Rugs for Every Room
By Jenny Mettarod
Rugs are great for two things: decorating & protecting your floor. It doesn’t matter whether your floor is hardwood, tile or carpet, you can use rugs to protect them, as well as to add the interior designer flair you want. Rugs can be changed more easily than the main flooring, so you can change the entire look of your room with a simple change of rugs. Rugs are a very good way to add variety.
I love Persian rugs. They’re the fancy ones with intricate designs in several colors. Those are so beautiful that I often hang them on the wall rather than putting them on the floor. I’ve got a big one in my living room and the runner in the main hall is a Persian rug, but my favorite one is the little round one done in beautiful reds that hangs on the wall in my bedroom. I just can’t walk on it. The beige fringe hangs down luxuriously with it up on the wall.
Some people favor the Early American types of rugs. You can find braided rugs, shirred rugs and hooked rugs. I find that the hooked rugs have particularly intricate designs with many different scenes woven into them. Shirred rugs are made of rags. It’s a creative way to use strips of fabric. They are sewn together in rows or coils. Of course, everyone has seen those traditional braided rugs. They’re in coils, too, but the coils are made of braids, rather than rags. You can find them in single colors or multi-colored patterns. Check www.rugs-direct.om to see examples of these three traditional rugs, and more.
Bearskin rugs are definitely the height of luxury. Myself, I prefer the fake ones. I would rather the bear live in the woods. But a good imitation bearskin rug in front of my fireplace is just dreamy. I spend time there with my lover. With wine, cheese and crackers, we are all set for a romantic evening in front of the fire. That is the very best use of a rug!
