Do you know what makes a space feel truly warm and welcoming? It’s the rugs. They are one of the most important pieces in home decor, setting the tone for your entire space.

Rugs are often divided into two types: handmade and machine made. Each has its own charm, benefits, and considerations.

In this article, we’ll help you understand the key differences between the two and guide you in choosing the right one for your home.

At Ramsha Home, we offer both handmade and machine made rugs to suit every taste and need. You can check out our full collection to see what fits your style best.

Now let us take you through the details so you can make an informed choice.

What Are Handmade Rugs?

Handmade rugs are created by skilled artisans who weave or knot each piece by hand using traditional techniques. These rugs often take weeks or even months to make, depending on the size and pattern.

Every rug is unique, showing the small details and slight imperfections that come with handcrafting. They are usually made from natural materials like wool, silk, or cotton, and are known for their rich textures and detailed designs.

What Are Machine Made Rugs?

Machine made rugs are produced using automated looms that quickly and efficiently create patterns based on digital designs. These rugs are made in bulk and follow a consistent process, which helps in keeping the quality uniform and the cost lower.

At Ramsha Home, we have a dedicated manufacturing facility where both our design team and skilled workers collaborate to bring each rug to life.

The facility includes a separate dyeing area, weaving area, and inspection area to make sure every rug meets our quality standards before reaching your home. This setup allows us to offer a wide range of designs while keeping control over every stage of production.
