Do you have a colorful interior or are you looking to create one? Then Koreman Exclusive Carpets has some practical tips for you if you want to incorporate a hand-knotted Oriental rug into this interior.
There are several aspects you can consider when choosing a rug. Whether you have a colorful bohemian interior, a modern colorful interior, or for example, a colorful rural interior, the tips below apply to all styles.
5 tips for a rug in a colorful interior
- Color Scheme – Start by determining a color scheme for the interior. Choose a few basic colors that go well together and reflect the desired atmosphere and style. The rug can either contain one of these basic colors or form a colorful accent that complements the rest of the interior.
-
Balance – Ensure balance in the colorful interior. If the rug is already strikingly colorful, it can help to keep the other elements in the room a bit calmer. Consider neutral tones for the walls, furniture, and curtains, so that the rug remains the focal point without the overall look becoming too busy.
- Pattern and texture – In addition to color, the pattern and texture of the rug can contribute to a colorful interior. Consider a rug with lively patterns and textures that harmonize with the rest of the decor.
Mix different patterns and textures, but make sure they complement each other and don't clash. Do you prefer a colorful high-pile, low-pile, or flatweave rug, or would you prefer a neutral rug?
A grey rug might be the best option for you if your interior is colorful. Grey is the most neutral color in the color spectrum. It is the color against which all other colors look their best (not white or black, as many people think).
4. Dimensions – Pay attention to the size and shape of the rug in relation to the space in which it is placed. Make sure the rug is not too small, otherwise it can get lost in the room. On the other hand, it should not be too large, as it can then become overwhelming. Consider the proportions and available space when choosing the right size rug.
Koreman has rugs in various sizes. It is also possible to have a custom-made rug designed and produced. Ask about the possibilities.
5. Personal preference – Most importantly, the rug should match your personal preference and taste. A hand-knotted Oriental carpet from Koreman should be an exclusive enrichment for your interior and therefore evoke a feeling of joy and comfort. Therefore, choose colors that you feel comfortable with and that inspire you. Otherwise, you might regret your purchase, and that is something you should avoid.
Naturally colored rug
Koreman's hand-knotted rugs are 100% natural. The yarns of the rugs are colored with natural and vegetable dyes. Coloring rugs in traditional knotting countries like India and Iran is a craft. No machines are involved, and chemical substances are absolutely out of the question. In short, the coloring process is not harmful to people, animals, or the environment.

Colors can fade due to sunlight. This is not the case for the colors of a 100% natural rug from Koreman Maastricht. The natural pigments have the property of retaining their color intensity, so the rug still looks new after years.
A colorful interior should also be cozy
Do you want a colorful interior or a colorful rug? Whatever your choice, a rug ensures that your furniture is harmoniously connected. A rug creates atmosphere, coziness, and warmth. In a colorful interior, it should be pleasant to be there. If the colors overwhelm you, it causes restlessness. Pay attention to that.
Warm colors like yellow, orange, and red are vibrant and energetic. Cool colors like green and blue are subdued and provide more calm.
