Consider following guidelines to choose and buy your rug:

  • If redecorating an already furnished room, choose a rug to pick up the colors used in your furnishing patterns
  • Paint or paper the walls in colors found in the rug when color coordinating.
  • Look for a rug that has commonality with the existing color of the walls.
  • A rug with a bold, overall design can be the focal point of a room with a chair and sofa in solid or subdued patterns.
  • Light colored rugs make a room look more spacious, and deeper colors lend coziness to a room.
  • For floor rugs wool is usually a preferred choice as it resists daily wear better than synthetics. Wool has many wonderful qualities- deep, rich color tones, high durability and relative ease of care. For more information you can read article Advantages of Wool over Synthetic Fibers.
  • Silk rugs are better used for walls, throws etc. Living rooms are ideal to showcase silk rugs.
  • Chromium dyes are strong and deliver consistency and durability of color.
  • Vegetable dyes give the rug a patina of color, a casual look that is very attractive.
  • Let your decorating style determine your rug shape.
  • Don’t be limited to the idea of getting a rectangular rug.
  • A circular or octagonal-shaped floor covering can add flair and elegance.
  • Medallion and round rugs should be centered in the room & directly under the chandelier.
  • Don’t select a busy area rug if the room’s color scheme and patterns are busy as well.
  • Keep your family safe by making sure that rug corners do not extend into high traffic areas.
  • Watch out for the fringe. If the rug you like has fringe, make sure it’s sewn on well, and very carefully use the vacuum cleaner.
  • Look at the back of a rug, as this will usually tell if it is machine or handmade. If the fibers are stiff and run straight up and down, it’s a machine rug.
  • When buying oriental rugs, avoid going-out-of-business sales and auctions where sellers aren’t likely to be around later if your rug has a problem.
  • In all rooms try to avoid having the corner of the rug end up in the middle of the doors or archway openings.
  • For smaller rooms, a small pattern is more appropriate. It gives the appearance of a larger room.
  • If you’re looking for absolute perfection, don’t buy a handmade area rug. Expensive hand-made rugs are not squared off as properly as imitation machine-made reproductions.
  • Don’t underestimate the value of an underlay. Not only will it absorb the impact of feet and noise, it will reduce wear and tear on the rug and make vacuuming easier.
  • It is recommended to rotate rugs end for end on a yearly basis to equalize wear.
  • Oriental rugs fade, as does upholstery. Avoid direct sunlight.
  • Another recommendation is to have rugs cleaned professionally periodically by a reputable cleaner.
  • To meet Federal Trade Commission requirements Persian/ Oriental rug dealers label each rug with its country of origin and the distributor’s business name. Labels having the words Indo-, Sino- or Pak-, for instance, would indicate that a rug came from India, China or Pakistan respectively.
  • Rugs are called ‘tribal” if they are woven by nomadic groups.
