Traditional Rugs
A traditional rug is defined by classic-inspired patterns often associated with Persian and Oriental styles: medallions, borders, and ornamental details. Some have a timeworn look reminiscent of vintage rugs. Our selection includes rugs for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms in subtle or richer colours. Maison Olive is based in Beloeil, Quebec, with this collection available online in Canada.
How to choose a traditional rug
Start with a size that suits your furniture and walking space, then compare the fibre and care instructions for each rug.
- Size: in a living room, place at least the front legs of the seating on the rug. Under a dining table, leave enough space to pull out the chairs while keeping them on the rug. Sizes around 5 × 8 ft and 8 × 10 ft are useful guides; exact dimensions vary by model.
- Fibre: wool, polyester, polypropylene, or blends, depending on the rug. Check the composition and pile height on each product page.
- Care: follow the manufacturer's instructions for vacuuming and treating spills.
