ugs Deco mag 08 Walk on art Rugs can be works of art for the floor and offer an instant transformation Rooms and hallways without rugs feel rather bare and lacking in personality. And they never feel quite comfortable enough - even if the room has a good quality wall-to-wall carpet. So rugs really are a key piece when it comes to decorating and the good news is, of course, that there are lovely rugs made from sustainable fibres (it’s not just wool, think about jute, linen, silk, banana fibre, hemp, recycled yarn from clothing..) with prices to suit all budgets. If you’re a rug aficionado you’ll know who’s who and who it’s worth saving up for... Christine Van Der Hurd, Front Rugs, Deirdre Dyson, Tania Johnson, Jennifer Manners and Sonya Winner to name but a few. Luxury but more affordable are rugs from bluebellgray, Ella Doran, Designers Guild and Scandinavian brands Hay, Linie; and don’t forget that Spain is home to many wonderful rug brands such as Gan, nanimarquina, Dac Rugs, and Now Carpets, all of which sell in the UK. The carpet industry has been bedevilled by its use of child labour in the world’s main rug weaving countries of India and Nepal, and this practice unfortunately continues. So beware ominously cheap rugs and always look for the Goodweave mark, as Goodweave certification guarantees child labour has not been used in the manufacturing of a rug. Wool rugs are the most popular and if you give them anti-moth treatments from time to time they should last for a lifetime. Silk rugs are the most expensive and luxurious while hand-knotted rugs are far more costly than hand-tufted. But also look out for jute rugs which these days feel pretty soft to the touch and they’re very hardwearing. Habitat has a gorgeous new one - Leo in a subtle red and neutral pattern. The 300x200cm version is very good value at just £600. You’ll also find stylish modern jute rugs at nanimarquina and Gan.
