Which rugs can you get for up to 1,000 euros?

If the living room rug is to be especially large and generous
in scale, it is worth allowing for a little more budget.

Between 500 and 1,000 euros, what most people are looking
for in a rug happens: the rug becomes big enough to carry a room.
Half the pieces in this segment are over two square metres, a
quarter over three. That puts you in formats a coffee table fits under,
that frame a bed or hold a dining area for two to four people
together.

On paper you pay around 300 euros per square
metre in this bracket – only a little more than in the class
including. That means: you are not primarily buying greater fineness, but more
surface area. If you would rather have a smaller but more finely knotted piece,
you will find that here too, simply in 120 x 180 cm instead of 170 x 240 cm.

With 600 runners is
this segment our largest selection for hallways, kitchens and bedside surrounds. Runners
are a special case in the pricing logic: they are long but narrow, and so add
up to few square metres with plenty of impact. If you have a long hallway, this is
the price bracket in which you will find what you are looking for.

In terms of material, hand-spun sheep's wool still dominates,
often dyed in natural colours – a good two thirds of the pieces in this segment carry
exactly this specification. Kazak
and Oxiana rugs bring bold patterns and muted natural tones, Lori and
Gabbeh pieces are more coarsely knotted, but thick and soft in return. Silk remains the
exception; where it does appear, it is usually an accent thread, not a silk pile.
