The Truth About Area Rugs

By Pete Wilson

If there's one item that can complement other furnishings and can change the look of a room in a snap that would have to be an area rug.

Area rugs are as widely available and diverse as candies in a candy store. You search for area rugs and it can either be an overwhelming experience (there are so many kinds!) or an enjoyable one (you want to buy everything!). The collections appeal to any preference. If you have an idea of the perfect area rug in your home, you can be assured that you will find what you have envisioned. If not, you'll see something that almost looks like what you want.

Today, online and offline rug shops feature a range of choice that makes it almost impossible to visit two homes that have the same type of area rugs in the creativity of coloring and texture. Today, you can choose area rugs for your living rooms, bedrooms and family rooms exactly according to your requirements. One room might have a square woolen rug, another an oval synthetic rug while still another room in the same house will have a round braided rug.

Outdoor area rugs, one used for the patio, backyard and porch are usually synthetic and are sturdy enough to fight off the harsh weather conditions. Lightweight rugs are usually used as a floor covering for the kitchen and bathroom, where they can be easily soiled but are easily washable for an instant cleaning solution. In a day or two, these rugs made of cotton can be placed back in their designated areas. Wool on the other hand, a popular and soft material from sheep's hair is used for high-quality rugs decorated in areas like the living room. Not all wool-made rugs though are expensive. There are a number that are considered budget-friendly.

If you look at the rugs sold in the market, there are too many to choose from. Every taste, preference, budget, etc. can be met. Shopping is not limited too with going to a home improvement store. You can buy rugs online from numerous suppliers and home decors online stores.

Rug stores stock a variety of rugs from designer rugs and casual designs to coral and cayman rugs; from botanical to naturalistic and from traditional to hunter or contemporary rugs. With such a wide assortment available, you are sure to find one that suits you perfectly whatever your personal preference and however large or small your budget may be.
