When it comes to home decor you want the best of everything. That's why I'm here to tell you that choosing an oriental rug is one of the best decisions you can make for your home. An oriental rug is a beautiful addition to any room in your house, but there are many different types and styles that you need to choose from before making this decision.
What is a Persian Rug?
An oriental rug is a traditional woven floor covering that originated in the Middle East and Central Asia. Most of these rugs are made from wool, cotton, silk, or even goat hair. The designs can be very intricate, beautiful and complex; with some rugs having hundreds of knots per square inch. The most common designs include floral patterns (florals), geometric patterns (geometrics), and animal/bird motifs (figural). Some Persian rugs also have tassels at the ends of each strand to add some pizzazz!
Here's how you can tell if your carpet is an "Oriental" rug vs another type:
Hand-knotted rugs are the most popular Oriental rugs. They have a variety of styles, colors and designs that meet your needs and expectations. Hand-knotted rugs also come in different sizes and shapes. You can choose to buy one as large as 10 feet by 12 feet or smaller than 3 feet by 5 feet depending on your room size.
Maintaining your Oriental rug is easy, but there are a few things you should know. First off, remember that your rug must be kept clean. Dust and dirt can damage the fibers in the rug and ruin its appearance over time. When vacuuming, be sure to use a hard surface attachment so as not to damage the rug with bristles or wheels. You should also avoid using any kind of chemicals on your Oriental rugs as some will strip away the dye from the fibers or bleach them out entirely!
If you want to keep your room cool during summer months and warm during winter months (or vice versa), consider getting an area rug made from wool or silk instead of cotton — these materials are more insulating than others so they'll help keep rooms at comfortable temperatures even without climate control systems installed (and if we're being honest here...sometimes those things don't work very well).
Before you pick out your favorite rug, it’s important to think about where it will go and how much space you have. Rugs come in all different sizes—from small round rugs that fit on top of a coffee table to large areas like a living room floor. You can even find rugs with runners attached for hallways or staircases!
