I think everyone who has watched the Big Lebowski understands the importance of rugs. The dude’s words of wisdom will always be remembered: “That rug really tied the room together man.” Purchasing wool rugs can make your home a place of striking beauty (and quirky aesthetics.) Wool rugs are items that transcend their very name—they are available in any shape, size, and style. Indeed wool is a very versatile material—it can be made to take on a plethora of forms. Wool rugs are ubiquitous, for example, in luxurious settings—hotel lobbies, dining halls, and other high-class establishments employ them very frequently.
Your home can take advantage of these charms—wool rugs adorn the abodes of many Hollywood stars. The first step towards owning one of these wonderful decorative pieces is finding a retailer whom you trust. When it comes to wool rugs, manufacture is everything—a high-quality wool rug will usually be woven by hand. Choosing the right colors so that any wool rugs you buy match your home can be a tough process. Make sure you compare palettes and stick with matching looks.
There are many different types of wool rugs—a plethora of countries have their own culturally-specific manufacture methods and design styles. Persian rugs, of course, are by far the most famous. 500 years before Christ’s birth, Persians were already designing fantastic wool rugs—earning them world-wide repute as artists and rug-weavers. Other famous rug-weaving countries include Morocco and Iran.
Once you have chosen the right color, style, and size for your wool rug, it is time to make (and install) your purchase. By now you should know what rooms you plan on adorning with wool rugs—simply set them on the ground and use double-sided tape if you are worried about slipping. Voile—your very own beautiful, wool-rug-laden home.
