Flat woven Indian rugs require less labor and are, therefore, among the less expensive options. Several types of flat woven rugs are available, as follows:

 

Soumacs. A durable floor covering whose special weaving technique makes the rugs reversible.

 

Chain Stitched.  These rugs are characterized by intricate needlework and floral designs in a wide range of color schemes and hues that lend themselves to both informal and formal settings.

 

Dhurries. The striking designs and colors of Dhurries often resemble the rugs crafted by American Navajo Indians. India is the leading Durries manufacturer of the world. Durries are often used as decorative accents in informal settings such as dens, playrooms and home offices. Durries are an integral part of the Rugs of India promotion and campaign.
