Decorating with Flokati rugs is one of the easiest ways to revitalize, update, improve and beautify any room in your home. Flokati rugs can turn a drab room into one full of color. Or you can use Flokati rugs to create a focal point or define an area of interest. Flokati rugs can add warmth to otherwise cold tiles, stone or concrete floors. Flokati rugs will protect hardwood floor or wall-to-wall carpeting. And the right Flokati rugs can tie together all of a room’s décor elements.

Flokati rugs are extremely versatile and can serve numerous purposes in your home. Whether you are decorating your living room, family room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway or patio, there’s a Flokati rug that is right for you. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, which is normally best kept rather neutral, Flokati rugs can bring colorful patterns and designs into your room without overwhelming it. Plus, unlike carpeting, Flokati rugs can be changed with the seasons – or your mood – and
the Flokati rugs are yours to keep should you move.
If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors in your home, Flokati rugs are the perfect compliment. With a little care your wooden floors will last forever. They don’t collect allergens the way carpet does, are easy to clean and provide a perfect background for a beautiful Flokati rug. But even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting you can still use Flokati rugs. Simply place them in high-traffic areas to protect the carpet or use Flokati rugs to tie a seating area together. You can even put Flokati rugs on the walls to create an interesting display!
The Importance of Using a Quality Rug Pad
Experts in the home décor industry all agree that every Flokati area rug requires a good-quality rug pad underneath it. Not only does this promote safety in your home by preventing the rug from slipping, it also increases the life of your Flokati rug and makes it much easier to regularly vacuum. Never use tape or adhesive to anchor a Flokati rug to your floor or carpeting. This can easily damage both the floor and rug.
The Miracle Hold Plus rug pads we sell at Rugs Direct come with a 10-year warranty. They are guaranteed not to mar, stain or discolor the floor and to hold your Flokati rug securely in place. They come in a variety of sizes and are reversible for use on either bare floors or carpeting. Also, most Flokati rugs manufacturers require that their product be placed on top of a quality rug pad in order to validate their warranty against defects in workmanship.
Remember, every Flokati rug needs a pad. Click here to see the high-quality, 10-year Miracle Hold Plus rug pads available from Rugs Direct.
Useful Information About Flokati Rugs
Above all, Flokati rugs are eloquent. Flokati rugs have been a Greek tradition for centuries. The 5th century Vlachs who lived in Samarina, the highest village on the Pindos Mountains, were the inventors of Flokati rugs. They raised sheep and goats, producing dairy products sold during the winter in the plains of Trikala, Thessaly, Macedonia and as far away as Odessa. They used Flokati rugs primarily as clothing and bedding for their tents, keeping them warm during the long winter months. The women of the village, having access to the wool, would weave Flokati rugs to be sold at bazaars during the winter. This tradition continued for centuries and didn’t cease until the early 1960s. The Mazarakis family has continued the tradition of producing fine Flokati rugs and other hand-woven rugs.
Even though these rugs have been a part of Greek tradition for centuries they are also a favorite of contemporary designers. During the past fifteen years, there has been a tremendous demand for exceptional-quality Flokati rugs. This resurgence in Flokati popularity continues to grow yearly.
When choosing one of the new, modern Flokati rugs you are buying maximum comfort and style. Flokati rugs invite you to stroke your fingers through their long fibers, to touch, caress, or even lie down and relax. Flokati rugs are warm, soft and comfortable.
Soft, luxurious, and plush best describe the feel of an exquisite Flokati area rug from Greece. Today's deep pile rugs are hand-woven from the best quality wool and come in many modern colors. Because they are machine-washable they are also very practical for any room throughout your home. Furthermore, with each washing, high-quality Flokati rugs maintain their color, beauty, and softness. They add warmth underfoot while sitting in your favorite easy chair, and they are wonderful additions when decorating kid's rooms.
