Decorating a nursery for a newborn that’s on the way? Or the baby’s already arrived and you’re wanting to redecorate?

When doing so, keep your child’s health in mind. Some experts claim that nurseries are the “sickest” room in the house, because parents think more about how a room will look rather than about what’s best for the child’s health.

Unknowlingly, parents buy what they think will look cute, rather than what’s safe and healthy. Everything in a baby’s room, from the paint on the walls to the carpet on the floor, can emit harmful volatile organic chemicals (VOC), which can cause breathing problems.

And lung disease and breathing problems, which are frequently associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), are the number one cause of death in infants less than a year old, according to the American Lung Association.

What can you do to prevent potential health problems for your child? Here are a few suggestions–

• Use eco-friendly paints
• Avoid vinyl wallpaper which can trap moisture and help mold grow. The plasticizers in the vinyl can also emit VOCs.
• Furnish the room with solid wood furniture and avoid particleboard, which emits VOCs.
• Select a mattress that does not contain vinyl.
• Use natural fiber rugs

By using natural fiber rugs, such as sisal, seagrass, mountain grass, jute, bamboo or wool, you are using materials that do not emit harmful toxins into the air. In fact, many natural fiber rugs absorb dust and toxins that might otherwise be released into the air in a room.

Bernadette Upton, who has created a nursery in the American Lung Association’s Designer Showhouse in West Palm Beach, Florida, to illustrate that a beautiful room can be healthy and breathable, says, “People don’t realize they could be compromising the baby’s health.”

Using the wrong materials “could be the trigger of asthma and lifelong illness.”

So, if you’ve got a newborn in the house, or one on the way, you’ve got the most important reason in the world to use natural fiber rugs in your home. And Natural Area Rugs is your source for the largest selection and best prices on natural area rugs.

Buying an area rug may not be as simple as the novice buyer would hope. Being a room’s centerpiece, choosing the right rug is perhaps one of the most critical decisions you or your interior designer can make in creating the desired ambience or atmosphere for your home. But there’s really no reason to panic. The fact that you’re considering to purchase a natural fiber rug already indicates that you’re moving in the right direction. Natural fibers such as seagrass and wool have always proven to be more durable than synthetic materials such as nylon or olefin. In terms of aesthetics, natural fibers have always gotten the nod of designers since handwoven rugs posses an inherent beauty that cannot be replicated by mass-produced or machine made carpeting. These products’ natural colors and basic patterns can easily match any furniture and décor.  Pattern differences make natural fiber rugs “perfectly imperfect”. When tackling environmental issues, synthetics are out of the question as they’ve often been frowned upon for emitting harmful gases in the atmosphere. On the other hand, natural fibers are hypoallergenic and actually help to filter the air by helping trap contaminants.

To make things easier for you or your designer, we’ve listed a few things that you might want to consider before purchasing your new natural fiber rug.

Request a Sample

Obtaining a sample is one of the best ways of assuring that your rug’s color or pattern would match your room’s furniture. A sample allows you to readily compare the rug material to your floor, walls, furniture and drapes. The last thing you’d want to do is to re-wrap and return a rug in exchange for a new one (there are no returns for made to order or customized rugs).

Take Photos of Your Room

Taking a picture of your room allows you to get a better perspective of how your rug would blend in with your furniture, which is important in choosing the right shade or pattern for your rug. This enables you to compare your rug with other elements inside your room.

Check for Measurements

Avoid the hassle of having to return or repair a rug just because it’s a few inches longer or smaller than what your room requires. Using tape to outline the area that will be covered by the rug will help you visualize the appropriate rug size for your room.

Determine Your Rug’s Purpose

Is your rug to be used in a hallway where you expect significant amount of traffic or under the dining table where you expect spills? Or are you looking for a material that’s soft enough for you to walk on barefoot? It’s important to compare your needs with the characteristics of each type of rug to assure that your needs are met. Please click the following links to get a better idea of the basic characteristics of our natural fiber rugs:

Use a Rug Pad

One thing that a lot of customers overlook is the importance of buying a rugpad, which could be the best thing you can do for both your floor and your rug. Rugpads provide extra cushioning and that added grip which helps anchor your rug to your floor without damaging its surface. Rugpads create a breathable space between your rug and your floor which promotes air circulation, preventing dirt and bacteria buildup. Using rugpads is one of the most economical ways to help maintain your rug and floor.

These are just some useful tips that might help you decide which rug material would be appropriate for your room. Remember, shopping for rugs should be a fun and enjoyable experience, so don’t restrict your imagination. Go ahead and test your creativity. But if you still have apprehensions about making these decisions on your won, you can always consult a local designer.

Buying a natural fiber rug over the Internet can be intimidating. Believe me, we know. Among other things, you find yourself asking questions like– “How do I know I’m getting the best price?”

Of course, to be totally honest, it’s very rare we find ourselves doing. Our prices are already so low, they’re already well below the prices you’ll find elsewhere. Want proof? Just visit our Testimonials page where you’ll find messages from people like Joyce Abram of Memphis, TN.

Joyce purchased a 9×12 seagrass basketweave rug from us for $289, including free shipping. The best price she could find elsewhere for a similar rug? $440.

That’s a savings of $151. Nearly 35% less than the pricing she had found elsewhere.

And that price was with the rug delivered directly to the door of her home. Had she purchased the rug elsewhere, she might have also had the cost of delivery piled on top of the cost of the rug.

So if you’re concerned about getting the best price and best value for your rug, Natural Area Rugs is the ONLY choice for you. Our price guarantee assures you can buy with the confidence that you won’t find a better deal anywhere else.

Sometimes they’re not sure if a particular rug is always going to suit the mood they want the room to project. Sometimes they’re uncertain as to whether a particular style will always blend in they way they want it to. And sometimes they just like to change their minds and do something different every few months.

If you’ve had the above problems, or if you have any other reason you might want to switch from sisal to bamboo, or from bamboo to seagrass or mountain grass, changing th e rugs in a room on occasion is a great idea.

Maybe the season’s changing, it’s getting cooler and you want to switch from jute to a warm wool area rug.

Whatever the mood, season or reason, switching out your natural area rugs on occasion is the perfect way to change the look, the feel or the mood of a room.

Many interior decorators are increasingly finding this to be a great way to give a room a “new” look from time-to-time, without having to completely redo the room.

So if you happen to be someone who likes to change things up from time-to-time, or just can’t make up your mind, try buying several different styles of our quality area rugs, and switch them out as the mood suits you.
