Area oriental rugs are great in decorating your home. When buying them you need to be cautious and ensure that you buy the ones that will be great for your home.
Factors to consider when buying area oriental rugs
Color: this is the probably the most important factor that you should consider. What is the most dominant color in your room? If the room has plenty of bright colors, you should go for a rug with neutral colors. Such a rug will balance the look of the house. If on the other hand the room has plenty of soft, neutral colors, you should add a splash of color and interest by going for a rug with dramatic colors and design.
Size: what is the size of the room that you want to place the rug? To decide the right size to go for you need to know how to calculate the area. If you are placing the rug in your bedroom, you should place the rug at the center. At the same time you should ensure that the same amount of floor is visible on two or three sides.
Special effects: if you want the rug to be the focal point of the room you should go for a rug with a medallion. A medallion is the most popular design for traditional oriental rugs. If the medallion will be hidden by the furniture, you shouldn’t bother with it—you should go for a rug with an allover design.
If your room has an early American theme, you should go for a round braided oriental rug.
Cost: just like everything else, the cost of the rug is an important factor to consider. The cost of the rug depends on the fiber used in making it. Expensive rugs are those made from expensive fibers where the most expensive rugs are those made from wool.
If you are operating on a tight budget you should go for a rug made from less expensive fibers such as silk, sisal, cotton and jute. When shopping for the rugs you should look for discount rug stores. It’s also wise to go for stores selling wholesale oriental rugs.
Regardless of where you buy from, you should pay close attention to the warranty and return policy of the rug.
