Rug designs

Remember also that the terrain plays a great part in designs, for example Caucasian rugs are woven in a mountainous region and the rugs are geometrical. As you travel southwards you find that as the terrain alters, so do the designs.

A significant point being, that you can only design what you have seen or what you have been taught, handed down from the previous generation.

Everytime you look at a rug, just see if it is symmetrical; to your surprise you will find that, although at first glance it is, on closer scrutiny—the medallion is six inches out of alignment, side motifs differ, etc., but what simplicity and charm, no boring, repetitive designs to dull your life.
