazing patterns. Their bold imprints turn the ground to some focal point, forcing you to look down.
Hint: When choosing a pattern, think about the style of your area. For classic or nautical-inspired rooms, a striped flat-weave rug works nicely. For a bold pop in your dining or living space, add a geometric print in a contrasting colour scheme to produce a powerful statement.

If you are cautious of chevron- or – Moroccan-print rugs, a classic striped flat-weave may be exactly what you need. The eclectic feel of this room is solidified with the inclusion of this rug.
Hint: even though it would be a bit more costly, think about a large rug, including an 8-by-10 or 9-by-11, for a large area. If you have clearly piled seating, then save money using two 5-by-8 rugs to define the spaces.

Stripes work here too, in this nautical space with a more modern chic texture.
Hint: Flat-weave rugs function good in bedrooms, but remember you don’t need as sturdy a fabric as you want in longer hard-wearing spaces. Try choosing something softer, like wool, to keep your toes warm in the morning.

A bold print, like this black and white wave, lends a modern feel to a very conventional room that’s laden with wood paneling.
