What is a blue rug?<\/h2>\n

A blue rug ranges from a soft ice blue to a deep navy blue. Blue is one of the oldest colours used in hand-knotted and hand-woven rugs: the dye indigo, extracted from the indigo plant, produces the characteristic deep shades of blue and purple on wool and has been used for centuries in various weaving traditions.<\/p>\n

Blue has a calming and cooling effect, and works well both as a subtle backdrop in a light-coloured room and as a contrasting element against natural-coloured furniture.<\/p>\n\n
