Gabbeh Rugs

Gabbeh (Gebbeh) rugs are made in two distinct types, colored and natural. The ‘natural’ Gabbehs are generally made from undyed yarn in various shades of white, cream, grey and brown. The important element about true Gabbeh designs is that they are in fact not ‘designed’ but rather primitive and spontaneous. Small stylized animal motifs are scattered throughout the field adding visual interest and graphic appeal. In addition to the classic and natural Gabbeh rugs, ECARPETGALLERY carries an array of modern Gabbeh carpets in varying shades of green, blue, silver, orange and pink. The quality is made to be hard-wearing with the majority of our Gabbeh rugs featuring a long pile as its name suggests - the word means ‘unclipped’ or ‘long-haired’.

How to style a Gabbeh Rug?

The Gabbeh carpet’s monochromatic themes can either add a pop of color to your room or balance out those busy patterns. That’s why we believe that a handmade Gabbeh rug can be at once classic, modern, chic fun .. all the while representing your interior design style. Here are some tips to follow when decorating your space with a solid carpet. For starters, that color you love — put it everywhere! If you love a rich sage green, opt for a handmade green Gabben rug along with an accent wall and plants. It can be your main shade and everything else will be complimentary: beige, grey, black, wood and ivory. In a bedroom, a tonal rug takes on a more intimate role. Placed beneath the bed, a Gabbeh rug softens the environment and encourages a sensory connection the moment one's feet touch step out of bed each morning. We adore layering textures, so a plush solid and tonal rug can be layered with contrasting materials, like a woven throw or velvet pillows, inviting a tactile symphony.
