WHY CHOOSE AREA RUGS TYPES OF AREA RUGS BEST ROOMS FOR AREA RUGS WHY CHOOSE AREA RUGS

 

Why Choose Area Rugs

Aside from providing practical comfort, area rugs contribute a design element to décor. Quite often, an area rug alone serves as the foundational centerpiece for a room’s design theme, uniting color, pattern and texture in a way that balances the space with furnishings and accessories.

Rugs also serve to define conversational areas in rooms with multiple seating arrangements as well as aid in guiding foot traffic throughout the home.

TYPES OF AREA RUGS

 

Types of Area Rugs

The range of area rug styles is immense and includes patterns, sizes, fiber, color and construction (weave) technique. Of these, construction is the most important because it determines a rug’s cost and use. Before you start shopping for area rugs, know these basic weave types:

Hand Knotted

The centuries old weaving technique of traditional Oriental rugs results in a dense, tight construction that’s durable and holds its value. Hand-knotting is reflected in the cost.

Hand Loomed

Weavers manually pass yarn through a loom. Although still classified as handmade, this weave type is less expensive than hand knotted.

Hand Tufted

Yarn is tied to a fabric backing via a tufting tool. Both cut (tufted) and looped pile are achieved with this technique

Machine Loomed

These rugs offer lots of style variation, including precision patterns, and are typically the most affordable.

Flatweave

This weaving technique creates a low-profile surface with no pile. Typically made of cotton or wool. A key feature of flatweave rugs is they’re reversible.

Best Rooms for Area Rugs

Area rugs can go anywhere in your home. The key to matching room to rug is by assessing how much foot traffic there is. Rugs made of wool, synthetic or polypropylene fibers are ideal for high traffic areas like hallways, family rooms and kitchens. Of these fibers, polypropylene is the most stain- and fade-resistant as well as the most durable. Delicate rug fibers like silk, viscose and cotton hold up better in low traffic bedrooms and dining rooms. Natural rug fibers like jute and sisal fall somewhere in the middle for durability.
