What Does “Persian Rug Specialist” Really Mean?

A Persian rug specialist isn’t just someone who sells rugs. A true specialist helps you understand the difference between handmade and imitation rugs, explains materials and weaving styles, and guides you toward the best option for your home, lifestyle, and budget. When you invest in a handmade rug, you’re buying a piece of craftsmanship — and the advice you receive matters just as much as the rug itself.

• Authenticity first: real handmade rugs, not mass-produced lookalikes.
• Education and guidance: choosing the right size, style, material and quality.
• Transparent support: honest recommendations and clear information.
• Long-term value: helping you buy once and enjoy for years.

Education: How to Choose the Right Persian Rug

Choose the Right Size First

Size is one of the biggest reasons people feel “something is off” in a room. Before you fall in love with a design, measure your space and decide how you want the rug to sit with furniture.

• Living rooms: a larger rug often looks more premium and “finished.”
• Dining rooms: ensure chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
• Bedrooms: choose coverage that feels warm underfoot when stepping out of bed.
• Hallways: consider runners that suit traffic flow and practicality.

Know the Materials (Wool vs Silk vs Blends)

Many authentic Persian rugs are wool, which offers excellent durability and comfort. Silk adds fine detail and shine, but requires more care. If you’re buying for a high-traffic family room, wool is usually the best all-round choice.

Style Matching: Classic, Tribal, Vintage or Modern?

Persian rugs range from elegant traditional medallions to more tribal, geometric patterns. A specialist helps you choose a look that complements your home’s existing palette — whether you want a bold centrepiece or a softer, timeless foundation.

What Makes a Rug “Authentic”?

Authentic handmade Persian rugs are hand-knotted or handwoven, often made from wool or silk, and show quality in their craftsmanship. While each rug is unique, a few general signs help:

• Clear, consistent pattern definition (especially in detailed areas)
• Strong structure and good finishing
• Materials that feel natural and premium (wool/silk)
• Handmade character — not perfectly “printed” or uniform

Why Buying From a Specialist Matters (Especially Online)

When you buy from a specialist, you reduce risk. Rugs are a considered purchase — size, colour, feel, and authenticity all matter. A specialist store helps you avoid common mistakes like buying the wrong size, choosing a style that doesn’t suit your space, or ending up with a rug that isn’t truly handmade.

At Shoparug, we focus on honest guidance and authentic handmade rugs — whether you visit us in-store or shop from anywhere in Australia online.
