1. Nice warm woollen rug
Wintry atmospheres and wool are inseparable. Woollen rugs are becoming increasingly popular and that's not surprising. It brings a lot of atmosphere, warmth and that little extra to any interior. Whether you have a Scandinavian, classic or modern interior, wool fits in effortlessly. Besides atmosphere and warmth, wool is a material that's very easy to maintain. Wool is namely water-repellent and self-cleaning. Should your woollen rug get dirty, you can easily vacuum it! Besides, wool is insulating, which means the rug gives you warmth in the winter months and cooling in the summer months, great right!?
2. Soft high-pile rug
In the winter months you're looking for an extra warm look to your interior. A high-pile rug is a popular choice and that's not surprising. Because of the shaggy look the room doesn't just look a lot warmer and cosier, it also is. In our country we have a need for this!
The nice thing about a rug with a high pile is that it feels so soft. So feel free to take off your shoes and walk with bare feet over the lovely rug! Another advantage is that high-pile rugs come in all kinds of colours and materials. Wintry atmospheres call for wintry colours, so especially earthy colours with a warm tone work well!
3. Synthetic rug (polypropylene)
The plastic sister of a woollen rug is a synthetic rug made of polypropylene. A rug of this material feels incredibly soft and comes in all colours and designs. This makes it fit in every living room and there's always a rug you like! This rug also feels wonderfully soft under your bare feet. The big advantage of synthetic rugs is that they are very easy to clean and keep clean. Should something accidentally spill during Sinterklaas or Christmas, you simply grab the vacuum and you're good to go!
