If something seems to be missing in an otherwise well-decorated room, chances are an area rug will be your solution. If an area rug is on your wish list, don’t be afraid to spend a little extra to get exactly what you want. Rugs are a wise investment, providing years of service and pleasure.

Nowadays, the most sought-after area rugs are those that have modern designs. Whether the homeowner has a limited or huge budget for the rugs, he or she would want to shop for rugs that have striking designs and patterns or colorful colors. Modern designs of rugs include flowers, bold and cheerful colors, stripes, or anything that will definitely make an area of the home stand out. In general a modern piece is geometric and minimalist in design. Over the years, modern rugs are generating more sales than other style. Because of this, manufacturers are making sure that they are able to comply with every consumer’s demand. In the current market, there are many designs that top the sales. These include wool felt and leather rugs that have botanical patterns, exquisite wool rug designs, and hand-knotted rugs that are designed with flowers.

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.

Oriental rugs. These rugs have always been a symbol of wealth, and rightfully so, as they’re quite expensive. They’re a great investment, as their value never decreases and sometimes increases. The purchase of an Oriental rug should be preceded by careful study of the varieties available. Most are handmade. Silk Orientals are often woven with real gold threads, adding to the value. Wool Orientals are less expensive, though still a good investment.

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.

In addition to the compelling styles that are outlined above, you should make sure to check out other types of area rugs from around the world. Flokah rugs, for instance, are designed in Greece. Their thick piles add a plush element to any room. They are also bursting with Mediterranean flair that you’re sure to love! Tibetan rugs are also great options to consider. Stick with a traditional square tiger pattern to imbue your home with a mystical and timeless feel. No matter what type of area rug you ultimately choose, it is sure to reflect your personal taste and impeccable style. Above all else, you will have a lot of fun selecting rugs for your home!
