Braided Rugs - Braided rugs are appealing to many homeowners because they are functional, versatile, and efficient, what really sets them apart is their durability. Originated in New England, they were strictly made with wool, cotton or a blend of the two. Wool is the most durable material for carpets and area rugs of any kind. Today, braided area rugs are available in a variety of materials, shapes and styles. Oval braids tend to fit well in a traditional setting whereas a modern interior would benefit more from a rectangle shape. Great for any high-traffic area around your home, they are well-equipped to withstand everyday wear and tear. Braided wool rugs are among the most durable styles. Keep in mind; handmade rugs are usually more durable than machine made rugs. Our collection features a variety of blended colors that will cooperate with any décor, providing a warm, welcoming look and feel. Braided rugs are just as important as any other décor item so don’t be fooled! Although they cannot give you the elegance and luxury of oriental rugs, or the striking pattern of contemporary rugs, they are more cost-effective and can last a lifetime. Many associate braids with a country look however that is not the case; they can be placed alongside virtually any décor. Ideal for the bathroom, kid’s room or any busy setting requiring a strong, inexpensive rug. Many other styles are easily damaged by water, pets, spills, food and require a professional cleaning service every 3-5 years at the least. A braided rug is easily maintained and will last much longer if done properly. Vacuum or beat your rug clean every few months to avoid dirt and other items deep in the fibers.
