The Artistic Touch of Tuareg Mats - Why Your Interior Needs It?

Tuareg Mats have steadily been gaining popularity in the interior design landscape, mostly known for their variety, versatility, and authenticity. As handmade pieces, Moroccan rugs are naturally imbued with a charm that continues to enhance millions all over the world. Each rug comes with history and culture, supported by creativity, passion, and a strong connection to nature. These components make a stunning piece of art, which many fall in love with.

Since interior design embraces the bold, quirky, and unique, one of the crowd favorites is Tuareg rugs, a branch of Moroccan rugs. These mats are made from reed and leather, woven by the Tuareg people of North-West Africa.

With geometric and woven symbols to decipher, no two rugs are ever the same. The leather material exudes an elegant yet rustic feel, which is a perfect touch to the modern home. If you wish to learn more about these quiet pieces of beauty, here’s a quick guide for you.

Tuareg Mats: The Art and Soul Behind Weaves

The Tuareg people are nomads, which come from a smaller sect of the Berber tribes. As previously mentioned, they exist primarily in the Northern African regions, where they share common lifestyles with the Berbers. Their economy revolves around trade, however, which has greatly impacted their pursuit of art. Textiles are their main source of income, and each Tuareg rug has been made in line with a centuries-old tradition.

Mats produced from these nomadic tribes are heavily regarded in the Tuareg culture, as each piece is hand-woven by women. The techniques have existed for thousands of years, and each mat is made with purpose and connection with nature. Convenience is what mostly drives production, as the materials can be found in their surroundings, such as palms and reeds.

These leaves are used to create the base, and once done, decorative shapes and symbols are made using intricate leather strands from camel or goat. Each mat is then adorned with powerful symbols, telling the story of the people and women who made them. Their sizes are influenced by the need, and all Tuareg mats are made to last—even in the hottest of temperatures.

Why makes Tuareg rugs the perfect interior decor choice?

Enjoy versatility: Tuareg rugs can be used in a variety of settings, including floor covers, wall decorations, and so much more. They are made to withstand even the harshest weather, but their adaptability goes beyond just that—they’re also highly versatile in terms of style, which then ensures that you enjoy value for money.

Experience an artisanal Moroccan art piece: Tuareg rugs are more than just decor—they’re also symbols of cultural heritage, essentially art pieces you can bring home. You’ll be able to experience the history of the tribes, ensuring that you keep their work alive.

Own a piece of history: Each rug is imbued with symbolism and meanings, which depict the life of the weaver. You’ll be owning a piece made from passion and love, handmade with techniques that are thousands of years old.

Enjoying Works of Art and Culture

Moroccan rugs continue to enchant the world, and the spell will likely continue to enchant more people. With durability, culture, and art in every single piece, investing in a Moroccan rug, especially a Tuareg one, is definitely worth pursuing. Enjoy pieces made to last and made with natural materials, done by the magic hands of cultures worth learning about.

EMKO – Creating A Confetti Rug With Linen Offcuts

EMKO is a Lithuaning design brand that has worked with a local textile factor to repurpose its rainbow array of leftovers yarns into a spotted rug, which aims to bring chaotic energy into modern interiors.

Set against a plain brown or blue base, the linen offcuts are used to form blobs of different colours and pile heights, with some merging into the backdrop while others playfully protrude.

EMKO - Creating A Confetti Rug With Linen Offcuts

Called Chaos, the rug is hand-tufted in the same family-run textile factory, in the town of Panevėžys, where the offcuts are generated in the first place. The rug features multicoloured linen offcuts embedded into a caramel brown base. The colourful blobs have different pile weights to add texture to the rug.

EMKO developed a way to turn the practical limitations of the offcuts, which are available in small quantities of many different colours rather than a large amount of any one colour, into a playful visual language.

This highlights rather than downplays the fact that the rug is made using post-industrial waste materials and aims to start conversations about the need for a more responsible, circular use of resources. The Chaos rug is also available in navy blue.

Although all Chaos rugs are made in the same way, the outcome is slightly different each time, due to the varying availability of the different offcuts. The confetti-like pattern brings some chaos into sterile modern interiors while allowing the weaver a degree of improvisation.

Through the project, EMKO hopes to crank up small-scale, local linen production as well as the cultivation of flax – the plant from which linen is derived. All rugs are hand-tufted in Lithuania. The Chaos Rug is shortlisted for this year’s Dezeen Award in the homeware design category.

Room by Room – The New Inspirational Page by Rug’Society

Room by room is an inspirational page developed by Rug’Society, where you can find rugs for living and dining rooms, entryways and hallways, bedrooms and closets, and bathrooms!

Today we are going to explore the overall extent of the inspirations you can find here, and then we will cover room by room designs! Check the room by room page here!

Entryways

Entryways and hallways are the divisions that set the mood for the entire home – they are the space that first gives the ‘I am home’ feeling and where you start to unwind and disconnect from the stress outside. Entryways come in all sizes and shapes and decorating it can be a hard task.

Room by Room - The New Inspirational Page by Rug'Society

Inspired by the Portuguese archipelago, the fantastic MADEIRA Rug is a rug that mixes both the neutral backgrounds with shades of blue and bronze, bringing us to the fantastic beaches of the islands of the archipelago. This hand-tufted rug features both natural wool as well as botanical silk.

Living Room

The living room should be as welcoming to our family when they want to kick back but also as a place for our guests to relax and commute; thus when furnishing a living room, we need to look for beautiful and comfortable, practical and livable. Simple items as a coffee table, a table light, or a chandelier can go a long way to give shape to the room.

Inspired by ancient Egypt, the KLEOPATRA Rug is a lovely choice of a rug for your interior design needs. In ancient times, communication was done through symbols, icons, and images. This is a must-have rug to represent these ancient times.

Dining Room

Dining Rooms are the place where the family gathers around after a long day. The way we live does not give us much time to spend with our families, so dinner is a sacred opportunity for most families. Dining Rooms are a set-apart space intentionally designated for lingering over good food and conversation with family and friends.

This pink coloured rug creates an unbelievable ambience that defies the normalcy of the interior design trends. Surrounded by a strong black Pantone, the ROSARY Rug stands out, with a strong influence on the pink colour, creating a wonderful sight to behold. Created with Natural Wool as well as Botanical Silk.

Office

Home Office is your best companion, whether you work from home or crave to have space just for yourself to read, write, or craft, your home office is the place that should inspire the flow of creativity and allow us to get down to business as if we were at our work location.

The AIR Rug is a feat of geometric patterns and straight lines, with different reliefs and colours, whilst creating different perspectives and three-dimensional graphical design. Created with Natural Wool and Botanical Silk, employing techniques like Hand-tufting, Overtufting and Carving.

Reading Corner

Reading corners can be a dynamic expression of the owner’s personality. Creating a reading corner is a fun way to display your interests while establishing a special space for reading. Recessed, or built-in, bookshelves can provide floor-to-ceiling storage and space savings.

The elegance and sophistication is a huge part of the HERON Rug. The species portrayed in it are full of grace and beauty. This astounding rug also features different heights, creating a beautiful three-dimensional effect. Created with Botanical Silk.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are our sanctuary, they are our escape from the busy stressful life. The bedroom is where our day starts and where it ends, so it is necessary to draw an imaginary line at the base of the bedroom door, separating it from diversions such as work, chores, devices, worries.

As part of our geometric collection, the SIMBA Rug was created with a variety of various different kinds of graphic design. This amazing mix led to the creation of a truly unique rug that perfectly encapsulates the kind of style of the geometric collection. It is also created with Natural Wool and Botanical Silk.

Closets

Closets are the perfect place to prepare yourself for a new day. It should be organised, not only to make your life easier in the morning but also when getting ready for a big event. Closets showcase your personality and are also a reference to a small private room, an inner sanctum within a much larger house.

ISAAC rug stands proud as a feat of geometry and colour, with a lovely and perfect mix between square and vertical lines. This unusual combination makes it a provocative and attention-grabbing rug unlike any other. Created with Natural Wool as well as Botanical Silk.
