An adorning any living space with a vibrant and colorful Indian rug can breathe life and warmth into a room. But how does one mount the rug on the wall for optimal visual and comfortable effects? In this article, experts share tips and real-life examples.
**Finding the right spot:**
Firstly, select an appropriate place to hang your rug. It should have a flat, large, and well-lit area. The living room, with its open layout, is suggested. "Good light is essential to optimally highlight the rug’s colors," explains Elke Schmidt, textile designer and rug expert.
**Choosing the right method:**
Select a suitable mounting method – a line or a specific hanger for the wall edges. A string is ideal for smaller and lighter rugs, while a hanger suits heavier and larger ones.
**Considering scale and orientation:**
Ensure proper scale and orientation of the rug to create a harmonious impression. Compare its size to the wall space and consider its orientation in relation to room planning.
**Personal tips:**
Marion Keller, a passionate rug collector, shares her personal experience: "I hung my rug on the north wall to avoid direct sunlight affecting the colors."
