Persian Rugs You Should Have Bought Months Ago

You’ve  known you need area rugs for a long time. When you first moved in it was one of those things that you thought you’d get immediately but when you didn’t you put it off and convinced yourself that it was even better without them. Why cover the wood floors, you thought. But now it’s time.

The winter came and went and you felt the barrenness. You could have easily used the color and warmth, the texture and pleasure of walking barefoot comfortably. So now you begin shopping. And because you’re probably going to be in this home for awhile, it’s a good idea to invest in hand knotted area rugs you can be proud of.

Persian rugs are the finest. Silk is more expensive than Persian wool rugs. There are many designs and colors from which to choose, thus you should consider your interior decor and match it with your future Persian rugs.

When you choose which Persian rugs are right, you will remember your initial hesitation to buy as laziness. And through the seasons you will remember you purchase as the right thing to do and feel that your home is cozier, more natural and more properly adorned.

Persian Wool Rugs vs. Silk Persian Rugs

Which rug styles are the best I wondered as I browsed the rug shop? There are Persian wool rugs, silk Persian rugs and other Oriental rugs for sale.

Persian wool rugs are less shiny than silk. They are more practical because they are hardier and less about aesthetics due to the lack of sheen. Silk rugs should not get heavy foot traffic because they can wear and lose their luster.

After learning this I decided that it would behoove me to have one of each. Since I like to think of myself as a connoisseur, that is, a purveyor of the fine, good and beautiful, it seemed the right choice to choose one of the silk Persian rugs, perhaps to have in my library or maybe even to display on a wall.

But because I am also a rugged man, a man who understands the importance of getting his hands dirty, it seemed that Persian wool rugs are the choice for everyday use. The splash of color and proprietary warmth that comes from these area rugs is too pleasing to hide in an obscure corner of my home. And with that settled, I walked away with two fine, different rug styles.
