Samad Blog - The world's finest hand knotted, decorative rugs from Samad

While frigid New Jersey winters are nothing new for us, the combination of record breaking snowstorms and the COVID-19 pandemic, have made finding warmth and comfort in our indoor spaces all the more vital this season. Interior design has the power to shape how we feel and during Wintertime there’s nothing quite like settling into spaces that are equally cozy and inviting. To play on this theme, we’ve selected five warm-toned winter rugs with the power to create an atmosphere of restful rejuvenation within a room.

The Textures Collection: Tweed, Chocolate/Multi

The Tweed design from The Textures Collection comes in three color-ways sporting a plaid pattern, that brings an overall fresh concept to hand-weaving. Other designs in this Collection include snakeskin and herringbone patterns with subtle shades of sage, pumpkin and soft crimson. Hand-knotted in North India, with 100% wool, these designs demonstrate a sense of comfort and sophistication through their simplicity.

Astrid, Natural Ivory

Bjorn, Natural Ivory

While from afar, Nordic rugs may appear to be one-demential, upon taking a closer look, they’re anything but flat. We recommend scheduling a virtual or in person appointment to get an up-close look and to experience their high-low effect and textural quality for yourself. The Bjorn design plays with different patterns giving the rug a patchwork quality, which exhibits a seemingly random and asymmetrical aesthetic.
