Don't Sweep Your Style Under the Rug!

Whilst wall-to-wall carpets were a popular home decor choice when affordable carpet became available to the average householder back in the 1950s and 1960s, they have become a less popular purchase in recent years. There are a few reasons for this, which include an increase in the availability of laminate flooring, the development of modern, stylish linoleum and, in many countries the increase in affordable floor tile options. It's also the case that wall-to-wall carpeting is difficult to clean, and the whole carpet is often ruined by a chance spill. Whatever the reason for these changes, there are many rooms in the home which cry out for an area rug.

A well-placed area rug adds warmth and comfort to any room and it's no longer the case that you have to save up to buy an expensive woollen rug (or even a costly antique carpet), as rugs are now available in a wide range of materials at attractive prices. This means that you can take your floor décor to the next level, adding a fabulous rug to complement the décor style of any room.
Let's take a look at some of the newer types of rugs on the market, many of which feature innovative materials that have been developed in recent years which make a floor rug a practical choice in the home.

Whilst traditional jute rugs have long enjoyed popularity due to their affordability, they were often seen as a boring choice for kitchens. Nowadays, the humble jute rug has been reimagined for the 21st Century lifestyle, featuring bright colours and stylish patterns that can be used to reinforce the décor style in living rooms and bedrooms. Jute is an eco-friendly and sustainable material that is harvested from flowering plants in the Malvaceae family. Raw jute fibres are between 1 - 4 metres long, making it an ideal material for use in textile production. The soft, strong fibres can be woven into rugs, baskets, containers and many other household items. In fact, jute has been dubbed the "golden fibre" both for its colour and its cash value in areas where it's produced. Modern dyes and techniques mean that contemporary jute rugs remain an avant-garde option for today's homes.

Although polyester has been available for many years, new production processes mean that recycled premium polyester fibres offer an eco-friendly and sustainable choice. These fibres can be flat-woven to produce a non-pile rug that is easy to clean. Available in a huge range of colours, a polyester rug will not shed when vacuumed and can even be machine washed when necessary. This makes for a practical choice in so many rooms in the home, especially in kids' bedrooms and other rooms where spills are more likely to occur.

In recent years, polypropylene has become a popular choice for area rugs as they can be used outdoors in the garden as well as inside the home. Polypropylene produced from recycled single use plastics is an innovative material that helps to reduce plastic waste in landfill and in our oceans, so it's an eco-friendly option too. Dyes can be added to the process to produce polypropylene in a mind-blowing range of modern colours and then UV-treated to ensure that products made from this are fade-proof, retaining the bright colours for years to come, whether used indoors or outdoors in the bright sunshine.

The recycled plastic can be extruded to produce durable straws that are flat-woven into rugs which are fully reversible and available in a fab range of brightly coloured designs. The polypropylene can also be manufactured into long, fine filaments that are then spun into strong yarns, much like wool, but tougher. These yarns are used to weave rugs that resemble a traditional dhurrie or kilim, but they're water-resistant, easily washed, quick-drying and fade-proof.

With so many types of rugs available, home-owners now have more choice than ever when it comes to styling the floors of their rooms. What's
more, modern rugs are affordable, durable and practical, which makes finding the perfect rug to suit any space easier than ever before.
