Rug – Protection and Beauty in one
Floor
rugs are a very convenient home accessory, because they can uplift
the aesthetics of the house as well as give protection from the
hazards of the environment like cold floors etc. Floor rugs are
available in various sizes and shapes, colors and types in the
market, and the designs and patterns used for floor rugs vary
from region to region. In fact rugs and durries are a specialty
of some regions like Kashmir carpets, which are popular through
out the world for their aesthetic beauty and durability.
Thus
if you are planning home renovation, do not forget to add at least
a small floor rug, which will uplift the décor of your
living room considerably. While buying one keep in mind that right
size is very important, and so is the weight of the rug, because
cleaning can be a very tiresome process, if you have installed
a heavy rug that can’t be removed weekly for mopping and
dusting.

Kashmiri carpets – These are intricately embroidered
silk carpets that are known world wide for their beauty.

Durries – These are thick rugs woven with big cotton
threads. They are hand woven and hundred percent durable.
3.
Woolen rugs – These too are thick rugs that are
used in cold areas, are woven by hand and embroidered upon. They
are a good investment too, and can be sold as antiques.
4.
Rubber rugs – These can be used as entrance mats
or on the bathroom floors, as they do not get affected by water
etc, and are relatively stronger than the other types. Aesthetically
they might not be very appealing.

rugs are available. Tibetan, oriental and Kashmir designs are
very popular, but also very expensive. Simple plain rugs too are
