Owl symbology

The owl is one of the most famous birds in the world, especially when it comes to their skills that help them in nightlife, such as their hearing and vision being super clear and intense. Because it is so popular, it takes on different meanings and associations in different cultures.
You can imagine these meanings when using this bird as inspiration for your decor, but new associations can also be made to bring the owl ornament closer to your personal style.

What is most associated with these little birds is their aura of mystery, their wisdom, intelligence that comes from their contact with the moon. This is because, in Greek mythology, his habit of sleeping during the day and waking up in the moonlight at night made people believe in the clairvoyant powers of the owl and became the mascot of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

And the Greeks not only saw the owl as a small animal that could see mystics and occults, the aborigines also saw the owl as a kind of oracle to receive mystical wisdom from the forces of the moon.

Another culture that has the owl as one of the important symbols is the Hindu. The goddess Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity and wisdom, is also symbolized by an owl, but in this particular case a white owl, which also symbolizes peace.

Different types of owl rug to choose from!

Among the rugs available, there are types for every space, occasion or preference! While the arts and crafts are super trendy, industrial rugs come in a variety of colors and patterns that anyone can enjoy. And owls are becoming more and more popular in these prints.

1. Industrial owl mat with natural composition

Wool, cotton and velvet carpets are the most popular and in demand. This is because their durability is much greater than synthetic carpets. But they are also more expensive, which makes access difficult.
These rugs are known for their unmatched softness and also have good versatility, in different sizes, styles and textures, flat or with prints.

2. Owls made from industrial synthetic owls

In the synthetic carpets, the best known are acrylic (a cheaper alternative to wool), but of course those made of polyester win in terms of versatility. This is because it can appear with different textures and heights of the thread, from the lowest to the so-called “shaggy”, with long thread and super hairy and soft.

In the case of owls, they often appear on the shorter carpets, which make patterns and clearer designs easier. In our gallery you will find different styles, with smaller or larger sizes, that take up a large part of the space.

3. Handmade carpet

Handmade rugs are a favorite of any home decor, especially when it is specially made for a specific environment. Certainly the most popular ones are crochet hooks, but there are several other lines that can be used on this garment. In addition, woven natural fiber and patchwork carpets, mesh cutouts or pompoms are super creative and great alternatives to the more expensive carpets.

These latter options are also great for those who want to transform their surroundings into a place full of inspiration, color and attention to sustainability issues by using alternative materials that do not harm the environment as much.
