Types of rug making

In the realm of interior design, the choice of rugs can significantly impact a space's overall ambience and appeal. Rugs play a pivotal role in tying a room together, adding warmth, comfort, and style.  

To find the perfect solution to complement a space, it is essential to understand the properties and differences of the various rug types available. From hand knotted, to hand woven and tufted, at Kvadrat, we offer a curated selection of rugs.

Hand knotted rugs

Hand knotted rugs are characterised by exceptional craftsmanship. The intricate process of hand-knotting ensures unmatched durability and longevity. Each hand knotted Kvadrat rug is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans who tie individual knots to create intricate patterns and designs. Hand knotted rugs often feature unique variations and imperfections, adding character and exclusivity to commercial spaces, be it boutique hotels, corporate offices, or upscale retail establishments.

 

 

Hand woven rugs

Weaving rugs encompass a wide range of designs, from plain to intricate patterns, all created using traditional weaving techniques. Weaving combines two different yarn systems: warp and weft. The warp yarns run lengthways, and the weft yarns run widthways.  All Kvadrat woven rugs are made by hand. Weaving rugs offer endless possibilities in terms of texture, colour, and pattern, allowing for truly customizable creations to suit any decor aesthetic and beautifully complement the interior style.

Tufted rugs

Offering more versatile design options and a luxurious underfoot feel, tufted rugs are crafted using a different technique. Instead of individually knotting the fibres by hand, Kvadrat tufted rugs are created either by machine or by hand. For hand tufting, a tufting gun is used to create all manner of patterns and shapes. Machine tufting is restricted to straight-line patterns but enables the use of all types of yarn. Either way, tufted rugs are created by punching yarn through a backing material. With a diverse array of patterns, colours, and textures available, tufted rugs offer businesses the flexibility to tailor their interior design to suit specific branding requirements and aesthetic preferences.

When it comes to choosing the perfect rug for an office, a hospitality or a residential space, as well as the aesthetic appeal, considering the craftsmanship, quality and durability is crucial. Whether opting for timeless elegance, versatility or comfort, each type of rug brings its unique charm and character to a space.
