Rugs and summer… Are you joking?

How will I keep my rugs at home with this heat?

As summer progresses and temperatures rise, you store away your carpets, relegating them to the attic or a cupboard. But is this really necessary?

There are good reasons to enjoy the beauty of rugs and kilims all year round. Read on…

The main reason people remove carpets during the summer months is the belief that carpets generate heat and increase room temperatures. In reality, this is a misconception.

Carpets provide warmth in winter due to the thermal insulation properties of wool fibers. This same insulation is beneficial in the summer, as wool creates a barrier that prevents heat from passing through, keeping the room cooler.

So, if you want to stay cool this summer, keep your rug to insulate your home from the heat.

Here you will find some fresh summery coloured rugs and kilims.
