Rugs & Carpets – Ground Your Space in Style

A rug does more work than any other single decor element, it defines a zone, adds colour and texture, reduces noise, cushions feet and ties together all the furniture in a room. IKIRU's rug and carpet collection offers an extensive range of hand-tufted wool rugs, flat-weave cotton dhurries, jute area rugs, printed carpets and traditional Indian designs suitable for every room in the home.

 • Cotton Dhurries – Lightweight, washable flat-weave rugs ideal for everyday use
  • Jute & Natural Fibre Rugs – Earthy, textured rugs for boho and Scandinavian interiors
  • Hand-Tufted Wool Rugs – Premium, plush rugs with a high-end hotel feel
  • Printed Synthetic Rugs – Affordable, stain-resistant rugs with vibrant patterns
  • Kilim Rugs – Flat-woven traditional geometric rugs in rich colours
  • Runner Rugs – Long, narrow rugs for hallways, kitchens and entryways

 Living Room: Choose a rug large enough for all front legs of sofas and chairs to sit on it - typically 6×9 ft or 8×10 ft for a standard seating arrangement.
 Dining Room: The rug should extend at least 60 cm beyond the table edge on all sides so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
 Bedroom: A rug placed under the lower 2/3 of the bed (from foot to partway up the sides) in a 5×8 or 6×9 ft works well.

How Rugs Transform a Room

A rug has the ability to completely change how a space feels — visually and physically. It softens hard flooring, adds warmth underfoot, and introduces colour, pattern, and texture in a way that few other elements can.

More importantly, rugs help define zones, especially in Indian homes where open layouts are common. A well-placed rug can separate a living area from a dining space or create a cosy corner within a larger room, making the entire layout feel more intentional and cohesive.

How to Style Rugs in Different Rooms

Living Room: Anchor your seating by placing the rug under the front legs of sofas and chairs
Bedroom: Add warmth by placing a rug under the bed or using runners on either side
Dining Area: Choose low-pile or flat-weave rugs for easy movement of chairs
Entryway: Use durable runner rugs to create a welcoming first impression
Layering Rugs: Place a smaller patterned rug over a larger neutral one for added depth and interest

Layering and placement can instantly elevate a room, making it feel more designed and less scattered.

Q: Are cotton dhurries washable?
 A: Yes, most cotton flat-weave dhurries are machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always air dry flat.
 
 Q: How do I keep a rug from slipping on a marble or tile floor?
 A: Use a non-slip rug pad beneath the rug. These are available in most hardware and home stores.
 
 Q: What rug is best for high-traffic areas like entryways?
 A: Flat-weave cotton or jute rugs are most durable in high-traffic areas. Avoid high-pile rugs in these zones.
