Understanding rugs changes the way you choose them
A collection of expert guides on scale, materials, design, craftsmanship, and care—created to help you make more informed decisions before choosing or commissioning a rug.
After more than twenty years of making rugs, we have learned that a successful rug is never chosen by design alone.
Scale, fiber, construction, natural light, lifestyle, and architecture all influence how a rug will look, perform, and ultimately belong in a room.
The Kaymanta Library brings that knowledge together in a growing collection of guides created for homeowners, interior designers, architects, and design professionals.
The purpose is not to impose rigid rules. It is to provide better criteria for making considered decisions.
Start with the fundamentals
Our first guides address two of the most important decisions in any rug project: proportion and material.
