Hide stains
Are there stains on your floor or carpet? You should use oriental rugs to hide those annoying stains. For ideal results you should use rugs with a short pile.
Kitchen and bathroom
You can decorate your bathroom and kitchen using the rugs. When placing the rugs you should ensure that you place them in areas where they aren’t exposed to water stream or cooking grease. To ensure that the rug lasts for a long time you should implement the policy that requires your family members to remove their shoes when they enter your home.
If you have an antique oriental rug you should avoid foot traffic on it. The best way of doing it is hanging the rug on the wall.
Bedroom
If you want the rug in your bedroom, you should place an area oriental rug under your bed or nightstand. For ideal results you should ensure that the rug is 18 inches past the edge of the queen or king size bed. If you have two small rugs you should place one at the foot of the bed and the other in the seating area of the bedroom.
Dining room table
You should place the rug at the centre of your dining room. You should ensure that the rug is large enough so that when you pull the chairs out, all the four legs of the chair are still on the rug.
