Persian rugs improve comfort and look of your house. For you to buy the right rugs you need to consider a number of factors that include:
The design of the rug
The rugs come in different designs that can confuse you. For an ideal look, go for a design that not only gels perfectly with your house, but also enhances the character of the house. When making the purchase, go for a design that doesn’t subdue the look of your furniture. If your furniture, curtains, and walls have plenty of colorful motifs, go for a rug with a toned-down design in order to balance the look.
Oriental rug materials
The rugs are made from a wide range of materials that include: wool, silk, cotton, jute, and others. Your choice should be informed by your budget and need. If you have a large budget go for the natural materials as they are beautiful to look at and last for a long time. If operating on a budget, go for oriental rugs made from synthetic materials. When looking for rugs to place in high traffic areas go for synthetic rugs. While they might not be good to look at, they are tough thus can withstand high foot traffic.
Color of the area rug
As you know, the color of the area rug should complement your home décor. When making the purchase pay close attention to the area you want to place the rug. If placing it in high traffic areas, go for a rug with dark colors as it will effectively cover dust, stains, and spots. Rug experts advise against using brightly-colored rugs in the living room. This is because bright colors overwhelm a room. They also easily get dirty. To be on the safe side, go for a color that looks good in your house and also copes with your home area demands.
Durability of the antique rugs
No one wants to go to the rug store every now and then to buy a new rug. Due to this, you should pay attention to the durability of the antique rug. For the rug to last for a long time, it should be made from high-quality materials. Jute, coir, sisal, grass fibers and other synthetic materials produce cheap and durable rugs. Unfortunately, they don’t retain their looks for a long time. For the rugs to give you a long service, install them in the right areas. For example, place silk rugs in the bedroom and other low traffic areas.
