5 Uses of Kilims for an Eclectic Home by Yak Carpet

In terms of adding a personal touch of character, cosiness and texture to your living room, Kilims are the correct option. These flat-woven carpets have been a classic flooring in the olden times, and even nowadays, they are glorified in the modern and eclectic environments worldwide. Our special line of handwoven Kilims, sold at Yak Carpet, one of the oldest and best carpet stores in India, is a combination of traditional work and modern styles, which makes them a multi-purpose item in any interior. These are five imaginative ways of using Kilims to make your home a high-end, eclectic interior.

As a Statement Floor Rug
A Kilim is most traditionally used as a floor covering. Its bright geometrical shapes and vivid colours immediately turn a drab entrance into an energetic centre of attention. A handwoven Kilim rug would put a sense of international style and cosiness in the living room, in the dining space, or in the bedroom. It is light, durable and easy to maintain due to the flatweave texture that suits daily life use in an eclectic home.

As a Wall Hanging
Why keep your Kilim to the floor? Kilim is a beautiful piece of weaving that can be used as a wall tapestry or a work of art. A Kilim on the wall is more than a mere addition to the room in terms of its rich colour and texture, a history of craftsmanship and culture to the wall. The concept is ideal for people who prefer bohemian or eclectic interiors and want to showcase their art in a non-traditional manner. Most of our Kilims at Yak Carpet were crafted by skilled weavers who applied the ancient methods in crafting our carpets, and their applications in such artistic presentations are ideal.

As Furniture Upholstery
To be bold and elegant, you can upholster the furniture, such as benches, ottomans, or chair cushions, with Kilims. The complex designs of Kilims give modern furniture a character and an artistic touch. This combination of ancient craft and modern architecture adds an eclectic atmosphere to any room at a glance. The ideal feature that can be used to unify your space is a Kilim-upholstered ottoman or accent chair in the collection of the Yak Carpet.

As Table Runners or Throws
In case you want to be less raw, you can use Kilim runners or throws on your dining or coffee table. The Kilim runners would make your table look lovely and styled, whereas the small Kilim would be a layered and comfortable appearance when laid on a couch or a bed. This information is not complex but effective as it provides a burst of colour and texture without cramming the area.

As Bedside or Entryway Accents
Small Kilim flooring is ideal in compact areas such as doorsteps, corridors or near the bed. Their thin and flattened structure makes them easy to follow through small spaces, besides creating a sense of style and beauty. A Kilim runner in the hall, or a mini Kilim at the bedside, makes life in your eclectic home all the way more comfortable and stylish, not to mention making it look inviting too.

At Last
A Kilim of Yak Carpet is not merely an ornamental object but a mixture of history, art and usability. Every Kilim is woven with natural colours and wool using the hands of generations of masters. Kilim is a versatile piece that can be worn as a rug, hung on the wall, or placed anywhere on the furniture, adding its trademark texture and classical style, which will be seamlessly integrated in terms of texture and design with any eclectic interior.
