Oriental Area Rugs

If you are interested in decorating your home in luxury and style, an oriental rug is a great option to consider. Even though the area rug industry has a lot to offer, oriental rugs continue to dominate the market because of the rich colors and patterns they bring into a room. Oriental rugs fit nicely into upscale homes but also can add an upscale and elegant charm to smaller homes. Oriental area rugs are very ornate with intricate patterns that beg for attention. An oriental rug can easily become a focal point in a room, a showpiece around which the rest of the room evolves.

When tracing back the history of area rugs, it is easy to see what a huge impact oriental area rugs have had on this industry. There are so many different types of rugs to choose from today, but buyers return time and time again to the elegance, refinement, and tradition behind the oriental rug. There are many different types of these rugs, and although today they may be available in several different patterns, prints, and colors, they are still usually produced in the more authentic rich hues that mimic the rugs of the past. If you are looking to bring a sense of dignity and beauty into your home, be sure to check out oriental rugs for your decorating needs.

Brief History of Oriental Rugs

Oriental rugs have been around for centuries. Traditionally, they were made by hand in Asian countries including India, China, Tibet, Pakistan, Russia, and several others. However, the most well-known of these rugs were produce in Iran, which was then known as Persia. If you have ever heard of a Persian rug, this is what the term refers to. These rugs featured vibrant colors and very intricate designs, and they became incredible popular with western nobility due to the amount of money it took to purchase one. Today, oriental rugs tend to be more mass-produced, and it is difficult to find handmade options without visiting antique shops. However, traditional motifs are still incorporated into the designs, and each rug tells a story or evokes a different connotation when you view its patterns. Different colors mean different things in oriental rugs, and you might choose a certain color solely because of what it can mean for your home. These rugs are available in just about any size and shape you can imagine, but the most popular varieties still include very large rectangular rugs over ten feet in length. It is possible to find rugs in smaller sizes, however, so no matter the type of room you are trying to decorate, you have the option to choose an oriental rug if you like.

Traditional Oriental Rugs

Oriental rugs are by far more widely available in traditional styles than they are in contemporary ones. Traditional oriental rugs have many tell-tale features that make them easy to spot among the other available options. For example, if you are looking for a traditional area rug design, you want to keep your eyes open for the colors that are used. Traditional oriental rugs always incorporate more muted tones, as well as dark jewel tones like navy blue, rust red, and even black. Most of the time, these rugs feature elegant borders, and their patterns are usually intricate throughout. Many patterns are floral in nature, but they may not always be. You can find traditional oriental rugs from many of the big name companies that make these elegant additions to your home. KAS oriental rugs, Safavieh oriental rugs, and many of the other more popular types are available in styles that look just like those you might find in an antique rug shop. Some are even pre-worn to look as though they have been around for a long time.

Modern Oriental Rugs

Although almost all of the oriental rugs you are likely to find fit into traditional styles, you may be able to make some of the more unique variations work for a modern space. If you plan to use an oriental rug for modern decorating, remember that modern design is all about bold, bright colors that complement each other. Two colors that seem to be complete opposites can really work well together if you are trying to plan a more modern room. Choose an oriental rug that features a brighter main color, such as red, green, or orange, and try to stay away from floral prints whenever possible. Go for something more geometric if you can find it, and choose a rug that does not have a noticeable border. This way, you will be able to stray a little bit from the traditional sense of oriental rugs without completely disregarding them from your modern room. Small round oriental rugs are a great solution for more modern spaces that need a rug but do not want to make it the focal point.

Decorating with Oriental Rugs in Your Home

If you plan to use oriental rugs in your home, it is a good idea to understand the types of colors you might be working with in your spaces. For example, if you want to purchase an elegant area rug to become the central point in your living room, be sure to pick up one that really embodies the colors and patterns of a traditional oriental rug. Choose something in brown, gold, or rust to bring the refined taste of oriental rugs into your room. However, if you plan to use your rug in the bedroom instead, you can get away with selecting something a little softer. A light blue oriental rug is a great starting point for a gentle but beautiful bedroom design. In the dining room, choose jewel tones to help set the mood for formal dinners. A purple oriental rug is an excellent way to accent your eating space, but you can also get away with just about anything on the darker side of these beautiful pieces. Try not to use too many light colors in the dining room, to minimize noticeable stains, spills, and damage that might occur.

With so many different types of oriental area rugs to choose from, you should have no trouble picking the perfect one for your indoor space. Oriental rugs work well when they can be used as a decorative piece, and they should almost always be the focal point of any room. Because many of these rugs are still handmade, you want to draw attention to their beauty and the designs that are so intricately woven into them. However, if you cannot afford to purchase a handmade oriental rug, you can still find plenty of cheap oriental rugs online by choosing a mass-produced option instead. Many popular companies, like Jaipur and Momeni, produce beautiful oriental rugs that will not break the bank.
