Flooring that is sometimes functional is
not always the most comfortable, sometimes flooring is so beautiful
that it has to be protected in the high traffic areas. Some flooring
just needs a little extra protection from wet feet, sometimes it is the
other way around and the feet and the body it is attached to needs a
little extra protection from the wet floor.
Throw
rugs are the solutions to all types of flooring situations. They are
often decorative and inexpensive. The average dimensions are
approximately three by five feet anything smaller is considered a mat
anything larger is considered an area rug.
Favored Designs
There are some styles of throw rugs
that have withstood the test of time. There are some styles that have
been constructed the same way since the seventeen hundreds. The colors
and the patterns have pretty much stayed the same as well. A prime
example is the rag throw's rungs. They look like long strips of rags
sewed together and tied at the ends, because that is exactly what they
are, they are long strips of material sewn together and tied off at the
ends. These rag throw rugs traditionally come in blues and reds. Some
that are for sale are still hand loomed or hand hooked. These hand
loomed and hand hooked options can be customized at the customer's
request.
There are a lot of native American themed throw rugs
also that are very popular these of course are massed produced and very
few are still handmade. Mexican designs are also very popular.
Rubberized
backing is often affixed to keep the rugs from sliding around on the
floor. They are great decorative touches that provide a measure of
safety on slick floors.
Where To Purchase
There are
literally hundreds of places to purchase them. There are outlets that
sell all manner of flooring. Department stores, discount warehouse
stores, online venues all will sell throw rugs. The cost is usually very
reasonable, even for the custom made options. Expect to spend any where
from ten to one hundred dollars depending on whether it is hand made or
custom made or mass produced. The mass produced ones will be the least
expensive.
Throw rugs
are a great way to brighten a space, add a decorator touch or just
cover up an area that needs to be covered for whatever reason.
