A Good Area Rug

All the rugs we sell are good rugs. There are no bad rugs. Rugs have no moving parts. Most of them last longer than the people that buy them.The parts that might require repair, after 10 years in normal use, are the fringe or the edges.

Color is a matter of personal taste.Pick your rug first when you are starting fresh. It is easier to find fabrics, wallpapers, and paint that will go with your rug than finding a carpet that will go with your fabrics, wall coverings and finishes. One way to select your carpet for a furnished room is to find a color combination that will tie all of the colors together. Another way is to pick one major existing contrasting color that will set off the others.

All rugs can be divided into three major designs: all over patterns without a central medallion, patterns with central medallions, and asymmetrical patterns. Complicated patterns or less busy designs. Border types and solid colored carved ones. Will it be traditional, contemporary, Country French, abstract, southwestern, or tribal?

The space that you want covered is more important than the size of the room. Measure the space with a tape measure. Should the furniture be on the entire rug or all off the rug? There is no right or wrong answer.  The correct size for a dining room table and chairs is found by getting up from the chairs on both ends and sides of the table leaving the chairs out. Then measuring a few inches past the spot where the back legs of the chairs are. The rug should be large enough so that the chairs back legs stay on the rug.
