Warm-Toned Rugs

Madder red, rust, saffron and rose fill this collection, rugs with the kind of colour that makes a room feel welcoming the moment you walk in.

Vintage Persian pieces make up much of it, with Hamadan, Qashqai, Shiraz and Bakhtiari rugs in deep reds that have mellowed with age, alongside Turkmen rugs with rows of guls on rich red grounds. Maimana and Faryab kilims bring brighter warmth in stepped diamonds, while Afghan Chobi and Pashm rugs keep it soft, in terracotta, apricot and blush.

Warm rugs suit timber floors, linen and leather, and they bring life to a cool or south-facing room. If your walls are pale, a red or rust rug can carry the colour for the whole space.
