Winter rug inspiration
Rugs in winter, a real must-have this season! You're busy at home putting away the summer decorations and replacing them with winter ornaments. Meanwhile, the Christmas tree has been brought down from the attic and you're putting up extra candles here and there to create more atmosphere. Yet something is still missing to create that extra cosy feeling. A warm winter rug! Winter rugs add that extra touch to your home to make it cosy. Besides, it's nice to have warm feet when you're binge-watching Home Alone! In this article the top 3 types of rugs for a warm winter feeling in the living room.
#1 Make it cosy with a high-pile rug in winter!
By making it cosy at home with a winter rug you notice less that we're cutting back significantly on heating. This is because your surroundings radiate warmth, so you automatically get a warm and cosy feeling. You create this feeling optimally by a winter rug, ambient lighting, candles, blankets and warm hot chocolate (with whipped cream of course). With a winter rug you create that extra warm feeling, choose for example a high-pile rug. A high-pile rug is wonderfully soft, warm and insulating. This means it retains the warmth and it's a few degrees warmer in the home. High-pile rugs come in different types and sizes, you can literally make it as warm as you want! So there are high-pile rugs with one type of yarn or with different types of yarn, from 3cm high or from 5cm high. You read it right, for every interior a suitable high-pile winter rug.
After the winter rug is down it's nice to hang up some extra ambient lighting. For example above the sofa, the sideboard or by the window. Complete the decoration party by placing candles, your warmest and thickest blanket (nice if it matches a winter rug) and last but not least a warm hot chocolate (with whipped cream).
#2 All you need is a woollen winter rug
This year it's not all you need is love with Robert ten Brink but all you need is a woollen rug with Volero! As we said before, a winter rug is namely the must-have of this cold season. A winter rug gives you extra warmth and let's be honest, who doesn't want that? Besides the fact that a winter rug is insulating and so you can turn your heating down a few degrees, it's also nice and soft under your feet. A warm, soft surface is much nicer to walk on than a cold, hard surface! The most well-known winter rug is a woollen rug. Not only because of the softness but also because of its self-cleaning properties. This is because it contains lanolin, which ensures that dirt and other bacteria are repelled. Ideal, right!? As we said: all you need is a winter rug!
This soft, warm surface comes in all kinds of different types, colours and sizes. For example, we've made a winter rug from wool. Wool is a soft high-pile that ensures that you have warm feet in winter and get the cooling you need in summer. Besides wool being water-repellent, woollen rugs are also easy to maintain in winter and summer.
#3 Winter wonderland with a shaggy winter rug
A winter rug! Warm, comfortable and an eyecatcher in your interior. That's what you need this season to make your home look like a winter wonderland rug fairytale! Go for a round high-pile shaggy rug or for the warm rugs from the Blaze rugs collection from FRAAI. Shaggy rugs give you a 100% warm feet guarantee in winter. The long loose fibres provide a wonderfully soft surface. There are shaggy rugs with a subtle sheen that give your interior a chic look so you create a true winter wonderland in your living room. With which winter rug do you bring your winter fairytale to life at home?
