When it comes to home décor, finding the perfect rug can feel like searching for the missing piece of a puzzle. A rug ties the room together, adds comfort, and defines your space. Among the many rug types available, hand tufted rugs have become a favorite for homeowners and interior designers alike. Why? Because they beautifully combine the softness you want underfoot with the strength needed for everyday life.
Let’s explore why hand tufted rugs are not only practical but also a beautiful investment for your home.
What Is a Hand-Tufted Rug?
A hand-tufted rug is crafted using a special tool called a tufting gun. Artisans push yarn through a fabric backing to create the rug’s pile, which is then secured with a layer of latex and finished with a cloth backing. Unlike hand-knotted rugs, which are made by tying individual knots (a process that can take months), hand-tufted rugs are faster to produce but still maintain a handcrafted quality.
This method allows for detailed patterns, bold textures, and a wide range of colors—without the long production time or high cost of traditional hand-knotted rugs.
