Kilims and flatweave rugs feature tightly interlaced warp and weft threads, creating a flat, pile-free surface. Typically crafted on horizontal looms, this technique results in sharp geometric patterns. Lighter and softer than pile rugs, kilims serve versatile roles such as sofa covers, drapes, pillows, tablecloths, and wall hangings, offering both decorative appeal and practical insulation against cold temperatures.
