Traditional rugs add a sense of style to any home. They are often a decorator's first choice to polish off the look of a room or hallway. Whether the home has floors made of wood or carpet, if a rug is carefully chosen to match the décor, it can add a warm touch that brings out the style of the whole room. This type of rug is typically rectangular in shape and can come in a multitude of colours. It is typically medium to large, but the sizes vary depending on the needs of the customer.

Types of Traditional Rugs Available

There are several different types of traditional rugs from which to choose. They are Tabriz, Shanghai, Bokhara, Diamond, Heritage and Marrakesh. Each can be purchased in a variety of sizes and colours. For those who need to strike a compromise between beauty and price, the Diamond rugs are the best choice, as they are priced very reasonably, but are still a gorgeous addition to any room. For rugs with extreme quality, check out the Heritage and Bokhara, as each boasts one million knots per meter.

Making the Most of Traditional Rugs

As previously mentioned, traditional rugs can sharpen the appearance of any room. That said, you may need a few ideas on exactly how to get the best effect. If the rug is being used in the dining room, place it underneath the table and be sure it extends past the table by about 1.2 meters on every side. If the room is large, be sure to expose an equal amount of surface area for maximum effect. In the living room, place the front legs of the couch on top of the rug and use it underneath the coffee table to define the sitting area.

Traditional Rugs Patterns and Materials

Traditional rugs are mostly made from polypropylene which is a synthetic blend that is very durable and extremely colour-fast however do also come in 100% wool. The Shanghai rugs are made of heatset polypropylene, which gives them a wool look. The pattern also creates a carved effect. Bokhara and Heritage rugs are made with Decolan heatset, which gives them a high grade wool look. Tabriz and Marrakesh rugs are made with one hundred percent polypropylene. All the rugs have a traditional pattern, but they vary in size of the prints and in their rich colour schemes.


Traditional Rugs Recommendations

Polypropylene is very durable, so this type of rug can be used in high traffic areas without being ruined easily. This makes it ideal for people with pets because the rug can stand up to daily vacuuming without worrying about loosening the threads. Additionally, it is known for not soaking up water, which makes it excellent for areas that are prone to moisture. Because of this, it can be safely used near doors where people might track in rainwater or snow.

Traditional rugs are the best mixture of practicality and decoration. In addition to enhancing the look of a room, they can be used to keep floors feeling warmer, protect carpeting, and hide imperfections in the flooring. With the many different colours and styles to choose from, you're sure to find a rug that suits your taste and adds style to your home.
