Sizing a Square Aztec Rug
A square aztec rug solves a problem rectangles cannot: it centers a room that is itself square or close to it, and it sits cleanly under round tables and symmetrical furniture groupings. Desert Matrix works especially well this way, because its grid of small squares and its framed dashed border read evenly in every direction, so the eye finds balance no matter where you stand.
To size one, measure the seating or table you want to anchor and leave even margins on all sides. A 6 by 6 grounds a breakfast nook or a compact sitting area, while an 8 by 8 or larger can define an open-plan zone on its own. Hand-knotting keeps the geometry precise at any of these dimensions, each knot tied by hand on the loom so the alternating ivory and charcoal squares stay sharp and the pattern holds for years.
