More and more interior designers are choosing to incorporate a rug into an interior design. And that's remarkable, because there was a time when rugs weren't top of mind for many professionals. At Koreman Exclusive Carpets in Maastricht, we notice that times are changing and that more and more interior designers are choosing to include a high-quality rug in their interior designs.
In the past, a rug was – consciously or unconsciously – overlooked in interior design. A rug traditionally has not been a priority for designers. The emphasis is generally on large furniture pieces, lighting, and the color of
walls. A rug can be seen as a secondary element or a finishing touch. Of course, an aesthetic choice can determine whether or not a rug is included in a design. In a minimalist style, a perfectly finished wooden or marble floor is already sufficient, and a rug would disrupt the aesthetic.
In addition, there's the perception that rugs get dirty quickly and are difficult to clean, or that they attract dust and fade quickly. Fortunately, this is not true for Koreman's rugs, as they are 100% natural, can withstand a lot, and
retain their color and shape. Just read this article: A luxury rug is a durable rug.
A Koreman rug is not a dusty carpet
Koreman has an extensive collection of modern hand-knotted rugs. The fact that these rugs come from the Far East does not mean that they feature traditional motifs. On the contrary, many contemporary hand-knotted rugs from traditional
knotting countries such as India, Iran, and Pakistan fit perfectly into a contemporary modern interior in terms of design.
10 reasons to incorporate a Koreman rug into an interior design
- Quality: Hand-knotted rugs often equate to high quality and can last for many years. They are exceptionally hard-wearing. A Koreman rug sometimes has 400,000 or more knots per square meter.
- Natural materials: A 100% natural rug can contribute to a healthier indoor climate because it contains no harmful chemicals or synthetic materials. Each rug is dyed with natural pigments.
- Aesthetics: The natural fibers and colors of a hand-knotted rug can add warmth, texture, and depth to a space.
- Durability: Hand-knotted rugs made from natural fibers are often biodegradable and have less environmental impact compared to synthetic alternatives.
- Acoustics: Natural rugs have a positive effect on the sound in a room, making it a pleasant place to be.
- Comfort: Natural fibers often feel pleasant and soft underfoot, contributing to the comfort of the space. You can comfortably sit, lie, or walk barefoot on such a rug.
- Tradition: The use of hand-knotted rugs can express reverence for traditional craftsmanship and cultural traditions. No machines are involved, and the use of plastics and chemicals is not an option at all. You can read more about this in this blog.
- Versatility: Because hand-knotted rugs are available in various patterns, colors, and styles, they can be used in different interior designs, from modern to traditional.
- Value retention: Since hand-knotted rugs are often considered more valuable than their machine-made counterparts, they can be seen as an investment that retains or even increases in value.
- Commission: Koreman rewards interior designers with an attractive commission when a client purchases a Koreman rug.
I give the floor to…
Interior designer Boy Sleijpen from B1Original in Maastricht regularly does
business with Koreman to his full satisfaction. On his website, he dedicates some attention
to our collaboration. We are quite proud of and grateful for that.
No regrets
Since purchasing a rug is an investment you don't want to regret later, customers can view a rug on approval. If you, as an interior designer, propose a Koreman rug to your client, we would be happy to visit the client's location without obligation to showcase the rug. And to make it even more pleasant, we will also bring a few alternative rugs, naturally selected in consultation with the designer.
Design your own rug
It's possible at Koreman: design your own rug and have it made. We will translate your design, color, shape, and size into a high-quality rug. Everything is possible. The consequence, however, is that the delivery time will be a bit longer. If you are interested in a rug with your own design, Koreman has the knowledge and color samples to assist you.
Meet without obligation
Make an appointment with Raymond Koreman at the store in Maastricht. For some designers, it's not nearby, but the journey is more than worth it. You will be pleasantly surprised when you visit our store/showroom and hear about the possibilities and benefits. You can even become a reseller of our rugs.
Maastricht, by the way, is not a bad place to visit. It is a quintessential Burgundian city. By the way... we are right in the city center, a stone's throw from the Vrijthof. See you soon.
