Kashmiri Hand Knotted Silk Rugs – Timeless Luxury for Canberra Homes
Share
There is hardly anything in home decor that is as luxurious and as traditional as a Kashmiri Hand Knotted Silk rug. These are not just floor coverings, but pieces of art, heirloom quality, wove over centuries of the Kashmiri weaving culture and finished with an air that makes any room changes. Canberra, the home of Magic Rugs, the local rug expert, celebrates these masterpieces and assists you in making your selections, taking care of them and displaying them in your home.
What makes a Kashmiri Hand Knotted Silk rug special?
Kashmiri Hand Knotted Silk can be defined as a carpet hand-woven in the Kashmir area (and occasionally by Kashmiri artisans in other areas) made of silk yarn and knotting techniques. A number of factors render them outstanding:
· Hand knotting: The rugs are knotted by knot on a loom. It is a labour-intensive process that may require months (even years) to complete, based on size and complexity, resulting in a thick, durable pile and a beautiful level of detail that cannot possibly be replicated through machine-made rugs.
· Premium silk fibres: Silk is incredibly shiny and soft. It takes light so well and gives it a glow-like jewellish color.
· Intricate designs: Kashmiri designs usually contain floral patterns, vine, and classical Persian-style medallions in minute detail due to the large knot density.
· Unique texture and weight: Fine silk rugs are light in weight, can be draped beautifully and slide on the floor as opposed to wool or synthetic carpet, giving customers a feel that is unmatched by other carpets.

How to choose the right Kashmiri Hand Knotted Silk rug for your space?
The choice of a silk rug is an issue of taste and not necessarily practicality. Consider the following:
· Room and traffic: Silk carpeting should be moved where it will not be subjected to much foot traffic or to rough use that of a bedroom, under a coffee table or serve as a wall hanging.
· Size & proportion: Measure your space. Furniture should have a rug that holds it together without occupying the room. In the case of living rooms, one should have a rug, where the front legs of the sofas and chairs can be placed on the rug.
· Color & lighting: Colors look sufficiently glowing by the sheen of silk. Light rugs will help a room to look light and dark jewel tones will help the room look dramatic. See the look of the rug in your home lighting (artificial and natural) and make the decision.
· Design scale: High-knot-density Kashmiri work can be made with very fine detail; small-scale designs can be used in small rooms, and large medallions can be used in large spaces.
· Budget & value: Hand-knotted silk rugs are value products. Treat them as long-term investments: properly taken care of silk carpets can increase in value and be inherited by future generations.
Caring for your Kashmiri Hand Knotted Silk rug
A silk rug is shiny decades after proper maintenance. Take the following steps:
Rotate regularly: Switch your rug 180 every 612 months so that the wear and sun exposure is even.
Avoid direct sunlight: Continued sun light bleaches silk dye. Curtains or UV filtering windows film can be used to safeguard colors.
Use rug pads: A good pad will not help the rug to slip, will not wear much, and will cushion the fibres of the rug.
Spot clean carefully: Clean up blots as soon as they appear using a clean, white cloth. Don’t rub-a-dub-a-dub, it kills fibres. In the case of the stains, Magic Rugs is the authority to be consulted before any cleaning product is applied.
Professional cleaning: Silk rugs need to be professionally cleaned. Get your rug professionally cleaned after every 3-5 years (or even less, when it is heavily used). We would suggest Canberra based cleaners who are familiar with hand knotted silk.
Storage tips: In case of storage, roll (not fold) the rug in acid-free tissue paper, store it high off the ground, and store in a cool dry environment with moth balls.
Styling ideas — where to use a Kashmiri Hand Knotted Silk rug
Silk carpets can make many interior designs higher:
· Formal living rooms: An under-seating of a group should be with a Persian kashmiri rug so as to give the room the luxury touch.
· Bedrooms: Bed adds a silk runner or a smaller silk rug beside the bed to make it soft and bring a tint of glamour.
· Dining rooms: Dine on a heavy-duty silk-blend, or with a protective pad; silk-covered floors may add a high-end formal decoration to any dining room.
· Entryways & foyers: A good silk rug can give a very impressive first impression when put in a low-traffic entryway.
· Layering: Over a bigger wool rug, place a smaller Kashmiri silk rug to provide the contrast in its texture, and to cover the smaller part and reveal the beauty of the smaller one.
