On the Trend and Global Chic Fine Silk Ikat Rugs!
At Rugs and More we have a fabulous selection of Silk Ikat Rugs. These rugs have a wonderful global style from Indian, Asia to North African. These rugs have a common theme and that is their Vibrant colors and a diverse range of motifs and other elements. They are woven from reclaimed silk Saris.
This recent upsurge is due most certainly to the world-wide-web, (internet) which makes these more accessible. We carry a large selection for you to peruse at Rugs & More.
The blending of traditional Asian and Indian designs with their wonderful colors and motifs can give a classical look to contemporary homes. The trend is to incorporate one piece into the home rather than attempting to pull off an entire room dedicated to an Oriental theme… This can give your home well-traveled feel while not over stimulating the space. With these styles less is more…
It is best to use the Ikat rugs with more natural inspirations that evoke the beauty in woods grains, natural fibers and organic finishes. Gives an authentic feel because you tone the rug down while still making a statement.
Mixing patterns and colors in the same tones is a wonderful way to get a more exotic style and achieve that Bohemian look. Especially when using bright geometric patterns and colors like purple and oranges.
Suzani can be used as a more eclectic and ethnic throw over a sofa or over-sized chair with a Ikat Rug. This will give any space a definite Asian feel or you can also add some animal energy into the mix by adding an elephant pillow or carving! Or a Moroccan hanging lamp – I love the way these play with light in any room magically very oriental.
