Cotton & Rag rugs
The classic rag rug has perhaps never been as popular as it is now. They are found in most Swedish homes and these days come in classic and modern versions. You can find a wide range of rag and cotton rugs at RoyalDesign.co.uk.
The history of the rag rug
The rag rug has not existed as long as one might think. The use of rugs in general only emerged in the 1870s. It was then that living standards were high enough for people to begin decorating their homes with wall décor and rugs on the floors. Rugs were made from leftover fabric pieces woven together into beautiful rugs. Today, rag rugs come in countless colours and shapes.
Care of your rag rug
Since rag rugs are often made from cotton fabrics, they are very practical. Cotton is an extremely easy-care material. Rag rugs are easy to clean with warm water and mild detergent. Many modern rag rugs can even be machine washed. This makes rag rugs and other cotton rugs suitable for all homes, regardless of the age of family members.
