Braided Rugs |

Braided rugs are definitely not your standard wool
rugs. Braided rugs are constructed by weaving long strips of material
together much the same way people do with long hair. This method of construction
makes for a very durable rug. Early American settlers started using this
rug making technique a long time ago. For the settlers they became a necessity
because braided area
rugs were a simple way to cover cracks and to warm cold flooring.

Braided rugs were very popular from 1890 to 1910 back then braiding carpet
rugs was considered an art form. Although over the last century interest
in braided rugs has waned, they still have a special place in American decor.
Braided rugs represent what traditional American culture is all about, so
they’re very significant in that respect.

Braided rugs are very durable and should last several decades if used
and cared for properly. It’s very easy to clean dirt, dust and spills
off a braided rug. Regular vacuuming won’t hurt braided rugs, and
depending on the size, they should be lifted and clean underneath.

Braided rugs have changed considerably since their inception. Early braided
rugs were only made in ovals and in limited pallets like a sisal
rug today. contemporary
rugs can be found in square and rectangular shapes, feature tighter
weaves and can be found in some very vibrant colors. Two manufacturers that
make some of the nicest braided rugs today are Colonial
Mills and Capel
Rugs.

A key component to any décor product is the cost. You’ll
be glad to know that braided rugs cost a lot less than most other rugs especially
a hand tied or hand tufted
rug. They tend to be what you’d call discount
rugs. And you won’t sacrifice comfort with braided rugs. No other
rugs besides shag
rugs are as warm and comfortable as braided rug.

The most common areas in a home where people use braided rugs are in the
kitchen, laundry, bath
rugs, hallways and bedrooms especially kids
rugs. Most living rooms and dining rooms call for more formal style
rugs like oriental
rugs or persian
rugs. There is much to like about braided rugs, and their range is quite
diverse, so if you’re looking to combine history, comfort and affordability
in your rug, not many do it better than braided rugs!
