Rugs
Drakewell Kitchens & Closets curates exceptional rug collections that anchor rooms and define living spaces. The showroom features handwoven masterpieces, vintage treasures, and contemporary designs that suit every interior style. Each rug selection reflects careful attention to craftsmanship, materials, and how these foundational pieces complete a room's design.
Handcrafted Artistry in Luxury Rugs
Luxury rugs showcase centuries of textile tradition combined with contemporary design innovation. The collection includes hand-knotted wool pieces with intricate patterns passed down through generations of artisans. Each rug tells a story through weaving techniques, color palette, and cultural heritage embedded in every thread.
We are delighted to offer exceptional collections from Jaipur Rugs, a brand that brings artisanal legacy to modern homes while honoring traditional craftsmanship and embracing contemporary living. Jaipur Rugs works directly with skilled weavers, creating pieces that benefit entire communities while delivering outstanding quality. Their materials range from sumptuous silk highlights to durable wool foundations that age gracefully through years of daily use.
Construction methods vary from flat-weave durability to plush hand-knotted luxury, with each technique offering distinct advantages for different room applications. Wool rugs provide natural stain resistance and durability, ideal for high-traffic areas. Silk accents add lustrous highlights that catch light beautifully in formal dining rooms and living spaces.
The Timeless Character of Antique Rugs
Antique rugs bring instant character to contemporary interiors through weathered patinas and time-softened colors that develop over decades. Vintage distressed collections capture this aged appeal while offering the structural integrity of newer construction.
Persian and traditional pieces feature geometric patterns and intricate floral motifs that complement today's interiors. Moroccan tribal patterns add historical depth while working beautifully with contemporary furniture styles.
Thoughtful Rug Design
Designer rugs bring sophistication to interiors through patterns and colorways developed by leading textile artists. These pieces often feature limited production runs, making your rug a conversation piece rather than something guests recognize from multiple homes.
Selecting rugs requires understanding how patterns, colors, and textures work within your overall design scheme. A beautiful rug can tie together disparate elements in a room or completely derail a carefully planned color palette. Scale matters tremendously;oversized patterns can overwhelm intimate spaces, while tiny motifs disappear in large rooms.
An experienced design studio approaches rug selection as part of comprehensive interior planning rather than isolated decorative choices. Antique pieces bring character and history to contemporary spaces, while modern abstracts can ground traditional furniture in fresh ways. Custom sizing accommodates unusual room dimensions or furniture arrangements that standard rug sizes cannot address adequately.
Color relationships between rugs and existing elements require careful consideration of undertones, lighting conditions, and seasonal changes. A rug that looks perfect under showroom lighting might appear completely different in your home's natural light throughout various times of day.
Anchor Your Room with Stylish Area Rugs
Area rugs anchor furniture arrangements while adding warmth, color, and texture to hard flooring surfaces throughout your home. The right rug size and placement can make rooms feel larger, define separate areas within open floor plans, and tie together different design elements into a cohesive whole. Proper rug selection considers room proportions, furniture scale, and how spaces are used daily:
- Open floor plans benefit from multiple rugs that define different activity zones while maintaining visual flow between spaces.
- Entryways, hallways, and other high-traffic areas need durable materials to withstand daily wear without losing style.
- Kitchens and breakfast areas work well with washable rugs that provide comfort underfoot while standing and cooking.
- Home offices and study areas benefit from rugs that reduce sound and create defined work zones within larger rooms.
- Layering smaller rugs over larger neutral ones creates visual depth and allows seasonal changes without significant investment.
Rug proportions should leave appropriate border space around room perimeters while being substantial enough to ground furniture arrangements. Too small rugs make rooms feel disconnected and furniture appear to float, while oversized rugs can overwhelm spaces and create awkward traffic patterns.
