Flat weave kilim rugs are perfect for adding organic tactile sensations to a dining room, living room, bedroom, home office, private library, front room, family room, game room, playroom, bedroom, study, studio, or sitting room. Flat weave rugs are woven on a loom, rather than knotted. They are created by interlocking warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) threads. Types of oriental flat woven carpet include kilim, soumak, plain weave and tapestry weave. Types of European flat woven carpets include Venetian, Dutch, damask, list, haircloth and ingrain. Often crafted from either wool, cotton, the materials used to make flat weaves can vary. Some are made with linen, jute, silk, hemp and animal hair. Because these pieces are hand woven instead of knotted, they do not have a pile and they\'re thinner than knotted rugs.

Afghanistan is well-known for their intricately woven kilims and prayer rugs with delicate floral patterns while the Navajos in the American Southwest are known for their striped and vibrantly colored flat weave rugs. Flat weave carpets have been used not only as floor coverings, but also utilized as wall hangings, bed coverings, throws, and used for reupholstering furniture!\"
