Orange is the warmest colour in our vintage collection. An orange vintage rug ranges from soft apricot and burnt tangerine through terracotta and rust to deep copper. The distressed finish and the old pattern showing through make the colour feel earthy and lived in rather than loud.
Our orange vintage rugs are hand-knotted Persian carpets, usually 20 to 50 years old, cleaned, sheared and over-dyed in our own workshop. Many carry the natural warmth of old madder dyes. Every piece is one of a kind in its own shade.
Orange brings instant warmth and character to a room and pairs beautifully with white, cream, grey, dark blue and natural wood. Terracotta and rust are favourites for boho, Mediterranean and warm modern interiors. Every rug has its own video, which shows the real shade more accurately than the pictures. Free EU shipping and 30-day returns.
Terracotta and rust are surprisingly easy to live with. They behave like warm neutrals and pair with almost everything natural. Choose brighter tangerine only if the rug should be the clear focus of the room.
White, cream, grey and natural wood for a calm look. Dark blue or petrol for a strong contrast. Green for a natural, earthy combination.
Orange is warmer and more casual, red is deeper and more classic. Rust and terracotta sit between the two.
Living rooms and dining rooms, where warmth is welcome, and hallways as a runner. In bedrooms choose soft apricot rather than strong tangerine.
