Soumak refers to a style of weaving as much as a place of origin, though the name does derive from the village of Shemaka, located in the rug-making center of the Caucasus. Indeed, the Soumak weaving technique is used heavily by tribal weavers of Caucasian rugs, but historically it is also found in tribal regions of Anatolia, Afghanistan, and southern and northwestern Persia.

? Choosing the right rug can transform your living room!

• Size matters: Make sure your rug fits the seating area all furniture legs should rest on it or at least the front legs.
• Style & color: Pick a rug that complements your furniture. Neutral rugs work well for bold furniture, while colorful rugs add vibrancy to neutral rooms.
• Material: For high-traffic areas, choose durable materials like wool or synthetic fibers.
• Texture: Plush rugs add warmth, while flat-weave rugs are easier to maintain.
