Indoor area rugs can easily and elegantly anchor any room, big or small. A good rug is capable of doing many things, such as covering and protecting a hard floor, adding warmth, making large spaces seem cozier, and creating eye-catching pops of color. The key is to choose high-quality rugs that look great and last longer. Let’s take a look at how you can choose the right rug for your room.
Cost Versus Quality
If you’ve ever bought a rug before, you know there are cheap rugs, expensive rugs, and rugs that fall somewhere in between. That middle ground is generally your best bet for finding a rug that fits your needs, budget, and space. In terms of cost, there are price points for every budget. When you’re learning how to choose a rug, it’s essential to understand the difference in cost, since that often affects quality, too.
Cheaper rugs are typically smaller. You’ll know them by their backing, which is generally low-quality rubber. These rugs are ideal if you don’t need a high-quality piece. For example, if you’re furnishing your home on a shoestring budget or if you’re placing rugs in spots that get a lot of traffic, such as near a sink or by the front entrance, something cheaper can be ideal. Keep in mind, however, that inexpensive rugs might fall apart the first time you try to clean them.
Fortunately, there are plenty of rugs in the middle of the spectrum. You can easily find large area rugs in designs you love, such as mid-range tribal rugs or Oriental rugs. At this price point, the rugs won’t be authentic, but they’re likely to be of good quality. Besides, you’ll get a gorgeous piece at an affordable price.
Top-of-the-line rugs understandably cost more. When your budget allows you to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a rug, you’ll get the highest possible quality. The carpet fibers will be softer, the colors will be more vivid, and the rug itself will simply last longer. At this price point, you can find large area rugs, artistic handmade rugs, and authentic Persian rugs.
Making the Most of Materials
Materials, quality, and cost often go hand in hand. For instance, cheaper rugs usually use synthetic materials, which you can easily recognize. When you’re shopping for rugs, make sure you take a hands-on approach. Feel free to touch everything. You’ll notice that cheaper, lower-quality rugs feel more rough, since the carpet fibers aren’t as soft.
If you’re searching for rugs that fall somewhere in the middle, you’ll have an endless variety of quality picks. Materials include wool and cotton, both of which feel soft and smooth beneath your feet. The styles of mid-range rugs are different as well. Look for flat-woven kilim rugs or those featuring shag fibers or even indoor/outdoor materials.
Top-quality rugs are almost exclusively made of wool, cotton, and even silk. They’re rich, opulent, and generally exquisite. Handmade rugs have an altogether different texture. Walking on a high-quality carpet often feels like walking on clouds.
Handmade Versus Machine-made
These days, many rugs are machine-made. This method is cheaper, it takes less time, and the price point allows a larger number of people to afford lovely floor coverings. That being said, handmade rugs are almost always better. They’re also more expensive, but you’ll get what you pay for and then some. Handmade rugs can take upwards of a year or more to complete, and the knot quality reflects that. A typical handmade rug can last generations if properly cared for.
Hand-Knotted Carpets & Rugs
As the name says clearly, Hand-knotted rugs & carpets are handcrafted masterpieces that are purely made by the skilled artists who have exceptional creativity in their hands. These are not mass products but are very unique and exclusive to each other. Hand-knotted rugs are majorly made by wool or silk or the blend of both. The quality and exclusivity vary from the number of knots per square inch. The hand-knotted carpets & rugs are so admirable because it takes a long time to craft one piece due to the number of knots required per square inch. A skilled weaver generally makes 10,000 knots each day, so obviously it takes a very long time for one to make a single rug or carpet. Generally, a hand-knotted rug has 80 to 100 knots in each square inch, more exclusive and luxe carpets can have 300-400 knots per square inch. The hand-knotted carpets have a history of more than 1000 years when the people used to get the rugs/carpets crafted to protect from cold and also for the aesthetic purpose. The handcrafted carpets and rugs show the sheer quality and skill of the designer.
Hand-knotted carpets and rugs are generally very long-lasting and last for generations. The knots made by hand are very tight and strong which prolongs the age of the carpets. Since hand-knotted carpets are very niche and individually designed by hands, each one of them is generally unique and different from each other.
Hand-tufted Carpets
Hand-tufted carpets are also crafted by hands but the artists use a crafting machine to fill in the designs. The designs made by hand tufted comes up in perfection and uniformity. Although hand-tufted carpets and rugs are not that costly and unique like Hand-knotted. The color, appearance, designs, quality are worth buying. These are majorly made by punching (by tufting gun) strands of wool into a canvas. The quality and outcome are incredible and are truly value for money. It is a fine replacement of hand-knotted carpets or rugs at a much lower price. Hand-tufted carpets also give an artistic impression since it is designed by the hands and are punched with the hand machines.
A Fun Fact About Persian Rugs
Persian rugs date back more than 2,500 years. They were and still are the product of ingenuity and monumental creativity. Weaving carpets was an art form thousands of years ago, with weavers taking pleasure and pride in the creation of intricate, richly colored carpets. The oldest knotted carpet dates back to the fifth century B.C. Historians believe that Cyrus the Great introduced rug-making to Persia, in large part because the conqueror’s body was completely covered in stunning carpets when he was buried.
The highest quality Persian rugs are still handwoven. They take time, skill, and an eye for color, design, and detail. More affordable options are available, typically as area rugs. These tend to be machine-made, which makes them more economical.
Whether made by hand or machine, a Persian rug is something special. It’s the type of floor covering you take special care of, and you may even decide to pass it down to the next generation of your family. If you’re lucky enough to own an authentic, handwoven Persian rug, that’s almost certainly what you should do.
Where To Place Your New Rug
You can place a rug almost anywhere. Well, you may want to avoid layering a rug over carpet, since that’s one of the first things you’ll learn about placing a rug. Although you can layer, it tends to look bulky and overpowering. Most people place their rugs over tile, hardwood flooring or virtually any type of flooring.
Area rugs almost always look best in the center of a room, although there are exceptions. In dining rooms and living rooms, a central rug placement sizes the room. In large spaces, a central rug can make the room comfortable and cozy, while an area rug in the right color can create the illusion of a larger size in small rooms.
In bedrooms, kitchens, and home offices, center placement isn’t always the right choice. In these rooms, smaller rugs often work better. Surround the bed with rugs to keep your feet from getting cold and to tie the room’s décor together. Place a large area rug off-center from your desk in your office, and try the same placement in your kitchen.
The right rug has the power to bring your entire room together because it’s so easy to mix, match, and create contrast with vivid colors and eye-catching prints. Choose among traditional, contemporary, or transitional pieces with neutral color palettes in your primary spaces and vibrant shades in your private or personal rooms.
