If you have the prettiest floors in your home, may they be slate, marble or plain hardwood, you want them to maintain their finish. Area rugs are a great way to protect floors without covering them up completely. The decorative qualities of area rugs are obvious - these pretty things can add some much-needed accent to any room in your house that has wall-to-wall carpet. You can find the perfect rug for any decorating style.
For rooms with a rustic ambience, a braided rug would work to your advantage. Although it has a country feel, an oval braid rug is also slightly sophisticated. Careful vacuuming is a must with this type of rug, since a powerful vacuum can loosen the threads that hold the braids together. You can opt for a rag rug if you are decorating a loosely themed country style room. Most rag rugs are machine washable. However, if you can simply shake out the dirt and avoid washing the rug, you will help it last longer. If you are looking for a rug that goes well with a formal dcor, you may prefer an Oriental rug. While it is common to find floral designs for these rugs, they look best and most beautiful in the usual geometric patterns. Be very careful when maintaining a true Oriental rug. Do not, in any case, vacuum these rugs, and always read the care tag before you even think of cleaning them. It is best to leave it to the professionals rather than take matters into your own hands should you somehow discover that your Oriental rug is conspicuously missing a care tag.
Asian inspired rooms often look great with an area rug made from natural fibers, such as sisal or hemp. It is rare to see rugs like these that come in bright colors as they usually come in neutral shades of tan. There is not much you need to consider when cleaning natural fiber rugs. You can simply shake your rug out to remove dust and debris. Many people make the unfortunate mistake of using soap and water to try to remove more significant stains. However, water will just make a bigger stain. What you would want to use would be a special cleaning agent that is made particularly for these rugs made of natural fibers.
If you have considered all of the above rug types and are not interested, maybe a woven rug would do? These rugs come in different designs, may they be powerful geometric designs, resplendent striped designs or simple, solid colors.
They look right at home in family rooms, children's bedrooms, or kitchens.
