Colorful Cotton Rugs
Cotton rugs are often colorful, versatile, and suitable for every room in the home. They come in many different sizes and shapes, offering endless styling possibilities. Please note that due to the nature of woven rugs, there may be slight color variations between production batches, as well as differences in lengths or stripe widths. These details are especially important to consider if you plan to place several cotton rugs side by side.

How to Choose the Right Cotton Rug for Your Home
When choosing a cotton rug, consider a few key factors to ensure it suits your home and lifestyle:
1. Match your interior style
Think about your home’s overall design and atmosphere. For a classic interior, a handwoven cotton rug is a great choice. For a more modern look, choose a machine-woven cotton rug with clean lines and minimal patterns.
2. Consider your household activity level
If you have small children or pets, opt for a durable, tightly woven cotton rug that can handle heavy use and doesn’t show dirt easily. For calmer households without pets or children, you can choose a softer and more delicate cotton rug.
3. Choose the right color and pattern
Select a color that complements your furniture and décor. Keep in mind that bold patterns can make smaller rooms feel cozier, while simple or neutral designs make spaces appear larger. If you’re unsure about the color, go for neutral shades — they’re timeless and stay stylish longer than trend-based colors.
How to Care for a Cotton Rug
Cotton is a strong and natural fiber, making it ideal for everyday use. With proper care, your cotton rug can last for many years. Here are some practical care tips:
1. Vacuum regularly
Frequent vacuuming removes dust and dirt that accumulate over time. Use a vacuum with good suction to reach deep into the fibers. Regular airing also helps keep the rug fresh.
2. Clean stains immediately
If a spill occurs, clean it as soon as possible. Blot inward to prevent the stain from spreading. For larger or stubborn stains, wash the entire rug using mild detergent or carpet cleaner. Use a clean white cloth, rinse with water, and dry thoroughly.
3. Apply a protective treatment
Since cotton is absorbent, it can attract stains. Use a fabric protector spray to make the rug’s surface more resistant to dirt and moisture, allowing easier spot cleaning later.
