Q:
Are oriental rugs in style now?
A:
Yes! Oriental rugs are timeless classics, and while their popularity has temporary fluctuations up or down, they are now and will always be a solid design choice. In fact, the trend in recent years has been towards rich, authentic design — which make oriental rugs a natural fit.
Q:
Can oriental rugs work in modern rooms?
A:
Yes! Oriental rugs are perfect for adding warmth, richness and texture to sleek, modern spaces. Just imagine a vibrant oriental rug atop a smooth concrete or bare wood floor, accented with a few sculptural modern pieces of furniture.
Q:
Should I have the same style throughout my house, or give each room its own theme?
A:
Keep some elements the same. While it’s fun to add a unique touch to each room (no one wants to live in a cookie-cutter home!) unless there is some stylistic consistency, you and your guests might feel a bit of design whiplash. If you have eclectic tastes and love to experiment, try unifying the elements with a single color palette.
Q:
How long should I expect an oriental rug to last?
A:
With proper care and cleaning, a high quality oriental rug can last for many years. Some have even been known to last for generations!
Because of the intricate designs of oriental rugs, they often work best in a rectangular shape or as a runner. Try a large rectangular oriental rug in the living room, dining room or bedroom; or place an oriental runner in the hall or kitchen.
