What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. They are known as vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims depending on the era they were woven, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some are also produced using cotton or silk. They are made from natural materials. Natural dyes are used for coloring, so you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups, known as tribal rugs.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are incredibly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior design styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials enhances the kilim's warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere, enhancing the overall feel of a room when placed on the floor or hung on a wall. Kilims feature ethnic designs and tribal aesthetics, making them compatible with interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and Morocco. Arranged as tapestries or cushions, they can add warmth and depth to an entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If dirt is a concern, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool and silk) with water, wring out a towel or similar cloth firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, thoroughly wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
