Country Style

I spent part of the weekend at my parent’s house and thumbing through magazines my mother has saved this past year. One of her favorites is Country Living and I noticed as I paged through all sorts of really interesting and fun design ideas. Of course whenever I see something interesting in terms of interior design I try to figure out how and which area rug to use with it. So, I thought, if mom loves the country style there must be plenty of our Rugs to My Door customers that do also and I might want to give you some ideas on how to use our rugs to achieve that style.

The most obvious way (and one I saw more than one example of while thumbing through the stack of magazines) was a braided area rug. These rugs have come a long way since being made to use up scraps of fabric. They are now made from all sorts of fibers (including eco-friendly wool) and make a good jumping off point in creating a country feel to your home. Two of the biggest braided rug manufactures are Capel and CMI, we offer both of their products and you should take a minute to browse through all their wonderful braided rugs. You may notice when browsing Capel that they have expanded beyond braids, so don’t be surprised if you find something else you like.

Another way to bring some country style into your home is with a floral rug. And because so many of our customers have asked us specifically for floral area rugs we have a whole category just for that. You will notice everything from contemporary to more traditional floral designs. I would suggest that if you are going for a country look that you stick with the more traditional patterns here. Although some of the clean contemporary florals would make an interesting juxtaposition in a country room.

Next, look for area rugs that have a patchwork feel to them, these area rugs are a great addition to a country room. They add style, color, and quite often set off the furniture to its best advantage.

Finally, a traditional area rug is always appropriate. These are like a little black dress for your room. Always in style, they work with almost any décor and they never seem to look dated. Besides, country style is a nostalgic style and what kinds of rugs were used back in the day? Traditional of course.

So if you are one of the millions of people out there (like my mother) that like a country feel to your home, take a look at all the options that Rugs to My Door gives you to create that feel in your home.
