Beyond The Rug: Exploring Woven Wall Hangings And Floor Coverings For Monsoon Style

The Essence of Woven Wall Hangings:

Woven wall hangings are made from wool, cotton, jute and bamboo to add visual interest to the space.

In monsoon, when indoors may feel damp, these decor elements offer a comforting layer of insulation, helping to maintain a cosy and welcoming environment.

From traditional tapestries to geometric designs, each piece adds a sense of style to the space.

Techniques like handloom weaving, knotting, and braiding, result in unique textures and patterns. These ideally absorb moisture, making them perfect for monsoons.

Style with Woven Floor Coverings:

These floor coverings add warmth, softness, and visual appeal to the floors. With seagrass or synthetic materials, woven floor coverings come in a variety of styles and textures to suit any decor scheme.

Geometric patterns, tribal motifs, and bold colours add visual interest and personality to your space.

Moreover, neutral tones and subtle textures create a sense of calm and serenity. These materials and patterns ensure that the floor coverings look beautiful and pristine year-round.

Tricks for the Season:

One of the best ways to incorporate woven decor is to mix and match materials for the desired aesthetic.

For instance, incorporating roped wall hangings with jute floor coverings can create a cosy look and add to the essence of the season.

Further, the interplay of scale and proportion can impact the look of the room. Large-scale wall hangings can make a bold statement in spacious rooms.

In contrast, smaller accents like throw pillows and blankets add personality and charm to cosy corners.
