An oriental carpet underfoot is a sagacious luxury. A fine art investment, one beautiful rug can carry the entire room. Some carpets are so densely woven of soft wool that it feels like walking on velvet. Don’t let that softness fool you. A well constructed rug can last for generations.Oriental Carpets are a sustainable choice. They are durable and constructed from natural/organic fibers. Reputable importers have improved the standard of living for weavers in villages around the world. When a space is designed with pieces of timeless beauty it becomes highly sustainable. When surrounded with things we love, we do not want to replace them.
An oriental carpet can be used to enhance a room that is already furnished. For a new project, it is easiest to start with the rug first. However, you will want to consider what size is best? How do you determine the knot count? What other fabrics, furnishings and wall coverings will complement your rug? Specialty carpet dealers are usually happy to show you how to look at the back of a rug and determine the quality. Interior Designers have several guidelines that they follow when mixing scale, pattern and color.
