Artistic rugs from the Second Golden Age of Persian Weaving are becoming rarer, especially as collectors begin to appreciate their artistic merit and unifying effects in their home interiors.<\/p>\n<p>They are still largely unknown as art. However, some people even remove their paintings and replace them with rugs, primarily Caucasian, for their enduring power and elemental, graphic nature. In modern settings, Caucasian rugs outperform contemporary art. When displayed as art, these pieces provide balance and harmony to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The growth of rug collections has occurred because art lovers are attracted to the inviting value of antique rugs compared to other art forms and the scarcity of high-calibre rugs still available. At the same time, the unstable nature of contemporary art has led many to acquire rugs considered rare and unique art pieces, ensuring that their investments are secure to withstand the tests of time and art market fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p>Collectors now recognise the profound emotional impact and unifying atmosphere that antique rugs have added to their residences. The combination of inspiring art, compatibility with contemporary decorations, and the impossibility of recreating these pieces produce a powerful attraction.<\/p>\n<p>Hanging a rug has several advantages. It becomes more visible, making it easier to appreciate the details. Although it still needs to be cleaned, it suffers less wear and tear.<\/p>\n<p>Ideal places to hang a rug:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Behind the bed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Hanging a rug behind the bed is the ideal scenario to combine a rug, as shown in this example. A carpet hung on the wall will also help with sound reverberation to keep the room quiet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fg-row\" style=\"display:flex;gap:16px;justify-content:center;align-items:flex-start;flex-wrap:wrap;margin:2.2em auto;\">\n<figure class=\"fig-auto-img\" style=\"margin:2.4em auto;text-align:center;\"><span class=\"fig-mat\" style=\"display:inline-flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;box-sizing:border-box;width:300px;height:300px;max-width:100%;background:#fdfdfb;border:1px solid rgba(34,26,18,.14);padding:14px;box-shadow:0 3px 20px rgba(34,26,18,.09);\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1600\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ee7237b939475c47fc40fd858e59c488.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"display:block;max-width:100%;max-height:100%;width:auto;height:auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ee7237b939475c47fc40fd858e59c488.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ee7237b939475c47fc40fd858e59c488-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ee7237b939475c47fc40fd858e59c488-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ee7237b939475c47fc40fd858e59c488-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ee7237b939475c47fc40fd858e59c488-350x467.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"fig-auto-img\" style=\"margin:2.4em auto;text-align:center;\"><span class=\"fig-mat\" style=\"display:inline-flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;box-sizing:border-box;width:300px;height:300px;max-width:100%;background:#fdfdfb;border:1px solid rgba(34,26,18,.14);padding:14px;box-shadow:0 3px 20px rgba(34,26,18,.09);\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"1313\" width=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pendurar.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"display:block;max-width:100%;max-height:100%;width:auto;height:auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pendurar.jpg 736w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pendurar-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pendurar-574x1024.jpg 574w, https:\/\/figalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pendurar-350x624.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Double-height walls<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Many homes built in recent years have double-height walls, mainly in entrances and larger rooms.
