Handcrafted carpets are a powerful tool for creating a home’s style. Nowadays, an increasing number of people opt for carpets in their homes, especially after returning from work and removing their shoes and socks, stepping barefoot on the soft and fluffy carpets adds a sense of warmth and comfort. However, handcrafted carpets are expensive, and if one spends a lot of money only to find that the carpet does not match the actual home style, it can be quite frustrating.
Is there a type of carpet that can match all styles of home spaces? Many excellent interior designers are fascinated by the geometric primitive designs and gorgeous bright colors of antique Caucasian carpets. These antique carpets, woven by the indigenous people of the Caucasus region, have distinct tribal characteristics and have gradually integrated into contemporary furniture decoration styles in recent years. Caucasian carpets, also known as ‘tribal carpets’, have symbols on them that hold special significance for the makers, representing the inheritance of some ancient culture. The patterns on tribal carpets are generally simple geometric designs, and when laid in rooms with minimalist styles or neutral color schemes, the striking colors of tribal carpets can create a focal point in the space, serving as the basis for the rest of the room’s design. At the end of the 19th century, with the opening of transportation and trade channels, tribal carpets began to spread from the Caucasus region and became popular outside, entering European and American homes for the first time. They also became an important element of home decoration in the Victorian era. Whether matching classic American, romantic French, or modern minimalist home styles, tribal carpets can add an authentic sense of historical retro, highlighting the elegance and refinement of the room. At the same time, tribal carpets are excellent transitional carpets; their dazzling colors and charming patterns always catch people’s attention at first glance and can well connect different eras of design works in the same room, making them appear more harmonious and unified. The color scheme of tribal carpets also has a sense of the times. The frequently used red, warm brown, black, and blue all originate from the colors of spices sold on the Silk Road. This color scheme, which imitates the colors of primitive plants, gives tribal carpets a traditional and global feel, as if they are a traveler through time and space. Nowadays, in the home furnishing industry, people are increasingly advocating a home decoration style themed around ‘nature’, and this style is developing in more and more diverse ways. The quality and material of tribal carpets make them very suitable for such home use. Whether formal or casual, solemn or lazy, almost every home decoration style can find the presence of tribal carpets. From the living room to the kitchen, to the bedroom and even the bathroom, tribal carpets can perfectly fit with the space, adding a touch of colorful and personality to the room.If you are also interested in this type of carpet, then be sure to follow our upcoming posts.
