Their origin is tribal nomadic, but most members of the tribes have settled in villages in the last decades. Typical for most Turkoman carpets is their geometric design made of wide borders and a repeating inner field with symbols called "Gul" The design of the Gul and the borders tell a lot, which tribe of Turkoman made the rug. Most Turkmen rugs found are between 4 x 6 ft. and 8 x 11 ft. The design is perfect for interiordesign styles like Industrial. Victorian, Vintage, Ethno, Bohemian, Art Deco, Arts & Crafts, Biedermeier, Jugendstil and Hollywood Regency. Interior designers prefer these rugs due to their reduced color sheme and all-over design.
