The Perfect Braided Rug : Here’s a Selection

A braided rug is wonderful. It adds comfort to your floor yet it also gives you a sense of history and tradition. Even if your rug is machine made, it still looks as if it was made by settler women in years gone by! Although machines are taking over the making of most rugs, many braided rugs are still made by traditional methods although these hand-crafted rugs can be pricey.

As for shape, there is no need to stick to the traditional oval braided rug. You can get these rugs in all sorts of formats including a braided rug runner, stair treads and of course a rectangular or round braided rug. You will even find them in the shape of a dog bone or apple.

As far as color is concerned, you will see many traditional multi-colored rugs (the settlers merely worked with whatever fabrics they had to hand, mainly gathered from old clothes) or you can choose any color under the rainbow for your braided area rug. Here is a selection of beautiful rugs to whet your appetite but we can obviously show only a few. For a bigger selection, often with great discounts too CLICK HERE.

Beautiful Blue Rugs

Blue color schemes are calming and restful. They feature in many interiors for good reason and as a result there are many blue rugs available in every shape, color combination and size imaginable to fit your blue color scheme perfectly. For example you will find blue and brown rugs, blue green rugs, navy blue rugs and every other shade of blue from baby blue to the brightest blue on the planet.

It does not matter whether your home is contemporary or classic. You will find a style of blue rug to suit you.

For a contemporary home, there are blue shag rugs which have made a comeback recently. You can buy these in all sorts of colors from a pale blue shaggy rug for your young daughters bedroom to a navy blue leather shag rug for a modern living room. Alternatively you will find many large geometric abstract patterns containing blue in combination with other colors which would add style to any modern home.

For a traditional home there is also plenty of choice as blue has been used in rugs for centuries. You can buy traditional blue oriental rugs which would add beauty to a hardwood floor like nothing else and also blue Persian rugs if you have the budget. If you prefer traditional American style you might prefer a blue braided rug. These rugs were made by the first settlers to add cheer to otherwise bleak dwellings and they are now treasured by modern homeowners as the wonderful works of art and craftsmanship they are.

If you have a Scandinavian style color scheme with lots of pale wood or white furniture look for blue and white rugs to complete your interior and add a little color. If you have a rustic American decor, you will find southwestern rugs containing blue too.

Although it is best to go for blue wool rugs (or even leather) to add a quality touch to your home, you can get some charming designs in synthetic fibers and blue is a forgiving color which does not easily look cheap so you can often get away with these and treat yourself to a fine looking rug even if your budget is stretched.

If you are looking for a particular style of blue area rugs you may be a bit limited if you go shopping in local stores. As a rule you will not find much variety there. In truth it would be difficult for stores to stock all the combinations of colors and styles that folks want. If you think about it, we have discussed many different rugs here and we have only looked at blue in general! If you want a blue wool rug with a touch of purple or a green and blue area rug then your best bet is to look online where you will find everything you need in every size and shape.
