Textured rugs and textured carpet to the trade
Textured rugs to the trade: 1,415 styles where the construction is the pattern, from Kaleen (127), Masland (119), Nourison (101) and Emery Park Carpet (84). Tufted (417) leads, which is to say most of this is broadloom in a loop, a cut and loop or a sculptured pile; hand-loomed (381) and hand-knotted (19) follow, in wool (112), nylon (206) and wool blend (73). 1,285 are made to order.
A textured rug is a solid or near solid whose surface varies: a high and low loop, a cut pile beside a loop, a ribbed or pebbled weave, a hand-loomed wool with slubs. Masland, Fabrica and Emery Park Carpet do it in tufted nylon and wool for a wall to wall room; Couristan in a textured wool rug bound to size.
Texture is the designer's way to add interest without a second pattern and it is in style for that reason. It lands as the ground under everything and hides traffic better than a flat solid. The caution is scale: a 3 inch pebble reads as a pattern at 9x12 and should be sampled at the room and a long-float loop is not for pets or stairs. Chunky textured rugs are at high pile; see solid color rugs and tufted.
Before you specify, read the textured carpet guide, written for the trade with the constructions, fibers and rooms that suit this look.
