If you're like most people, when we say “rugs”, you would
probably have images of luxurious oriental rugs on the floors of palaces and
mansions. However, the truth is that rugs have come a long way from their royal
origins and anyone who has interior space to decorate can and should buy rugs.
Obviously, rugs come in different colors and designs. However, for this
article, we will only be talking about rugs that are blue. What are blue rugs? Blue rugs
are just that: rugs that come in blue.
Blue in itself is a very cool color and invokes images of
the sea. And when they're rendered on a rug, they can make your house look more
comfortable and breezy, so to speak. Blue rugs don't just come in plain. We
visited a few websites that offer them and found rugs in different hues of
blue. Some were even printed. Take a look at websites like HomeDecorators.com
and Overstock.com to know what we mean.
When it comes to buying rugs, the design of the rug itself
shouldn't be your only consideration. You also need to consider the interior
that you're going to put it in. Persian design rugs will always look good in a
classy interior. Meanwhile, a modern-looking interior will beg for a
contemporary-looking rug.
Modern rugs come in plain colors, animal or floral prints,
or geometric designs. When you're buying a rug, it is important to take a look
at websites and magazines that offer interior designs tips and ideas. As we
said earlier, just because a rug looks good, it does not mean that the over all
effect on your interior will be good. If you don't trust yourself at all with
interior decoration, you can ask an interior decorator for advice, or you could
have him or her do all the work for you.
Rugs, especially those made by known brands, are not cheap.
A small 2”x4” rug typically cost $70 while 12”x14” cost at least $1,000. There
are retailers and rug brands that offer financing options so your purchase does
not interfere with your family's budget. If there's a rug you like but the
manufacturer or retailer does not offer financing, you can use the financing
options of your credit card to your advantage.
There are also manufacturers that offer rewards and freebies
on bulk purchases. If you have friends who are into rugs, you can get together
and buy rugs all at once to get those rewards and freebies.
Out on the Internet, you will find many, many websites that
sell rugs in different shapes, sizes and prices. You should be careful,
however, because sometimes the actual product can look different than the one
on the picture. You should only buy from a website that offers a return or
refund policy. Better still, it would be better to go to a showroom and check
out the favorite rugs there. At least you will see and feel for yourself just
how good a rug is.
