What is a Kilim?

Kilims and Interior Design

For natural or Scandinavian interiors, combining kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials enhances their warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; by laying them on the floor or hanging them on walls, they elevate the overall mood of the room. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. Arranging them as tapestries or cushions can add warmth and depth to the entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust 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, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove the detergent and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
