A Closer Look At Persian Rugs

Persian rugs, classified under the Oriental style, are cherished by decorators and enthusiasts worldwide for their quality and beauty. They can be traced back to over 2,500 years ago, in the ancient Persian kingdom, which is modern-day Iran. The country continues to produce these rugs, and they're a valuable cultural asset.

The designs come from tribes and villages throughout the region, and many of them have been passed down over generations.

Is An 8x10 Persian Style Rug Right For Me?

If you like the Persian style, there's no reason not to treat yourself to one of these beautiful rugs. An 8x10 Persian rug will transform your home, and there's enough variety in color and design that you're sure to find the right fit.

First, though:

• Measure your space and ensure that an 8x10 rug won't come within 12 inches of your walls. Taking up too much floor space with a rug can make a room look cramped.
• Use a color picker app to look at your existing decor and select a few colors that would work for your rug. Running your decor purchases through a color wheel can change how you decorate forever.

Choosing The Perfect 8x10 Persian Rug

If you have color, material, thickness, or style preferences, use them in the filters to narrow the thousands of results to something more manageable. Then compare your favorite rugs to find the perfect fit for your home.

Remember to add a rug pad, which will prevent slipping while giving your floor an extra layer of cushioning.
