Before you start shopping for rugs, it is recommended that you first get the exact measurements of the area where you will be placing your rugs. You can mark the important areas and evaluate the volume of space in the particular room. You also need to know where you need to place the area rug you will be purchasing and evaluate whether it is feasible to place an rug in that particular area. If not, find another space where are rugs can be best placed.

No matter what style of wool rug you have, you should always take steps in order to prevent it from getting worn out. Do not put a special wool rug in an area of your house that is frequently walked through or that gets trampled. Be sure to put it in a location where everyone is able to see it, yet in an area that will prevent it from getting worn out. If you are really serious about preventing your rug from getting damaged, you could even consider buying rug-pads in order to ensure that you keep the bottom of your rug from getting torn.

Inlaid rugs. Here’s where your imagination can take over. Anything your mind can conjure, a good carpet designer can manifest. Doodle on a piece of paper until you come up with at least a semblance of what you want, and your designer can take it from there. Geometric shapes, florals, birds, stars and stripes, fans, your name or initials¾there are no rules. Pricing here again depends on the quality of the carpet and the complexity of the design.

If you were to travel back to colonial times, you’d undoubtedly encounter braided rugs in many homes. Braided rugs were popular mainstays back in the old days, since they were easy to make and helped to provide a soft, comfortable surface on which to walk.

If you are going for a country-style theme in your home, you can’t go wrong with braided rugs. They bring an air of old-time charm to any home.

It’s not the seventies anymore; however, shag rugs are making a comeback in a very big way. Unlike their older counterparts, though, these area rugs are bursting with vibrant style and aren’t tacky at all. In fact, their plush, soft designs make them wonderful options for a wide variety of different situations. There’s something to be said for using as many different textures as possible in the home; to that end, a high quality shag rug can be a very welcome addition to your overall design scheme. Make sure to invest in a shag rug that boasts topnotch craftsmanship for best results.

The black wool rug works best for high traffic areas like the living room, as wool is a great natural material that is tough and hard-wearing, yet remains very soft and comfortable for the feet. Wool is also a natural fiber which means that it is safer than synthetic materials. Did you know that wool is naturally flame resistant? This makes it a great rug to be placed in living rooms with fireplaces. A small errant spark that may accidentally land on your wool rug will burn itself out.
