Warm and cosy under our feet

It is time to think about adding more warmth and cosyness in our homes. Carpets and rugs are a simple way to achieve this while changing the whole atmosphere in the room.

 Some beautiful new products -  Highlands collection above by  warpandweft.com is made using a silktweeding technique, which interweaves Indian mulberry silk with unbleached Himalayan wool and. below: 

Mexican designer Liliana Ovalle's abstract pattern La Lomita carpet for Nodus Rug is in wool and silk and is made in Nepal using handcrafted methods.

Paola Lenti - Spin

Cords, braids, knitted tubular fabrics, conceived by Paola Lenti and produced exclusively for the Brand, are loom woven, hand tufted or simply sewn, to create rugs and mats which are unique for their aesthetics, chromatic effect and functionality.

But, if you want something exotic and follow the very popular trend for hand-made designs and also the new love for felt, you may buy a shyrdak felt rug  - a type of felt invented by nomadic tribes 2,500 years ago to insulate and decorate yurts. They are usually hand-made in Central Asia, especially in Kyrgyzstan.
