FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING PERSIAN AND ORIENTAL RUGS
There are many factors to consider when selecting either Persian or oriental rugs. You have to be very careful with your selection to ensure that you don’t make the wrong choices. Persian rugs come in a variety of colors and designs. They are normally meant to reflect the rich Persian culture and artworks. However, not all rugs are richly decorated; you can find plain Persian rugs if those are what you are looking for. Oriental rugs are handmade; some have piles while others don’t.
Always buy your Persian and oriental rugs from well reputable stores. Ensure that the stores you shop from sell quality genuine rugs to ensure that you don’t end up with regrets late on .To be on the safer side, when shopping from online stores, select stores that have a return policy. This will enable you to change your rugs if need be. Read the reviews and the testimonials about the stores that you shop in to find out what other clients say about their quality of goods and services.
Never compromise on the quality of the Persian and oriental rugs that you buy. This means even if you find a store that offers you big discounts in clearance sales, ensure that you check the quality of your rugs. If the quality is poor, leave the sales alone and just spend your money in buying quality rugs that will last long. Persian rugs are normally thick and artfully woven; the fabric is normally heavy but soft to touch. If you find that your rugs are thin and rough, enquire about their quality.
You also need to check on the size of the Persian rugs and also the oriental rugs that you buy. Have the right measurements for your rooms. You can get the exact size; if you want a wall to wall covering, buy the rugs. Alternatively, you can find a rug that is smaller in size that only covers a specific area. Avoid buying rugs that are too big for your rooms. Folding the rugs will ruin it. Big rugs also tend to fold and give an uneven surface. Trying to trim the ends of your rugs will also ruin the rug and destroy the finishing at the hems of them. Try to be very accurate when selecting your rugs. If shopping online, the rugs normally have a product description giving measurements. Compare this with the measurements of your room when selecting the right rugs to buy. When shopping offline, don’t buy unrolled rugs. Roll them out and see if they are of the right size. Most stores will offer to take the measurements for you.
Another factor to consider is the décor of the room that you want to use the rugs in. Persian rugs have so many colors and designs and so do oriental rugs. Ensure that the rugs you select blend in with the tone of the rooms’ décor. Most people say the colors of the rugs should match the curtains. However, this based on ones preferences; select your rugs as you please but ensure that they compliment the room and their beauty stands out.
