Oriental rugs have been around for thousands of years but unfortunately they are not the same as they were just a hundred years ago. Many mainstream oriental rugs today are not made by hand nor do they use natural dyes, materials or glues. True oriental rugs made the way they were hundreds of years ago, would cost you a lot of money today. Most oriental rugs purchased in a store come from a factory conveyor belt, making them much less appealing.

Natural fiber rugs on the other hand offer an affordable solution to a natural area rug. Natural fiber rugs are rugs that are made using raw material in natural such as bamboo, seagrass or moutaingrass. Most natural area rugs are naturally stain resistant and water resistant because of their ability to survive in nature. Some natural fiber rugs are dyed but typically natural dyes are used, free of harmful chemicals.

Natural fiber rugs universally go with anything. For example, you can place a bamboo area rug in your bathroom, kitchen or dinning room for a clean, modern look. Natural fiber rugs are more affordable than authentic oriental rugs and many times last a lot longer because they are not synthetic.

Natural fiber rugs have increased in popularity and have become more accessible, especially online. Find the perfect natural fiber rug for you home today and make an investment that will last your lifetime.

Many people wonder when they should use a Persian rug versus natural fiber rugs. Persian and Oriental rugs have a very specific theme and pattern to them so they will give the room you place it in a very distinctive look and feel. Natural fiber rugs on the other hand, are more universal and can go with virtually any décor. Natural fiber rugs commonly come in neutral colors and one of the most flexible area rugs to decorate with.

Decorating with Persian rugs makes a statement. Due to their colorful, decadent patterns and prints they will stand out where ever you place them. A Persian rug goes great with a room that commands attention such as a dinning room or formal living room. Some of the best themes they go with are classical, country and rustic finishes. An Oriental rug can make any room sizzle with class and personality.

If you don’t want the rug in your home to draw so much attention to it, go with natural fiber rugs. While they are still impressive, they won’t draw all the attention. Most natural fiber rugs offer the perfect option to add modern, simple and elegant rooms in your home. They can be just the thing to connect the entire room together and offer a simple solution to a room lacking basic identity.

Take some time and look through an online gallery of both types of rugs to familiarize yourself with the different rugs and see which is best for your style and needs. Persian rugs and natural fiber rugs are both a great choice in interior design.

Green-Up Your Living Room

 
Posted on May 10th, 2010

Your living room is one of the most used places in your house. It offers comfort for family gatherings, a place to relax and entertain guests. Using green as the primary color in your living can create a place of life, rest and a natural feel. One of the best compliments to a green living room is the use of bamboo rugs. You can use other natural elements such as stone, plants and small fountains to turn your living room into a safe haven.

Paint your walls a soft green in a shade you like. If you can choose the color of the floor, go with a redish, cherry colored hardwood laminate flooring. In the center of the room place your main furniture such as sofas, a recliner and coffee table. Under the center furniture, use a large bamboo area rug to tie it all together.

Bamboo is a sustainable material that comes in various shapes, sizes and colors. You can find bamboo rugs that are light in color or a very dark brown. If you have cherished-colored floors, use a darker brown or a lighter color, depending on how much you want the bamboo rug to stand out. Bamboo rugs will help to tie the room together and give it a complete and finished look.

Bamboo is soft on bare feet but can also withstand the wear and tear of shoes. This is an essential aspect for using a bamboo rug in your living room. Some people may prefer to walk on it bare foot while others may wear their shoes. You can rest assured that your bamboo rug will be comfortable for either option.
