After sharing the recent design post on seven items to bring charm and texture into the home, there was a large request for more vintage Turkish rugs! I mentioned in the post how a well-worn Turkish rug brings so much life to a room.
A reason why I chose Turkish rugs is that these ones, in particular, have a short pile to them and have a wonderful over-dyed look. I’ve purchased all 4 rugs in the home now from the same shop and have been incredibly impressed with the quality.
About These Turkish Rugs
A little information on these rugs. I source from the same dealer out of Turkey as I’ve been incredibly happy with the quality and speed in which they’re sent. He sources all of his rugs in Anatolia, Turkey. He takes them, cleans them professionally, cuts the pile short, and then he soaks them in hot water to make them over-dyed.
The patina of the rugs give a room a really great feeling and don’t overwhelm a space. I want my rugs to complement a room, not dominate it.
The other great thing with these rugs is that they’re pretty heavy (especially the area rugs) and don’t move much at all so I haven’t had to purchase any pads (though some may argue that I should!). The short pile also means that when things get spilled on them, it’s still easy to clean — even when our cats get sick on them!
On his shop, he also has some great vintage Kilim Rugs and Herki Runners as well.
All of these rugs below ship free to the U.S. and are sent via DLS — every time I’ve order they have come in around four-five business days.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
