Will the rug really make a difference? Yes, it most definitely will! Rugs are extremely important in finishing up a room. They help tie the furniture and decor together, while also providing warmth to a space.
Rugs come in many different materials. Natural fibers are great in terms of quality, while synthetic fibers can mimic natural ones yet be more cost effective.
» Natural fibers include wool, cotton, animal hide, silk, jute, and sisal. Wool, cotton, and animal-hide rugs are the best of these materials, since they’re the most durable and comfortable. The downside is that they can be temperamental to climates. Silk rugs are super soft and lustrous but can be difficult to maintain. Jute and sisal rugs are strong and perfect for large areas, but can be very coarse and uncomfortable to walk on.
» Synthetic fibers include nylon, viscose, olefin, and polyester. Synthetic rugs can often be used indoor and outdoor. However, they are typically known to not last long, and most are very difficult to clean.
