How Do I Clean Kilims and Flatweaves?
February 6, 2024
Above, the New York City Climate Change Museum enjoys an antique Persian Tabriz rug from Rug & Kilim, rented for its first exhibition in October 2022.
The Museum is a floating pop-up experience, which collaborates with artists and installations in different spaces throughout NYC. This first installation in Brooklyn needed to borrow a large rug for its main space on short notice — a work of regal, yet smart sensibility to bring the design together with a comfortable presence, but also complement the air of intelligent discussion, institution and passion a space like this needs. The result was a special experience for the Museum, though the situation is more frequent than many might think, where time is limited a high-end interior design calls for a flexible option.
Renting Rugs and Kilims for Special Events
Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or a private party, a carefully chosen rug not only serves as a more personal element, but also defines specific areas within the venue, such as dance floors or seating arrangements. For those who revel in frequently updating their home decor, renting a rug is also an ideal solution. The ability to rent rugs allows individuals to align their living spaces with the latest trends, seasonal changes, or personal moods.
