Well chosen area rugs add color, beauty and comfort to any room. Rugs are essential interior design add-on elements, much like spices are to food. Matched rugs turn any room to a piece of art

Area carpets can be hand-tied, braided, woven, tufted, or machine made. While hand-tied rugs have always been considered the most valuable and a perfect investment to live with, the modern techniques used to create the new machine-made rugs position them as real challengers to the hand-made rugs.

Read on to learn about different styles, weaves, colors, prices, and patterns of area rugs. Then decide which is perfect for your room.

Choose by Room and Size

Homes and rooms come in different sizes. The rug fits into the specific room size, functionality and style.

You can choose one large area rug for a room, usually the rug is a bit smaller than the room, leaving a border around it, preferably equal on all sides. However, don’t be dogmatic, choose to please your eyes.

More than one rug in the room is an exquisite way to subdivide the room into distinct functional areas. It is desired to choose rugs that have common elements to inspire a sense of unity. It is possible to find rug sets that use same style, color and pattern. However, you can pick and choose area carpets that will match in pattern or color.

Let your imagination loose in choosing rugs for the kids’ rooms, for bed rooms, for the kitchen and for outdoors.

Rug Shapes

Rugs come in many shapes. The most popular shape is the rectangular shape, however other shapes such as oval, round, half circle and even octagon are available. Rug Runners plays a unique role in corridors, stairways and narrow passages.

Ways to Make Rugs

There are different ways to make rugs. The most popular are:

• Hand-knotted: A handmade rug; this is the method by which an Oriental or a Persian rug is constructed. A high quality handmade rug made from quality materials (usually sheep wool) is the most expensive yet longest lived area rug. The quality differentiators for a hand-knotted area rug are the quality of the wool, and the number of knots per square inch.


• Machine-made: machine-made rugs offer now a wide variety of quality area rugs and are made with a variety of natural and synthetic fibers. Price are affordable, and even though life expectancy is shorter than the life span of hand-made rugs, good care can keep a machine-made rug in good shape for many years.


• Hand-tool-tufted: This type of rug consists of yarn forced into a grid followed by an application of latex protection backing.

Wool or Synthetic Fiber

Although many other fibers are now available, wool was used in the earliest hand-made rugs 1500 years ago and it is still a desired fiber material. Wool area rugs are sturdy, wool is a flame retardant material and wool repels liquids, so occasional spills don’t develop into stains if immediate care is given.

The most cost effective area rug, providing wide selection, adequate life expectancy and the right price is a machine-made wool rug. However, wool rugs colors can fade and stains need to be taken care for immediately. For anyone busy (and who is not) and for the one who wants to get beautiful area rugs at affordable prices, the optimum choice is machine-made synthetic fiber area carpet.

Hand-made carpets, although expensive can be regarded as art items, much like paintings sculptures and antique furniture. So, they not only provide a special charm, they can also be considered as a very good investment.

Rugs Need Regular Care

With proper care quality rugs can last many years.

Wear, dust particles, moisture and moths can damage a carpet and shorten its life. Weekly vacuum cleaning is the best preventive remedy.

Rug pads decrease slipping and soften your walk. They extend the rug life and increase safety at home.

Rotate the rug every few months, so that the side that was exposed to the sun will now be in the shades. Inspect both sides of the rug for tears. On earliest detection of tears, bring the carpet to your local carpet expert for repair.
