A beautiful area rug is the perfect addition to your interior design. There are plenty of different colors and styles to choose between, and it is easy to find something that blends with your tastes and current décor.

The Benefits of an Area Rug

Area rugs have several benefits when it comes to interior decorating. They can act as a calming area that balances out a colorful room, or they can be a strong focal point or accent piece with bolder patterns. On the practical end, they provide some extra cushion and comfort on your feet while walking and some warmth in the colder seasons.

Types of Area Rugs

The following list outlines some of the more popular kinds of area rugs:

• Persian Rugs: A genuine Persian rug is handwoven in Iran, historically known as the Persian Empire. Not to be mistaken for a Persian design that could be produced in any oriental rug-weaving country. Persian rugs are known for their tight weaving, thick pile, bright, colorful designs, and elaborate patterns. They act as a bolder focal point in a room and, because of their natural dyes, tend to look better with age.
• Flokati Rugs: These rugs have been hand-woven in Greece for centuries. They are very soft and durable, often made from sheep wool. Flokati rugs typically have a 3-4 inch long pile, and they blend well with any kind of interior design.
• Contemporary Rugs: Contemporary rugs are typically used to complement a modern interior style. These rugs typically use sharp or unusual shapes and bright colors. They can be designed to enhance your room’s features such as wallpaper or curtains.
• Oriental Rugs: Oriental rugs are produced in China, India, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Romania and a few other countries. They can be made from wool, silk, or other higher-end materials. This creates a price range so that you can choose something that is within your budget.

Cleaning Your Area Rugs

Vacuuming is a quick fix and the first step in maintaining your rug on a weekly basis. It is also important to call a professional regularly for the following reasons:

• Area rugs trap the food particles, dirt, and hair in the air. When they miss a professional cleaning, they are so saturated with these particles that they can no longer trap new ones.
• The buildup of dust mites, microbes, and irritants can be harmful to our health (especially for people with allergies and asthma).
