Material Comparison

The material of a rug significantly affects its look, feel, and durability. Wool rugs are popular for their natural softness, durability, and stain resistance, making them a great choice for living rooms and bedrooms. Synthetic fibers like nylon or polyester are more affordable and resistant to wear and tear, ideal for high-traffic areas and homes with pets or children. Cotton rugs are easy to clean and maintain, offering a casual and comfortable feel suitable for kitchens and playrooms. Jute and sisal rugs, made from natural plant fibers, add a rustic, eco-friendly touch but are less soft underfoot and more prone to staining. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of each material can help you select the perfect rug for your home.

Rug Pads: Essential for Longevity

To extend the life of your rug and keep it in place, we offer a range of rug pads. Rug pads provide extra cushioning, prevent slipping, and protect your floors. Here are the rug pads we carry:
