How To Use Turkish Rugs

Turkish rugs are either woven or knotted, with a great deal of them still made by hand in some regions of Turkey

. The way that you use these rugs depends on the type that it is, the way it is made and the design that it features. These rugs can be used as floor coverings and furniture coverings as well as wall coverings. While these beautiful masterpieces are typically made in factories, the artwork that comprises these Turkish rugs has been handed down in Turkey from generation to generation

Using Turkish rugs as floor coverings - Many of the Turkish rugs that you will see will be woven and will have a geometrical pattern. You should not expect the intricacies that you will see in Oriental carpeting nor the artwork that is common in Persian carpeting. Turkish rugs are made from wool or silk or usually a combination of both and they tend to be thinner than the thick, Oriental carpeting.

First, as a floor covering. Turkish rugs have an assortment of designs that will enhance any kind of flooring. Even when mixed with carpeting, the colors will bring a festive mood and will make the room look more cheerful. They are complements for a neutral or dark-toned room.

Furniture Covering - A Turkish rug will make a good covering because of its thick yet light fabric. Utilizing it as a chair pad, cushion or simply a drape over a furniture such as a big chair, dresser and sofa will create dramatic results. As a chair pad, if you won't feel bad cutting some piece of the rug, cut a portion and glue the slice of material on the chair's seat with a strong glue or staple gun.

Using Turkish rugs as furniture coverings- Because they have a thick consistency but are still easy to work with, you can use Turkish rugs as furniture coverings in your home. This is one of the easiest ways to cover furniture or make pads for a chair. If you have older Turkish rugs that you are not sure what to do with, you can cut them and make chair pads that can be glued onto any chair. You can also use Turkish rugs to cover furniture such as tables or dresser tops. You can use glue to affix the rug to the furniture or a staple gun.
