Tips on Decorating with Hooked Rugs
Decorating with hooked area rugs is one of the easiest ways to revitalize, update, improve and beautify any room in your home. Hooked rugs can turn a drab room into one full of color. Or you can use hooked rugs to create a focal point or define an area of interest. Hooked rugs can add warmth to otherwise cold tiles, stone or concrete floors. Hooked rugs will protect hardwood floor or wall-to-wall carpeting. And the right hooked rugs can tie together all of a room’s décor elements.
And the best place to shop for hooked rugs is Rugs Direct. We are the nation’s leading source for area rugs and offer you thousands of choices in a wide variety of styles, colors, shapes and themes. We provide free shipping to the contiguous United States, a 30-day risk-free in-home trial and an incredible 150% price match policy. At Rugs Direct we guarantee your satisfaction! So when you are in the market for hooked rugs, always think of Rugs Direct.
Hooked 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 hooked rug that is right for you. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, which is normally best kept rather neutral, hooked rugs can bring colorful patterns and designs into your room without overwhelming it. Plus, unlike carpeting, hooked rugs can be changed with the seasons – or your mood – and are yours to keep should you move.
If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors in your home, hooked 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 hooked rug. But even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting you can still use hooked rugs. Simply place them in high-traffic areas to protect the carpet or use hooked rugs to tie a seating area together. You can even put hooked 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 hooked area rug requires a good-quality rug pad underneath it. Not only does this promote safety in your home by preventing the
hooked area rug from slipping, it also increases the life of your hooked
rug and makes it much easier to regularly vacuum. Never use tape or adhesive to anchor a
hooked rug to your floor or carpeting. This can easily damage both the floor and
hooked 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
hooked rug securely in place. They come in a variety of sizes and are reversible for use on either bare floors or carpeting. Also, most
hook-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 hooked 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 Hooked Rugs
Hooked rugs are one of the most desired home décor items in the world. Hooked rugs are popular for one primary reason. Simply stated, hooked rugs are born from one of the oldest textile fibers known: wool. Wool has survived the test of time because of its unique natural properties. Today there are many man-made textile fibers, but science has not been able to produce another fiber containing all the desirable, natural properties of wool. Thus the continued popularity of the hooked wool rug.
Today’s hooked rugs are durable, strong and beautiful, ranging in style from traditional, Oriental, Persian and formal to casual and contemporary. Once a measure of a person’s wealth, hooked rugs have reached the stature of art in many modern homes.
Wool that is selected for durability is generally harsh in consistency compared to the soft and delicate wool used for a sweater. The "hand" or texture of wool reflects the level of scratchiness found in the finished wool rug. This is determined by the manner of grooming and shearing performed by the rug manufacturer.
Hooked wool area rugs have set the standard for quality and beauty in area rugs. Often considered to be the best construction to consider when searching for an area rug, hooked rugs can be the perfect solution when seeking to remodel, reinvent or update a room in your home. Hooked rugs are a small investment that can breathe new life and beauty into your home without the hassle and expense of a major renovation.
