Lori Rugs

Lori rugs, made by the natives of Lorestan in western Iran, are traditional tribal rugs. Weavers of the Lori culture make traditional carpets with motifs and styles comparable to those of the Kurds. Lori carpets are woven using hand-made implements according to centuries-old, time-honored methods that have been passed down from generation to generation for millennia. Lori rugs are flat-woven, which means that they lack a pile. Flat weave is a weaving method in which no knots are employed.

Placing Lori Rugs: Size and Space Guide

Choosing the right size and placement for your Lori rug can enhance the overall aesthetic of your space. Here’s a guide to help you make the most of your Lori rugs in different areas of your home:

Living Room:

8x10 or 9x12 Lori Rug: Ideal for anchoring your living room furniture. Place the rug so that it extends under the main seating area, with the front legs of sofas and chairs resting on it. This arrangement creates a cohesive look and adds warmth and texture to the space.

5x8 or 6x9 Lori Rug: Suitable for smaller seating arrangements. Position the rug in front of the sofa or under a coffee table to create a defined area within the room.

Bedroom:

8x10 or 9x12 Lori Rug: Position the rug under the lower two-thirds of the bed, extending beyond the sides and foot of the bed. This setup ensures a soft landing for your feet and enhances the room’s cozy ambiance.

5x7 or 6x9 Lori Rug: Place these smaller rugs beside the bed for a touch of color and comfort when you step out of bed in the morning.

Dining Room:

8x10 or 9x12 Lori Rug: Fits well under a table that seats six to eight people, providing ample space for chairs to move in and out without falling off the edge of the rug. The bold designs of Lori rugs can also add visual interest to the dining area.

5x7 or 6x9 Lori Rug: Suitable for smaller dining tables. Ensure that all chairs sit comfortably on the rug even when pulled out.
