handmade carpets

While buying modern carpets, you are likely to be bombarded with options. There are many colors, designs, weave patterns, themes, dyes and complete portfolios of artwork from which you can choose. In the past, wall hangings and tapestries were much in vogue. Families would place orders of custom made tapestries and carpets to decorate their drawing rooms and living rooms. Modern trends have changed though; now you get the machine made carpets as opposed to the classic handmade carpets. These carpets are mostly based on simple geometric designs, complement the decor with their rich color and are often made of thick wool weave. Sometimes, an extra flare can also be added in the form of glittery threads within the weave to make them look funky and more appealing. Such carpets enliven the overall atmosphere of the decor and serve as a central piece of the interior design.
