Features that Make Luxury Traditional Rugs San Francisco

Symmetry is most often defined by using repeated patterns and special placement of knots to create symmetrical quality. Here are other features and the methods most often used to create symmetry in area rugs:

– Organized Patterns – Patterns are created on area rugs in a thoughtfully placed way to develop symmetry. Then, patterns are repeated for visual interest

– Cartoon Mapping – One technique used to create symmetry on area rugs is cartoon mapping, which means using graph paper and charting colors and designs that knots need to be created in

– Linear patterns – Patterns can be on the edges of the area rug, or within the rug design itself, but they’re kept in the straight line formation. Linear patterns can also be placed in crisscross arrangements for extra interest

– Corner patterns – Usually different than linear patterns used, these are a different pattern design placed one in each corner. Symmetry is created, and this helps to give the design improved focus

– Varying Patterns – Patterns can be varied, but still complementary to one another to keep the design interesting, but also to create a truly original design

– Use of Knots – Knots can be used as well as colored designs and repeated patterns. The use of knots creates both textural interest and visual interest
