The best kind of home decor is the kind that’s both beautiful and practical. Unlike those knick knacks you use to decorate tabletops, mantels, and other flat surfaces that are mainly pretty to look at, an area rug provides added functionality such as noise dampening, increased traction, better comfort underfoot, and anchoring furniture in place. These benefits all work together to make your home safer, cozier, and more inviting.
On the aesthetic side, an area rug incorporates color, pattern, and dimension into your favorite living spaces to prevent your interior design from falling flat or feeling incomplete/unfinished.
There are plenty of reasons to choose a hand knotted area rug. One reason that may not be as obvious? The use of vegetable dyes!
Vegetable dyes have been used in rug weaving for centuries, but that’s not what makes rugs crafted with veggie dyes so appealing. Veggie dyes – essentially the use of natural elements such as indigo leaves, flowers, berries, bark, and seeds to create color – are:
- Long-lasting, durable, and fade-resistant to retain those bright, saturated colors
- Rich in character to add warmth and personality to your favorite spaces
- Distinctive thanks to subtle color variations, meaning no two rugs are completely identical
- Handcrafted for a lower carbon footprint
- Beloved by interior designers and rug collectors
Veggie died area rugs wear like iron, so this is one investment you shouldn’t overlook. With a range of sizes and color schemes, it’s easy to find a veggie dyed rug for a living or dining room, a home office or library, a den, and beyond!
Don’t wait for summer to set in before you begin your search for these prized pieces. Shop vegetable dyed rugs online at tiftrugs.com or in person at our Downtown Buffalo or Williamsville showrooms.
