What is a kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. Depending on the era they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims using cotton or silk are also produced. They use natural materials. Natural dyes are also used for dyeing, so you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are sturdily woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups, known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns with motifs of nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The design and color characteristics differ depending on the region of origin, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items; they are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a living space. By using kilims, you can achieve a life surrounded by art and comfort, and enjoy a life filled with your favorite things.

Kilims and interior design

For natural and Scandinavian interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural feel. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; laying them on the floor or hanging them on walls can elevate the overall mood of a room. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them suitable for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, Morocco, and other regions.

Daily care

Remove dust and dirt with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If you are concerned about stains, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, carefully wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important notes

Due to being hand-woven, there may be slight distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, or dye variations. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of hand-weaving.
