I love the look of a kilim rug-the colors and patterns are beautiful.
I just don't like how flimsy they are and easy to trip on.
So they use the rugs to cover chairs

and ottomans.
What a great addition to a room.

I adore furniture covered in kilim. I bought one to cover a wingback, but my husband complained about the feel. I ended up using it as a dining table cover. Eventually, I'll probably cover my large ottoman with it.
