Chinese antique carpets have a history of more than 2,000 years, and most of them are produced in ethnic minority areas such as Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, and Beijing. Since there were no machines in the past, all carpets were made by hand. In the past, the natural environment had no industrial pollution, the air was fresh, and the grassland was fertile, so the quality of wool produced in these areas was better than that of modern times. Using plants and minerals extracted from various natural environments for natural plant dyeing, the color is bright, bright and never fades.

3. The dyeing materials of antique carpets are all made of natural vegetable and mineral colors. The advantage of natural color is that it is durable and long-lasting. Because natural plant colors and mineral colors were once alive, their molecular structure is more penetrating. The older the color, the brighter the color will be, just like adding a protective film to the wool can prolong the life of the carpet. Therefore, the color of the antique carpet is comfortable, uniform and bright, and does not fade.

Walls and rugs are the largest visual areas in any room, and if you want the room to feel unified and organized, it's best to have their colors associated. If the color of the rest of the room has been decided, then the color of the rugs should be close to their color. If you choose a patterned wallpaper, sofa or a picture, you can choose one of the colors as the color of the rug. Light and dark shades can be used on curtains and sofas, but one other color can also be used as a complement to this palette.
The last thing is to consider whether the color you choose is really what you want and is suitable for your home. The color change that the furniture in the room takes on in all the natural light will also make the rug look different. Artificial light looks "grey" so carpet samples need to be viewed in daylight and evening lighting.
