Low Pile & Flat Weave Rugs

Flat and Low Pile Rugs: Durable, Beautiful, and Full of Story
Looking for a rug that adds soul to your space without overpowering it? Our flat and low pile rugs are all about lived-in beauty and practical ease. From hand-knotted Moroccan runners to vintage Turkish kilims, these pieces are often one-of-a-kind, crafted decades ago with natural fibers like wool and cotton. Bonus: their low profile means they're naturally durable, great for layering, and ideal for high-traffic areas.

What Counts as Low Pile?
Flatweaves (like kilims) and low pile rugs are characterized by their thin construction, usually under ¼ inch thick. This makes them lightweight, easy to move, and perfect under doors or in tight spots like hallways, bathrooms, or kitchens. But don't mistake low pile for low quality - many of our most intricate, hand-woven pieces fall in this category.

Where to Use Flat or Low Pile Rugs

• Kitchen & Bathroom: Low pile = low risk for moisture issues. Try a 2x3 rug in front of the sink or a runner along your prep space or vanity. Our wool rugs are best for this as they are a natural antimicrobial.

• Dining Room: Chairs glide easily over low pile, making meals less fussy.

• Entryways & Hallways: Low profile and flat weave rugs won't bunch or trip.

• Offices: Easier on rolling chairs, with a clean, unfussy aesthetic.

Why Vintage + Low Pile is a Power Combo
Many vintage rugs were woven low on purpose - both for practical use and as a reflection of their region's weaving traditions. They're easier to clean, less likely to snag, and age beautifully. Our curated selection includes pieces that have already stood the test of time, making them ideal for everyday living without sacrificing design integrity.
