Why Vintage Wool Area Rugs?

Wouldn’t one of these vintage wool rugs look perfect in your home? With hundreds of options, you can find one you’ll love for years to come.

Wool is one of the oldest textiles in rug making, and these vintage rugs capture its timeless style effortlessly. Many of these options have oriental-inspired patterns, floral or attractive geometric designs that can go with almost any interior décor option.

Interior decorators use classic pieces like vintage wool area rugs in homes around the world to make the flooring more luxurious and inviting. Faded vintage looks can add a touch of history and depth to almost any space, which makes them perfect in modern, chic, and contemporary homes. They also go well with country, traditional, boho, and several other décor styles.

For ideas on how to use vintage wool area rugs in your home, check out the ones listed below:

• Vintage style wool rugs crafted using modern rug making techniques offer the classic look with slightly lower prices. This is perfect when you’re looking for an affordable option that doesn’t sacrifice style. In neutrals like grey and white, they can work in any room and any setting.
• A pink and grey vintage wool rug might look perfect in a shabby chic bedroom with a feminine overtone. The blend of pink and grey creates a gentle contrast that brings the piece to life, especially in rooms with bright décor or warm lighting.
• A vintage wool rug runner could be used to dress up a traditional or country hallway that lacks personality. Vintage rugs work well as runners because they can display their pattern and color without taking over the space. (Remember to buy rug pads to keep runners in place.)

A Closer Look At Vintage Wool Area Rugs

Before purchasing one of these vintage wool rugs, look up cleaning instructions for the material. Wool generally calls for a gentle wool detergent, prompt cleaning, regular vacuuming, and annual deep cleaning. However, the construction method might require something more specific, like a vacuum without a beater bar, so pay close attention to manufacturer instructions.

Purchase all necessary cleaning supplies before your rug arrives so you can keep it beautiful from day one.
