They are often arranged through the use of unwound rags and rough wool, and they are valued for their folksy designs and weaving patterns. Because of the simplicity of these beautiful mid-century vintage rugs, it is not uncommon to see them used frequently in households that emphasize function and simple aesthetics in order to allow the rug to appear right at home amidst the rest of the home décor.

Many of these beautiful Scandinavian rugs were developed throughout the 20th century, and weaving traditions continue to the modern day, where many weavers continue developing these elegantly understated masterpieces as a way to stay in touch with the style’s classical roots. Colors may vary, but it is not common for many Swedish rugs to feature particularly diverse color palettes. Typically, once a color theme is chosen, it will be establish at various points of contrast in order to create interest and landmarks throughout the Swedish kilim rug. Geometric shapes are often used in order to emphasize the colors and motions therein.
For those who are shopping for rugs for their home and love more peaceful area rugs in blue, then this vintage double sided blue color Swedish kilim rug would be the prefect rug for you. less
