If you have a rustic American theme to your room then southwestern rugs are the perfect finishing touch and you will find a huge range to choose from.
Like many traditional products these rugs were originally hand-made using age old methods and natural materials but you can also find cheaper machine-made southwestern style rugs these days.
Still, if you are looking for an authentic product your southwestern rug will be hand made in the South west corner of the US by native Indian craftsmen. They are true works of art and are priced as such. Always buy from native American weavers if you are looking for an authentic southwestern area rug.
If you wish to create the look without the high price tag, don’t try to find discount southwestern rugs from native weavers as these rugs are highly prized and unlikely to go cheap. Instead, look at the many quality imitation southwest rugs, which will give the same look to your room.

Southwestern area rugs have traditional native Indian patterns incorporating lots of earth colors and intricate designs. The colors reflect the traditional natural dyes which were the only ones available centuries ago. These colors provide warmth and interest in a room and go well if you have a country or rustic style room with lots of natural wood, cream and fall shades as well as the full southwestern style decoration.
Rugs always include a number of colors, the most common being red, orange, yellow, green and brown but you can get rugs in native Indian and Navajo styles in all kinds of colors including blue.
When choosing a rug, consider the size and shape of your room. Room sized southwestern rugs look best if they match the shape of your room leaving a small area of a foot or two bare around the edges as a kind a margin. They need to look as if they are almost made to measure. Southwestern and Navajo rugs also look good as accent rugs giving a focal point to a room. If you are choosing a rug to cover most of the room consider that this rug is really a backdrop to your other furnishings so choose more subtle colors and patterns than if the rug is to be the focus of attention. You may want to choose one of the new rugs which mix a native Indian or Navajo pattern with lighter coloring to give a new flavor to the rugs of the south west.
