Interior Rug Buying Guide

Most of the times, adding little things or making few changes can make a great difference in your home decor. Be it a smaller room or a larger space, Interior rugs add beauty and elegance to the entire area. With various materials, sizes and designs available in the market, it can be tricky to find the ones that suits your need. It is important to understand the technicalities behind the different materials and weaving methods before buying a rug. Rugs are manufactured in three different methods as handwoven, bayonet and with machines.

Understanding the different sizes in rugs:

First among all, you need to determine the size of the area you want to cover with a rug. Are you planning to use them under a coffee or a dinner table or for covering an entire area? According to a rug buying guide from Lowe's home improvement store, you can choose either 4' × 6' or 6' × 9' size rugs to use under a coffee table. If you want to use under a table in your dinning room, 8' wide area rugs will be helpful, also goes well with most of the interiors.

Are you planning to cover the entire room with a rug? Do not worry. Interior rugs with a size about 8' x 11' are commonly used to cover the entire room. It is absolutely fine if you choose not to keep any table or furniture on top of the rug, but just use it as an additional decorative artifact. However, you should determine the size of the rug depending on the size of the table, surrounding furnitures and other home decor accessories in that particular area.

Recognizing the different materials and fibers in rugs:

Do you know that Persia, Tibet and Turkey compete very hard to lead among global exporters for rugs? Rugs from these places are quite expensive because most of them are handmade using expensive materials such as fine wool and rich silks. You can choose the material depending on how much you have allocated in your budget for rugs.
