Rustic Paula Turkish Handwoven Kilim Runner - 2'9'' x 9'7''

A column of small outlined diamonds in navy, rust, and teal sits between patchwork bands on a gray ground. Designer-friendly and endlessly layerable, it is a tribal kilim runner for eclectic, global, and mid-century modern rooms.

Natural dyes, hand-spun wool, and a traditional flat weave give this kilim rug its soft, lively color and its crisp geometric patterning. The hand-spun wool takes natural dye unevenly in the best way, so the whole design, including the column of small outlined diamonds between patchwork bands, shows subtle, lively variation in color. The flat weave is a good partner for Scandinavian and Nordic rooms, where handmade texture warms clean lines and pale wood.

The word kilim is Turkish, and the flat-woven rugs that carry the name come from a tradition of nomadic and village weaving in Anatolia. Today the kilim remains prized for the same reasons: honest craft, vivid natural color, and designs with a story behind them.

With its weathered color and tribal geometry, this runner suits Southwestern, cabin, and rustic halls, and warms a coastal or organic modern one just as easily. Use it as a hallway runner rug, a kitchen runner, or an entryway runner that welcomes guests.
