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.

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.

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.

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.
