There are really three major categories to touch on when discussing area rug trends. Material, Style, and Color.

Probably the hottest trend in area rugs, as well as other flooring, is the use of “Green” or sustainable materials. Rugs made from natural materials have become very popular over the last few years, and will continue to be popular far into the future. People have become ever mindful of their environmental impact, and the demand for area rugs made from natural, sustainable material has been answered by our manufacturers.

Natural Materials

● Jute is a rain-fed crop with little need for fertilizer or pesticides. The Jute fibers are considered eco-friendly and are 100% biodegradable and recyclable. These rugs are not normally dyed due to the beautiful natural coloring of Jute fibers.

● Seagrass is found all over the world and has been noted as having a fresh grassy scent. When woven into a rug, it is highly durable and spill resistant. Seagrass rugs are rarely dyed due to the varied and beautiful natural colors of Seagrass.

● Hemp is very fast growing and sustainable. It requires no pesticides or herbicides. Because of this, it is considered an extremely eco-friendly plant. The fibers are strong and durable, and make for a very long lasting rug.

● Sisal is an agavae that yields a stiff fiber. No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used on this plant. Most weeding is typically done by hand reducing or eliminating the need for herbicides. Sisal rugs are long lasting and hard wearing.

● Wool is a renewable, biodegradable fiber made from sheep fur. It is able to be dyed any color. Wool rugs are great for cold concrete or wood floors. They are soft and keep your feet warm in the winter. Wool’s ability to be dyed allows it to be used in all styles of rug.

Style

When looking for a rug style, you really need to look at your current decor, and try to match that. A light color palate with modern furniture and clean lines will probably be accentuated best with a modern or contemporary rug. A darker color palate with more formal furnishings might best be served with a Traditional, Oriental, or Persian rug. We have all styles of rugs ranging including kids rugs and Americana.

Color

Color popularity change from year to year. This year, yellow, moss green, rich oranges, greens, greys and blues are very popular. Earth tones are always a safe choice and will almost always accentuate an existing color palate. As you decide to try new colors in your rooms, you can always move your area rug to a different room or store away for later use. Many of our customers will buy different colors for different seasons. Bright vibrant colors for the spring and summer, and muted earth tones for the fall and winter.

No matter what material, style or color, PlushRugs.com has it all.

Rugs are often thought of as a floor covering, but they can also be displayed on the wall as works of art.  Because of the cost and beauty of many of the rugs we sell, many people choose to hang them on the wall, rather than placing them on the floor. For centuries rugs have been hung on walls in palaces, museums and the homes of royalty alongside other works of art and paintings.

When displaying the rug care needs to be taken in choosing the right rug.  Most rugs can be used for a wall hanging but the lighter rugs are easier to display.  If the rug is too heavy then the carpet will be strained over time and lose its shape.

Displaying the rugs in the right location in the house can enhance its beauty, and in the right light it will bring out the design of the rug.  Hanging the rug on the wall will allow it to be fully appreciated while protecting it from everyday wear and use if it were on the floor.

To hang lighter weight rugs we recommend obtaining a dowel rod from your local hardware store.  Cut it to be a few inches longer than the width of the rug.  Then sew a strip of fabric across the back of the area rug, across what will be the top when hung.  The goal is to form a pocket for the dowel to fit into.  Then secure hooks into your wall at both sides to set your dowel on.  A curtain rod may also work well for this task.

To hang a heavier weight rug, follow the procedure above, except cut the fabric strip that you will be sewing onto the back of the rug into 2 or 3 pieces leaving a gap between each when sewing on.  This will allow you to use more hooks to hold the rug.  Be sure to get the fabric securely stitched onto the rug before attempting to hang.

If you have any questions about how to display your rug on the wall, please be sure to give our experts a call.  We will be happy to assist you.

Rugs have been an integral part of homes for more than 2,500 years. Through the centuries, the methods for making rugs have changed. Although they started as functional works, rugs have since evolved into more decorative expressions. Whether it’s traditional or contemporary style, making a rug is a complicated task. Many of the tools used to create rugs have remained constant through the years. All rugs begin with a unique design than is carefully drawn out. In recent years, designers have used computer programs to aid in this process.

Rugs can be woven from many different materials, but wool is the most preferred. Wool rugs have shown to outperform rugs made from other types of fiber. Wool is resistant to excessive wear being walked on daily. It also cleans better than any other fiber and it certainly helps that it is more flame resistant than most other fibers.

To begin the rug-making process the raw wool is spun into yarn. It is then separated and washed. From there the yarn is dyed by skillful craftsmen. Pre-19^th century rugs were made of natural dyes. Modern rugs use chemical dyes. These chromium dyes are more resistant to being washed out and have a wide spectrum of colors.

Next, the loom is prepared for the weaving process. It is time consuming but a pretty basic process. Most large rugs are made woven on a vertical loom. Once the rugs are finished at the loom they are sheared and then thoroughly washed. This washing gives the rugs a silky texture and sheen.

Finally, the rugs are dried and usually have the designs hand cut to ensure that the intricate patterns are accentuated.

That’s how rugs are made these days. The process is similar as the one used hundreds of years ago but modern technology has helped us create them with more ease. Even with the technology, a lot of work and effort goes into creating the rugs that use to decorate our homes.
