Area Rugs Are a Great Choice for ANY Room

Want to liven up a room or change the way a particular area of your house looks or feels without spending a ton of money? Area rugs are a great solution – they not only allow you to makeover a room in the blink of an eye, but also look absolutely gorgeous when layered over carpet and do a great job of adding warmth to tile!

No matter what your tastes or preferences are OR what look you’re trying to achieve, area rugs can get you there – with all of the styles and designs that are currently available, it’s easy to find the right one for you.  Here’s a few tips on choosing the right rug for you:

1.  Color – light colored rugs have the ability to make a room seem more airy, while darker styles lend themselves to a much more intimate feeling.
2.  Pattern – if you’re looking to create a focal point, think bold colors and/or active or ornate designs. In contrast, if you’re looking for a rug that’s job is to subtly compliment your current décor, understated patterns and solid colors tend to work best.
3. Durability – if you’re wanting to place an area rug in a room with heavy traffic, a solid, dark rug works best for disguising wear and tear. And, if you’re looking for something that will last for generations, invest in a rug of sturdy construction that features a timeless design.

Now that you’ve got the basics under your belt, you’re ready to start the search for your perfect rug!!!

Karastan Carpet

Karastan is one of the many brands that Carpetland is proud to carry. Karastan began weaving handmade rugs in 1928 and soon followed with broadloom carpets in the 1930s. They played a big part in introducing American households to the concept of walking in comfort and have since provided another innovation, their Kara-Loc ® method of weaving.

Kara-Loc was initially limited to the production of plain velvet and twist styles but eventually produced an explosion of fashion innovations. During the month of October, you can receive up to $1000 back on carpet when you buy at Carpetland.  We carry a large selection of carpet and area rugs from Karastan. To find out more, visit our store in Lincoln or Omaha, Nebraska or go to www.karastan.com.

Why Use Area Rugs?

We like to refer to the floor as the “fifth wall” of a room. The appearance of your floor can make all the difference in the way that someone views your home. Luckily, with area rugs, you can customize the look of your floor to reflect your personality and tastes.

Appearance is one of the huge reasons to use area rugs. Not only because you can reflect your personality with them, but you can easily change them to keep up with changing trends and your evolving style preferences. Rugs can also be used to define a space, which comes in handy with an open floor plan or on hardwood floors. If you are more of a practical person, you might want to have rugs in order to protect your flooring surface. Rugs come in handy in a high traffic area in which your carpet or hardwood could become quickly damaged.

Whatever your reason for wanting an area rug, shop Carpetland, where we have hundreds of area rugs to choose from. We carry the following brands: Anji Bamboo, Loloi, Nourison, Shaw Living, Karastan, Masland Custom, Oriental Weavers and Sphinx. Visit us at the store or find out more at www.carpetlandonline.com!

Thank you, Carpetland!

It is my pleasure to not only be a guest blogger for Carpetland, but also the author of the very first Carpetland blog! As someone who recently built a house, I have experienced what it’s like to pick out flooring…and a lot of it. When you have different rooms to cover, different types of flooring to choose from and have never been faced with these decisions before, it is very easy to become overwhelmed.  Luckily, we went to Carpetland for all of our products and the experts there helped me through the process.

I learned quickly that you are not looking for something that you simply like. There are other factors to think about, such as the warranty each product has, the durability of the product, the comfort and of course the price. At Carpetland, there are plenty of people who can help you sort through all of this information so that you can choose what is best for your needs.

My advice to anyone who is currently building or remodeling is to prioritize which factor is most important to you. Doing this will narrow down your options and then you can continue from there. And of course, go to Carpetland, they really are more than just carpet!
