A rug is material used to cover a specific area of floor space in a room. Area rugs are used to dress a particular area of the floor and add a distinct style to the room, for decoration. The rugs could be in a single color, Indian durries or hand made area rugs. They are fashion statements that set apart certain furniture from the rest of the room. The rugs add to the desired look of the room and improve furniture arrangement.

Area rugs are used to add grace and charm to a room. They are expected to be sturdy enough to bear daily cleaning and usage. The color of the rug should match the wall color to enhance the overall effect and ambience of the room. Rustic area rugs have motifs and designs that are typically rustic. These are a necessary buy in case the homeowner has a rustic theme layout in any room.

My friends recently purchased a lake home near ours, in need of a lot of work. It was previously used as a weekend home by various members of a family, and consequently some of the much needed regular maintenance was not taken care of. My friends’ first task was to select quality floor coverings.

There are many reasons to want to purchase an area rug for your home. Maybe the living room is too large and a break in the floor area will give a spectacular effect on it. Or maybe a room has a very light color on the floor and something darker will make it look better.

The value of your area rugs and carpets will, of course, depend on their quality, size, type and style. However, whatever they have cost, they are an asset worth maintaining and cleaning well. There are two reasons for that. Firstly, the pile of a rug or carpet can harbor lots of dirt, dust, mites and other particles and insects. Regular cleaning will help to keep such infestations and debris to a minimum, which is good for your family’s domestic health. Secondly, the rug will not only look better but its life will be preserved.

Gazing at a fine Persian rug, one cannot help but become lost in the beauty and wonder that is true art. Art that is made by the peasant, enjoyed by the masses and prized by kings and the elite in every society. A Persian rug is from what is known today as modern day Iran. These types of rugs have been made and prized now for thousands of years. At first Persian rugs were born of necessity and the need to cover an often earthen floor. The kilims or flat weave rugs are an example of the utilitarian aspect of many rugs.

Area rugs can play an important role in changing an entire room. An area rug placed on a diagonal in a room can give the illusion of spaciosness. In a large room grouping furniture around an area rug helps “ground” your furniture, and define a specific space. Place an area rug under your dining room table to add warmth to your space, but be sure to place a large enough rug so your chairs slide in and out on the rug without going off. About two additional feet on all sides should be sufficient. Another interesting idea is using a smaller area rug in your bathroom instead of bath mats. This can add continuity and interest to a large or small space. These days area rugs come in all shapes, sizes, patterns, and materials.

Some of our furniture, fixtures and home decors at home have been passed down to us as heirlooms: divans, grandfather’s clocks, carpets, rocking chairs, chests, and others. More than their price value, these items have accumulated intrinsic and sentimental values as well. Therefore, it is important that we know how to take care and maintain these items in the good condition.
