Choosing the Right Rug for Your Home One of the many design challenges facing homeowners today is achieving a level of cohesion in their open concept homes. Area rugs help define the dining room from the kitchen or living room from the family room. Rugs also add color, texture and/or warmth to a space that would otherwise feel hollow. Choosing the correct rug for your space and lifestyle can be the dierence between having the rug for a season or a lifetime. Consumers often choose rugs based on how they look, but much more should be taken into consideration when making such a large purchase. 7here are many types of fiEers used in weaving and construction of area rugs. 1ot all fiEers wear the same and it is important to understand the difference between each one. In the rug industry today, there are fiEers that have Eeen created to help keep the price point of the sale of a rug lower, Eut these fiEers do not wear well or last as long. They can also have many cleaning related issues. Many times, they are marketed to consumers as an environmentally friendly or new alternative to silk or wool that have Eeen used for centuries. 7o really dig into fiEers, we must first talk aEout the difference between each of the most popular fiEers used in today·s rug market. 7here are two different fiEer categories, synthetic man made and natural. From the cleaning side of the business, choosing the correct rug construction as well as fiEer for your lifestyle is an important decision.
