There are so many important factors to consider when it comes to choosing the right rug for your space. Understanding the different aspects of fibre qualities, weaves, constructions, and pile heights is crucial.  

Whether you're looking for a washable, wool or natural fibre rug. Or not sure what pile length will work best for you. Our most commonly used rug term guide will help you identify what features you would like in your new rug! 

We want to make choosing your rug for your home as easy as possible. Here are some of our most commonly used rug terms. 

PILE:

Pile height in rugs refers to the length of the fibres from the surface of the rug to the backing. It is an important factor in determining the rug's texture, appearance, and suitability for different spaces. It can be short, medium, or long, affecting the rug's texture and feel. The pile height you choose depends on the level of comfort you desire, the location of the rug, and the amount of maintenance you're willing to undertake.

TRADITIONAL: 

Inspired by classic designs that are rich with decorative detail. Often featuring a bordered pattern and centre medallion detail. Traditional rugs are valued for their timeless beauty and craftsmanship, making them a popular choice for adding a classic and elegant touch to any space.

HAND-KNOTTED: 

Rugs that are hand-knotted by our skilled rug artisans. This is a traditional and labour-intensive process that results in a beautiful chunky woven rug. Hand-knotted rugs are highly prized for their beauty, craftsmanship, and durability, making them a popular choice for those looking to add a touch of luxury and tradition to their homes.

HIGH-LOW: 

A high-low pile has both pile lengths which adds extra texture and dimension to the design. This technique adds visual interest and a tactile experience to the rug. High-low rugs are popular for their unique texture and ability to add dimension and interest to a room, making them both functional and decorative elements in home decor.

WASHABLE: 

Easy-care fibres that can be easily spot-cleaned by hand, or popped in the washing machine for a deeper clean. Washable rugs are popular for high-traffic areas of the home such as hallways, entrance and living rooms. They're also a great choice for busy homes with kids or pets, or for those who just want the ease and convenience of being able to clean their rugs at home.

FLATWEAVE: 

A rug that is woven without a pile results in a smooth flatweave surface that has no tufted texture. Flatweave rugs are made by weaving the warp and weft threads together on a loom. Unlike pile rugs, which have cut or looped fibres standing up from the base, flatweave rugs have a smooth, flat surface. They are a great option for high-traffic areas, or for going underneath moving furniture such as dining tables and chairs. 

DISTRESSED: 

The design consists of a blend of shades and colour variations to mimic the over-dyed look of authentic vintage rugs. This look is intentionally created to add character, charm, and a sense of history to the rug. 

KID & PET-FRIENDLY: 

Rugs that are specially designed with busy-homes in mind. The fibres are constructed to have unique features that make them more durable and easier to clean.

LONGEVITY: Regular cleaning can help extend the life of the rug, making it a durable and practical choice for consumers who want their rugs to last.

ABOUT TUMBLWEAVE

There are so many reasons you'll love our TUMBLWEAVE rugs!

We've highlighted below some key features: 

Who doesn’t love spending quality time with their loved ones? Our homes are places where we can come together to relax, unwind, and share memories with the people who mean the most to us. Creating a comfortable environment where people can gather together is key to ensuring your guests (and yourself) have the best time possible! 

The Benefits:  

A rug is crucial when it comes to styling a space! A rug adds comfort and warmth, and is an extra layer of comfort underfoot. This makes entertaining spaces more inviting for guests to gather and socialise. In cooler months, rugs also provide insulation, keeping the floor warm and creating a cosy atmosphere! 

Rugs also anchor the design and aesthetic of a room and tie together various elements of the decor, such as furniture, wall colours, and accessories. Our rugs are available in a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures, allowing you to choose a rug that complements the style of your entertaining area and enhances its visual appeal.

Rugs help absorb sound, reducing echoes and minimising noise in entertaining areas. This can create a more comfortable environment for conversations and gatherings, allowing guests to enjoy each other's company without distractions from excessive noise.

They are also a wonderful protective barrier for the floor, helping to prevent scratches, dents, and other damage, especially in high-traffic areas. This is particularly beneficial if your entertaining space has hardwood or tile flooring that is susceptible to wear and tear. Overall, rugs enhance the functionality, comfort, and aesthetics of entertaining areas, creating inviting spaces where guests can relax, socialise, and enjoy memorable gatherings.

Rugs For Different Areas: 

The Dining Room

Our stain-resistant machine washable rugs are the perfect rug option for dining areas where spills and accidents can occur. Our full range of TUMBLRUG machine washable rugs features many different styles, fibres, weaves, colours and sizes. Our TUMBLWEAVE, flatweave machine washable rugs are a great option to explore. Being a flatweave, any spills or stains won’t get trapped in any fluffy long fibres. You’ll be able to easily wipe clean any accidents or machine wash your rug when needed. 

The Living Room 

The lounge and living room are usually areas where we congregate and spend lots of time. We believe our wool rugs are a great option for this space. Wool rugs are luxurious, and due to their natural qualities, their fibres are super insulating, so a great option for keeping your feet and space warm and cosy! Another great option for the living room is our TUMBLUXE machine washable rugs. Our TUMBLUXE rugs are our ALL-IN-ONE ultra fluffy and plush TUMBLRUG washable rugs. Due to their built-in non-slip backing, you don’t need to worry about adding an underlay underneath - what a win! Their fibres are also so soft, which makes them a wonderful treat under your feet! Being machine washable, any spills or messes that happen can easily be cleaned or washed away. 

The Kitchen 

Known as the heart of the home! Our TUMBLUXE or TUMBLWEAVE machine washable runner rugs are the perfect option for kitchens. Due to being a high-spill zone, machine washable fibres are an absolute must in the kitchen! Runners are perfect for filling narrow spaces in kitchens whilst also adding a splash of colour and pattern.

Red offers endless possibilities in design, from creating vibrant and lively spaces to infusing sophistication and passion. By choosing combinations and design elements in colors that go with red, you can create a striking and unique environment that reflects your style and personality.

Explore the use of red as a highlight in different rooms to create a visually captivating and personalised space.

The influence of red in design

When it comes to home decor, the colour red holds tremendous influence. The colour impacts our emotions and perceptions and is often associated with passion, love, and energy. By incorporating red into furniture or accessories, such as a rug or a decorative mirror, you can create a sense of warmth and excitement in any room.

For a vibrant and energetic space, consider combining red with complementary colours like greens or oranges. If you prefer a harmonious atmosphere, use analogous colour schemes (neighbouring colours on the colour wheel) with shades of red and pink. Red also works well with neutral colours such as beige or grey to provide focal points within a given area.

Depending on the shade of red you choose, you could evoke different emotions or moods.

Consider the overall style and atmosphere you want to create in your space. A brighter red could evoke playfulness, while a darker red could mean sophistication or intimacy, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different hues to find the ideal balance for your design.

💡KEY TAKEAWAY: Whether you choose to incorporate red as an accent or make it the focal point of your design, it has the ability to create a warm, vibrant, and stylish atmosphere.

Combining red with other hues

You could combine red with other hues to create a dynamic and visually captivating space that reflects your style and personality.

One way to do so is by pairing it with complementary colours. Colours that lie opposite red on the colour wheel, such as greens and oranges, create a striking contrast that gives red an extra vibrance. Accessories, artwork, or furniture in shades of green or orange can also amplify an energetic or lively mood. These colours create a bold and eye-catching aesthetic that leaves a lasting impression.

On the other hand, if you prefer a more harmonious and cohesive atmosphere, shades of pink and purple are analogous colors that go with red. By combining red with analogous shades or tones, you can achieve a sense of unity and flow in your design. For example, pairing a deep red with a soft blush pink can evoke romance or elegance in a bedroom or living room.

Finally, neutral colours provide a great backdrop for red elements in your design.

Colours like beige, grey, and white create a sense of balance, allowing the red accents to stand out without overwhelming the room’s aesthetics. Use neutral-toned walls or large furniture pieces as a backdrop for smaller accessories like pillows, rugs, or artwork. This ensures that the red elements are highlighted and make a statement while maintaining a balanced and cohesive overall design.

💡KEY TAKEAWAY: The right colour combinations can enhance the vibrancy of red and bring your design vision to life.

Attracting attention with red colour schemes

Combining eye-catching colors that go with red allows you to make a bold design statement that effectively reflects your unique style. With the right colour pairings, you can make a daring style choice that’s both dynamic and sophisticated.

Pairing red with warm-toned colours such as oranges, yellows, or earthy tones is one method to try. These colours create a harmonious and energetic atmosphere that complements red shades well.

For example, combining red with burnt orange or mustard yellow can imbue a warm and inviting mood. These warm-toned pairings can be easily incorporated into any space through accessories, accent furniture, or textiles.

Contrasting red with cool hues like blues, greens, or purples can also add an elegant and rich touch to your design, as these colours are visually striking when used together. Pairing a deep red with shades of navy blue or emerald green can invoke a luxurious and elegant atmosphere as well, adding depth and complexity to your design.

Last but not least, monochrome red colour schemes add a touch of modernity and drama to most design styles. Experiment with shades like scarlet, crimson, or burgundy to add depth and visual texture to any room.

💡KEY TAKEAWAY: Constructing an eye-catching red colour scheme involves carefully selecting colour combinations that either contrast or complement each other. Each approach allows you to create a visually captivating and unique design.

Utilising red to create mood or atmosphere

Encouraging energy in living spaces

By strategically integrating red features, you can transform your living areas, kitchen and dining areas, and private spaces.

Red highlights in common or living areas can give off a vibrant energy. Accent walls, furniture pieces, or artwork can serve as focal points and create a lively atmosphere, making your living room a place where you can feel energised and productive.

In dining areas, using red in table linens, dinnerware, or even dining chairs can evoke a sense of passion and create a warm and welcoming ambience. This is perfect for gathering with loved ones and enjoying delicious meals, as it invokes positive energy.

Finally, deeper red hues like burgundy or maroon can infuse sophistication or romance into private areas like bedrooms. You can add these reds to your decorative design through bedding, throw pillows, or curtains that add pops of colour throughout the room.

💡KEY TAKEAWAY: Utilising different shades of red as a highlight in different rooms allows you to infuse vibrancy, create lively environments, and implement a sense of passion.

Elevating design with red and decorative patterns

Different textures and motifs add depth and visual interest to your design. To make an area more interesting, try pairing red with patterns such as stripes, geometric shapes, or floral motifs to create a visually appealing contrast.

Textured fabrics like velvet or faux fur in red upholstery or throw pillows also add an extra tactile dimension to match the impact of your red colour scheme.

Metallic elements in your red-themed decor can also add a touch of class or modernity, depending on the finish. Decorative accessories like mirrors, lamps, or metallic-framed artwork utilise reflective surfaces to create visual interest and additional lighting, which can highlight or soften reds based on your aesthetic. Gold, silver, or bronze accents add a sense of richness to your design as well.

If you wish to use red sparingly but impactfully, attention-grabbing artwork or installation embellishments can serve as focal points for your red-themed decor. Choose artwork that features red as a prominent colour or complements the red accents. Sculptures, vases, or decorative objects in vibrant red can also add personality and depth to your design.

💡KEY TAKEAWAY: By combining various design elements, you can create a visually harmonious design that showcases a red-centred theme, while still adding depth and personality to your chosen space.
