Add Warmth To Your Bedroom With An Oriental Rug
When it comes to the bedroom we all know that bedding and
accents are important, but a key area of bedroom design that is
often overlooked is the flooring. Many people have wall to wall
carpet in their bedroom and, therefore think that they are
"stuck" with that color or design. The truth is that you can
jazz up your flooring by simply laying a carpet on top of your
wall to wall carpet.
Beautiful and durable, oriental rugs can add warmth and charm to
almost any bedroom. This type of rug goes with many bedroom
design styles, romantic, Victorian, shabby chic, Tuscan,
Morrocan, oriental and many more.
Oriental rugs come in many different designs and colors so you
should be able to find one that suits your bedroom décor. You
can buy them in different sizes so you can add a splash of color
and elegance to any part of the bedroom. You can buy them in a
variety of price ranges as well, but as with anything else, the
more you spend the better quality your rug will be.
A real oriental rug is hand tied - that's right each piece of
wool is tied onto the backing by hand. These rugs are really
works of art, and you might think they are fragile but they are
actually quite durable. I have been to many antique auctions
where rugs that were over 100 years old have survived to look
almost as good as they day they were made.
When selecting an oriental carpet for your bedroom, you should
only look at carpets that are 100% wool as these will be the
best quality. To determine if the carpet you are looking at is
hand or machine made there are a few things to take into
consideration. First off it's good to be able to compare two
rugs - one you know is machine made and one you know is hand
made. Look at the backs - the hand made rug will be much more
colorful than the machine made. The machine made rug will have
an overall stitch pattern across the back and you won't see any
knots since only hand made rugs are knotted. Another thing to
look at is the fringe. On a handmade rug, the fringe is made up
of the wrap strings from the end of the rug, on a machine made
it is simply sewn on.
When selecting your oriental rug, make sure to choose colors
that go with the colors in your bedroom. If you are placing the
rug over wall to wall carpeting, it is best to choose smaller
throw rugs that you can use as splashes of color around the room
and avoid putting furniture on them unless you buy a large rug
that covers almost the entire room.
Love the look of oriental rugs but don't want to put them on the
floor? Why not try using one as a wall hanging? You can use it
to jazz up a large boring wall or hang it behind the bed in lieu
of a headboard.
No matter how you use them, oriental rugs add warmth and
character to your bedroom or any room in the house!
