Gabbeh Rugs in a Luxury Home Abroad — From a Double-Height Living Room to the Bathroom

Gabbeh Rugs Delivered to a Home Abroad — A Thoughtful Approach to Texture and Interior Design

This article features Gabbeh rugs delivered to a customer’s home outside Japan.

Our first reaction to the photographs was how thoughtfully the customer had chosen each rug.

The rugs feel like an integral part of the interior. Texture, open space, lighting and the number of colours all work together.

What particularly caught our attention was the use of Gabbeh not only on the floor, but also as a wall hanging and in the bathroom.

It is a way of bringing the texture of handwoven textiles into daily life, beyond simply choosing a floor covering.

Choosing Gabbeh for a Modern Interior

Traditional motifs can become a strong visual feature in a modern home. Their scale, colours and placement help determine how prominently they stand out.

Here, the customer chose understated colours on a natural ivory ground and designs with plenty of open space. The result feels exceptionally composed.

A timber ceiling above the double-height room, black metalwork, concrete-effect flooring and a predominantly white kitchen form the setting.

The soft texture of handwoven wool balances these different materials and brings warmth to the room.

Details We Particularly Admired

  • Natural ivory keeps the space feeling light.
  • Wool contrasts beautifully with the concrete-effect floor.
  • The motifs provide gentle accents within a restrained palette.
  • The rugs complement the black metalwork.
  • The whole room feels cohesive, with each rug considered as part of the space.
  • Different Gabbeh rugs are used on the floor, on the wall and in the bathroom.

Gabbeh as a Wall Hanging

We were particularly impressed by the rug displayed as a tapestry.

Rugs can be enjoyed as textile art as well as floor coverings.

In these photographs, gentle gradations of natural ivory and brown give depth and warmth to a modern, largely monochrome interior.

The arrangement reflects an interest in the whole interior, as well as an appreciation of Gabbeh rugs themselves.

The Same Careful Eye in the Bathroom

The use of a Gabbeh in the bathroom was another memorable detail.

Its natural ivory ground fits easily into the white, hotel-inspired setting, adding a soft and restful note.

Handwoven wool brings warmth to a washbasin area that might otherwise feel rather cool. The result gives an everyday space a more inviting character.

The attention to detail carries the same visual language throughout the home.
