Red Rugs, Orange Rugs

Red rugs are found across all types of rugs, from traditional, oriental-style rugs to the very latest modern designs. Amongst traditional rugs, the red you will most often see is often described as Afghan Red, a deep, rich red, either produced from natural vegetable dyes in authentic handmade originals, or by newer chemical dyes that also produce a fine effect.

Contemporary red rugs tend to also be deep, rich reds, such as burgundy rugs, wine red rugs, raspberry red rugs and other berry red rugs. Rugs with a little more brown or orange in the red become the very popular rust rugs or terracotta rugs. Terracotta rugs have proved particularly successful with customers in recent years. Orange rugs are a more specialist colour and require careful consideration if you are trying to match with other orange fabrics in the room.

Pink rugs are often sought - but hard to find ! Many customers want a real "girlie" or "lipstick" pink, but rugmakers have found this hard to replicate, especially in wool rugs which favour more natural colours. Synthetic fibre rugs produce a better "lipstick pink," while silky texture of a sheepskin and sheepkin dyes also reproduce this kind of pink well.
