What is an over-dyed rug<\/a>? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we thought it would be a good idea to recap what an over-dyed rug is in the first place. To summarize, an over-dyed rug has had its color transformed. Through a meticulous dyeing process, this changes the look from the artisan\u2019s original design to something slightly different. This transformation often gives the rug a distressed or weathered look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When choosing a new over-dyed rug, it\u2019s essential to consider the psychology of color. We\u2019ve mentioned this in previous blogs, and it bears repeating here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Color can bring forth emotions. Color can also have an unintended effect on a room. For example, if you painted the walls in one of your rooms a vibrant red, it will evoke feelings of passion and possibly anger. It\u2019s not a relaxing color, whereas blues and neutral tones bring to mind calmness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the perfect color for your over-dyed rug will entirely depend on what you want to happen in that space. Is it a living room where you unwind? Is it an office space where you focus? Or is it a dining area where you gather with family and friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
