I've been a long time fan of Oriental rugs and have often used them for design inspiration when decorating or redecorating a room for a client. Sometimes, we'll use a rug already owned by a client and rework the new furnishings around an existing rug. Other times, I may find a great-looking rug and we'll use colors in the rug to develop a color scheme for the room. Or, we'll select a rug that helps to tie all the elements of the room together.
To clarify the term "Oriental" - Oriental is a term used to refer to rugs made in a wide geographic region from the far east in China to the near east in Turkey and North Africa and everything in between in the Middle East. Persian rugs, Turkish rugs, Caucasian and Central Asian Rugs, Pakistani and Afghan rugs, Chinese and Tibetan rugs all fall into this category. Oriental rugs are generally handmade, either knotted or woven, of traditional materials such as wool and silk with indigenous design patterns that have been around for centuries in their respective regions. The beauty of these rugs is that they can bring exotic far off places into your home.
When shopping for area rugs, I try to shop local area resources first. But sometimes, I have to rely on my on-line resources as well to find just the right size, shape, color, style, design, etc. I recently discovered eSaleRugs.com and was very impressed with their selection, prices, and customer service. They have a great website which is pretty easy to navigate and they often have some great sales and promotions.
This week’s sale on eSaleRugs is 25% Off all rugs, valid through September 14. The Goodbye Summer Sale is a great way to redecorate your home to add extra warmth or brighten up a particular room for the coming fall and winter season. Try a Persian rug for rich elegance, a Modern rug to brighten up an otherwise spare room, a Traditional rug for timeless style or an Oriental rug to bring in a touch of the exotic.
