Top tips about Handmade Jarapa Rugs

If you would like to place a rug under a dining or kitchen table, the rug should be about 120cm longer and wider than your table.
For well used areas such as entrance halls, halls and kitchens, choose the extra hardwearing Batalla sencilla styles, preferably in dark colours.
For dark floors, choose light-coloured rugs, so that they do not blend in and disappear once in place. For light-coloured flooring, choose rugs in brighter colours in order to enhance your floor surfaces.
Hand-woven in cotton and cotton chenille, these rugs are machine washable on a 30-degree cycle and are thus ideal if you have pets. In fact, the Mini Doble rugs are often used as bedding for cats and dogs - They absolutely love them!
If you prefer "fluff less" rugs with a soft flat texture, choose from the Batalla sencilla rugs range.
If you love snug fluffed pile rugs, choose from the Batalla doble rugs range.
If you love geometric designs, choose from the Provenzal rugs range.
Both Batalla doble rugs and Provenzal rugs are also ideal as sound proofing! They muffle effectively sounds when used as wall hangings, adding a cosy feel to the room.
The Mini doble rugs are also excellent entrance mats, as they absorb mud and any other dirt. You only need to shake them and wash them in your washing machine! Original and elegant entrance mats, they are practical and hardwearing, wash after wash!

Cream or light coloured rugs will brighten up dark rooms and will give a feeling of space to small rooms.
Cream rugs will convey a more sophisticated and elegant style.
Cool colours, such as green and blue will convey a feeling of freshness and peacefulness, and are ideal in rooms where you need a calming effect such as studies, offices, etc.
Earthy colours, such as terracotta, red, yellow, brown, will create a warm and cosy atmosphere.
Bright unusual colours will add a modern fun and original look to your room and work fantastically well in children's bedrooms. The vivid colours offered by the Jarapa rugs are ideal to convey a bold statement.

Jarapa rugs can be easily secured on any smooth surfaces such as tiled or laminated floors with anti-slip products such as rug underlay, sticky tapes or rug anti-slip spray. For more information, see our Rug anti-slip suppliers list.
Securing your handmade rug with an anti-slip underlay will add thermal insulation, pile protection and extra cushioned softness.
If you would like to use an anti-slip underlay to secure your Jarapa rug, it needs to be smaller than your rug size so it doesn't show.

Quality rugs bringing style, colour and warmth to your home
