Oriental Rugs

Oriental rugs are usually woven on upright looms. The weaving methods have not changed in centuries. The warp threads are stretched lengthwise from the top to the bottom pole. The weaver sits on a board beside the loom. To make the silky pile for which these rugs are famous, the weaver loops bits of yarn in knots around the warp threads. A pattern hanging on the warp guides the choice of colored yarns to fill in the design. After a row of knots is tied, the weft yarn is shuttled across the rug, then combed and pressed against the knots to hold them firmly. The knot ends are clipped and stand erect as pile.

Area Rug Weaves:

Area rugs are available in range of materials from synthetics to natural, each with a completely unique look. There are so many different weaves an area rug can come in, that they can easily be adapted to any room. Shag rugs have been making a comeback in the past few years. With the different colors and styles available, shag rugs can be a great addition to many areas of your home. Hand knotted and hand tufted rugs have always been a favorite for their classic style and appearance. Bamboo and sisal area rugs are becoming a popular choice among designers for their versatility as well as their durability.

Shag Area Rugs:

Shag area rugs were the popular choice in the seventies, and are once again in style. This type of area rug is inviting and adds a fun touch to an otherwise dull room. If you have stone or wooden floors, using a shag area rug can add a touch of color and warmth while softening the appearance of your existing floor. The range of colors, styles, and shapes that shag area rugs can be found in allow you to design a room around a shag area rug, or add one to your existing décor. While a shag rug will not work with antique or old fashioned furniture, it can add color and life to a room with more modern furniture, while pulling together various design styles. A soft, comfortable, colorful shag rug is a great addition to a children's play room. Kas Oriental Rugs, Shaw Rugs and Carpets, and Rugs International are just a few of the companies that you can find shag area rugs from at Rug Sale.

Bamboo Area Rugs:

One of the most versatile rug styles today is bamboo. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly natural rug material, and has been used since ancient times. Asian countries have long used bamboo for many of their household needs, and bamboo has recently found its way into modern American homes. Bamboo area rugs are very strong and durable, and add texture and style that will compliment your existing flooring. Bamboo area rugs can give warmth to tile, carpet or wood floors, and add a stylish, contemporary look to any room. The durability of bamboo area rugs make them great for high traffic areas. Bamboo area rugs also make a great addition to a kitchen since they are so easy to clean and maintain. The natural variations in color and pattern make every rug unique. Rug Sale has bamboo area rugs in a variety of colors and sizes from Kas Oriental Rugs.

Sisal Area Rugs:

Sisal area rugs are a wonderful alternative to traditional carpeting. Adding an inexpensive sisal area rug will instantly change the look of a room with wood flooring or worn carpeting. Sisal comes from a plant, which is spun into a smooth yarn. Sisal fibers are tough, giving sisal area rugs a durable quality that is great for high traffic areas. Sisal area rugs are completely natural and can be combined with wool to create a soft, yet sturdy rug. Many new homes have hardwood or tile floors, which can be softened by simply adding a sisal area rug. Kas Oriental Rugs makes sisal area rugs in a variety of shapes and colors that will instantly add life to a dull room while creating an interesting and unique focal point.

Hand Knotted and Hand Tufted Area Rugs:

Many people are confused by the term "Oriental rug," which is often used to describe any patterned carpet. A true "Oriental rug" is a rug that is hand-knotted in a traditional weaving area in the Middle or Far East. "Oriental rugs"; are never made of synthetic fibers or by machine, and are always hand knotted. Hand tufted area rugs are often mistaken for hand knotted "Oriental rugs," yet are different for a number of reasons. Hand tufted area rugs are made using a tool that punches strands of wool through a canvas. Once the design is complete, a piece of fabric is glued to the back of the rug to hold the wool pile in place. The yarn is not knotted, and the fringe on the ends of the rug is usually glued in place, and is not a part of the actual carpet. Hand knotted area rugs show the pattern of the rug on the back as tiny rows of knots, since every piece of yarn is knotted by hand. The designs of hand knotted rugs tend to be more intricate, and therefore take longer, making these beautiful rugs more of an investment than a hand tufted rug. The colors and patterns of hand tufted and hand knotted rugs are often very similar. If you love the look of a hand knotted area rug, but need a less expensive alternative, you can likely find a very similar hand tufted rug that will cost less.
