Design and Patterns

Afghan rugs are known for their intricate designs, featuring patterns that hold cultural significance and a deep connection to the artisans who craft them:

• Gul Motifs: The most iconic feature of Afghan rugs is the presence of geometric motifs known as “guls.” These are often octagonal or diamond-shaped, meticulously repeated across the rug to create a balanced, harmonious design.

• Elephant’s Foot (Tekke) Motif: A traditional Afghan design, the “elephant’s foot” motif, originated from the Tekke tribe. This classic motif reflects the artistic heritage of the Afghan people, lending a touch of history and culture to your home.

• Borders: Afghan rugs are framed by intricate borders that accentuate the central motifs. These multiple layers of patterns give the rug a sophisticated structure, making it a perfect centerpiece for any room.

Colours

Afghan rugs are celebrated for their deep, rich colors that can enhance any interior style:

• Bold, Deep Hues: Traditional Afghan rugs are often designed in striking shades of deep reds, burgundy, maroon, and rich blues. These colors lend warmth and richness to any space.

• Contrasting Highlights: Lighter shades like ivory, beige, and gold are used to emphasize the intricate patterns, providing a beautiful contrast and making the designs pop.
