Wall Rugs: A Décor Trend Combining Warmth and Art

Wall rugs are a growing décor trend -- using thick textile pieces as an artistic and insulating element on the wall, instead of being limited to floors.

Why wall rugs?

• Visual and textural depth: Adds texture to the wall that flat artwork doesn't provide.
• Partial sound insulation: Weave density absorbs some echo, useful in rooms with a lot of reverb.
• Visual warmth: Gives a sense of warmth especially in rooms with cold walls (like exposed concrete).

Where is it used?

• Behind the bed as an alternative to a traditional headboard.
• In the living room as a focal point instead of traditional wall art.
• In bohemian or ethnic-style spaces where it suits the overall aesthetic.

How to choose one?

• Pattern: Geometric or tribal patterns are common for this use.
• Size: Should suit the wall's scale -- a small piece on a large wall looks lost.
• Hanging method: A simple wooden rod at the top is often better than a traditional frame, preserving the piece's natural character.
