The textile traditions of Turkey, Central Asia and the Middle East are some of the most ancient and venerable in the world, and fabrics from these regions have long been collected and prized for their beauty. Many interior designers have based their decorating careers around dealing in these textiles. It does seem that the rugs known as kilims and jajims, which are made across a vast area from Turkey to Azerbaijan, are having a particular moment. A kilim is a flat-woven textile, often with stripes or variations on a set of geometric motifs.

As well as the regional variety offered by kilims, I particularly love the many layers they to a room – colour, pattern, texture, a story, cultural references. Memories too if you have collected them yourself – you will never forget that shop where you bought them on your travels.
Depending on their weight, size and condition, use them on the floor and walls, usually behind furniture, as window coverings and door curtains and for upholstery.

Whether made into cushions, covering ottomans and other furniture, or occupying their customary position on the floor, these rugs, with their earthy colours and traditional motifs, are a surprisingly versatile decorative element. They fit in well with both pared-back and highly colourful interiors, and in contemporary or traditional rooms.
