Area rugs make a quick and fashionable statement to a room. Rugs also help bring together disparate elements and help creative a cohesive environment. At Rugs to My Door we offer you thousands of area rug selections that help you accomplish this and that help you do it on a limited budget. Use a rug to add a bit of pizazz to a room that’s feeling tired out – or bring some trendy colors into a room by just unrolling an area rug – Area rugs are a great way to add a lot without changing much or overspending.

Flea Market Finds

Summer is flea market time and I just love going out and finding interesting and eclectic items to either add or re-purpose into my home. One of the hard things about having an eclectic interior is making everything feel like it blends into one whole – one of the simplest ways to do this is with color – others might suggest paint, but I want to suggest you look to rugs for this. Rugs allow you to pull color and design together and anchor it in a room. I’m listing below some of my favorite types of rugs that I think work well in a eclectic design – regardless if you are traditional, modern or a mixture of both.

Rugs shag are a great way to add depth, texture and color to a room – grounding it while still allowing the furnishings and accessories to shine. There are many types of rugs shag today, and they aren’t what your parents had – they’re hip, well colored and interesting. One of our best lines of rugs shag comes from Dalyn – they make quite a few different types of rugs shag that will work very well in just about any setting such as the Casual Elegance collection from Dalyn. This collection offers 100% nylon area rugs that come in a myriad of sizes that are sure to fit in any home.

Another great area rug for an eclectic setting is the braided rug. A braided rug can easily look very traditional but depending on the coloration and the setting you can bring a sense of whimsy or a very modern look to a room. One of our best braided rug companies is CMI, they have a wide variety of braided rugs from modern solids to more traditionally colored braided rugs – they even offer braided rugs that are outdoor rugs. Take a look through our selection of braided rugs from CMI

Finally, try looking a more traditional rug carpet – these are what most people think of when they think oriental rugs and can look quite stunning in a eclectic setting – a rug carpet from Sphinx by Oriental Weavers will give you a great look at a very reasonable price – so take a quick look through the rug carpets they offer and see if you can find just the right traditional look to bring things together in your room.

Add Some Panache

And some sparkle and color to a drab room with a new area rug. An area rug is an inexpensive and fun way to add some needed life to a room that is just feeling a bit neglected. If you can’t afford to completely overhaul a room consider adding a fun new area rug to the floor to pick the place up.

Rugs to My Door offers thousands of exiting area rugs for you to choose from. You can quickly browse (or if you are like me not so quickly browse) and see all sorts of options that would add some extra life and excitement to your floors and rooms. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a contemporary rug or an outdoor rug we are sure to have just the right rug for you.

We offer you thousands of contemporary rugs, just click on contemporary rug on the left side of our home page to begin to see all the amazing examples.

Need an outdoor rug? We have pages upon pages of outdoor rugs for you to peruse. It doesn’t matter what price range we have outdoor rugs that will fit your style and your budget.

How about a braided rug? A braided rug can work easily in a traditional space, a country room, an eclectic area or as a contemporary rug – Rugs to My Door has hundreds of braided rugs and some are even able to go outside – talk about versatility!

Don’t forget the shapes. We can help you with round rugs or a rugs runner – a rug needs to be more than just a rectangle sometimes. How about our new collection of square area rugs from Kaleen and their Tara Squared collection? A completely different take on the traditional area rug and all ready to ship directly to your door.

Finally, need cheap rugs? Take a look at our Sale Rugs – these are rugs discount and offer great prices and values.

Rug Pad

While chances are good that you are purchasing your area rug to look at the top, don’t forget the bottom of your area rug. Every area rug should have a pad (or grip) to go under it. These aren’t just for cushion or because we think they are cool, an rug grip is essential to making sure your area rug stays where you put it and doesn’t go sliding around the room. While sliding around the room might not be beautiful when it comes to rugs, the bigger problem is sliding out from under you while you walk upon it. This is why Rugs to My Door and our sister site Rug Saver offer you a wide variety of rug grips for any area rug and for any application where you might put it. We have rug grip available for your hard surface floors (such as hardwood, tile or vinyl) and we also have rug grip available for when you need to place a rug over other carpeted areas. Feel free to check out our wide selection of rug grips and remember we ship it free within the continental United States – so when you place your area rug order do not forget to get the rug grip too. By the way if you are unsure which grip to get or what size your area rug requires, do not hesitate to call our Customer Care department, we will gladly make sure you get just the right thing (and surprisingly you quite often need a smaller rug grip than you think you do)

Also, we offer upon check out our Rug Renew – this cleaner has been specifically formulated to spot clean your area rugs. It’s a great idea to have it around if you plan to put your area rug under a dining room table, in a kitchen or other high traffic areas. I’ve used Rug Renew myself to get some red Kool-aid out of a polypropylene area rug in my kitchen – it worked so well you can’t even see where that darling niece of mine spilled.

Outside - Your Comfort Zone

Looking for an inspired garden, how about just an inspired outdoor living space? Well, how about starting with an outdoor rug from Rugs to My Door. We have hundreds of options of outdoor rugs for you to choose from and I thought I would share a few of them with you.

Plus they are so unbelievably soft that you won’t believe that you can use them outside. But, they are made to withstand what ever Mother Nature throws at them and come back for more. In fact, you will find these outdoor rugs so appealing that you might want to consider using them inside where you need something that is both durable and beautiful.

CMI makes some wonderful braided outdoor rugs that can be used to create a special living area outside. While I truly like their polypropylenes outdoor rugs (I think they have a style that can be interpreted any where from country to contemporary) my favorite is their collection of rugs made from the fabulous Sunbrella fabric. We are just getting started with the marvelous Sunbrella rugs so stay tuned as we bring you more designs and colors.

Rug runners are a great way to add warmth and style to all sorts of applications. A rug runner works perfectly going down a hallway but did you also know that there are various other uses in and about your home. Let me share some other great uses for a rug runner.

A rug runner works well in a galley kitchen (or any kitchen for that matter) whether your rug runner is going right down the middle of the room or just in front of your work areas a rug runner adds style and comfort to this area of the home.

How about a in some of today’s larger bathrooms – a rug runner is perfect in these areas in front of the vanity where you might not want to stand on a towel or cold tile. And with the variety of styles and colors that rug runners come in you are sure to find something perfect for your décor.

Entry ways are another great place to position a rug runner – these areas often are much longer than they are wide so the size of a rug runner is perfect for these areas of your home.

Bedrooms are also great places for a rug runner. More and more people are putting hardwood into their bedrooms and while the look is great, stepping onto a cold floor in the morning isn’t…. try running a rug runner down each side of your bed – they are the perfect size and they won’t cover up too much of your beautiful hardwood.

Buy it Once - Use it Forever

In this day and age where we would all just like to buy it once and use it forever so we don’t have to keep shelling out hard earned money for more things I have some area rug suggestions for you that will help you decorate your home and not spend all the money in your pocket book.
Out line of Family Friendly area rugs from Sphinx is a good place to start. These rugs come in many great patterns and colors and have the added bonus of a 10 year stain and soil warranty. If you get a stain on your rug within that time that can’t be cleaned out, they will replace the rug – it’s that simple. Rugs like this don’t come around every day so if you’re looking for a frugal way to add some pizzazz to your home this might be a good place to start. And by the way these rugs come in a variety of easy to use sizes like round rugs and rug runners – all to make it easier to use in your home.

Another great option is New Zealand wool – wool rugs are just the type of area rugs that have been around for hundreds of years. When you see an antique rug go up for auction or a rug that is passed down from generation to generation you can count on the fact that it was made from 100% wool. If you do the math with a wool rug you’ll see that the cost per year of owning such an area rug is quite low because these rugs last and last. Look for a wool rug that has a classic style and classic colors – think of how you purchase clothing that is classic in nature and then are able to wear it season after season. A good wool area rug is just the same only it can last decade after decade.

Working Moms Against Guilt

There is a really great and fresh blog created specifically for busy moms. The domain is www.WorkingMomsAgainstGuilt.com If you are anything like me, you sometimes feel pulled between work, home, and recreation. Should you put in extra time at the office and make the boss happy? Or should you put in extra time with the kids and enjoy the life you have built around you?

The great thing about the women that run www.WorkingMomsAgainstGuilt.com is that they really understand the importance of keeping life as simple as possible. That is where Family Friendly area rugs come into play. Tela Durbin of Working Moms Against Guilt recently chose a product from the Family Friendly assortment of items at Rugs To My Door, and found that it is both soft underfoot and really easy to clean. Her full review of the family friendly rugs is located here and is an interesting third party review of both the Rugs To My Door site and the products that we offer.

Our assortment of Family Friendly rugs includes a 10 year warranty against stains. Beyond what the folks at Working Moms against Guilt think of the area rugs from Rugs To My Door, I can personally say that I have a family friendly rug in my home and am amazed by how well it performs. The rug has been in my foyer for five years now and made it through several Michigan winters. It was beginning to look really bad with spots and spills all over it this spring. So bad in fact, that I was going to roll it up and toss it in the rubbish bin. Then I remembered all the hype around "family friendly rugs" so I followed the cleaning instructions from the manufacturer. Amazingly, every single stain came out.

The really funny thing is a good friend came over last weekend and as soon as she walked in the door she said "wow I love your new rug". I laughed and told her it was the same old rug, I had just cleaned it. She could not believe it, and we both got a good laugh out of it.

Thanks for reading, and be sure to take a look at the third party blog review of our family friendly rugs, and the great experience that the ladies at Working Women Against Guilt had with Rugs To My Door.

If you are interested in our Family Friendly Rugs, take a look. I think you will be impressed by the assortment and reasonable prices.

Some Trends

Color seems to be one of the major deciding factors for people when choosing a car, clothing, furniture, and even area rugs. At Rugs to My Door, we make it very easy for you to find the color you are looking for. We give you search functions that let you choose the style, the shape, the size, but most importantly the color.

There are two very popular colors right now (at least from what I’ve seen) and this has nothing to do with color forecasts or what outside people say should be hot colors. This comes from what I see people looking at and purchasing when it comes to area rugs.

Blue area rugs are very popular; I think we sell more blue rugs than any other color out there. Rugs to My Doors gives you pages upon pages of rugs that come in varying shades of blue. And to make it even easier, we offer you blue rugs in styles from contemporary to traditional.

Another hot color is black – right up there with blue rugs are the black rugs. Black seems to be a color that fits into just about any decor. A black area rug can be anything from casual to traditional – it can be contemporary or floral. We have hundreds if not thousands of ideas and rugs for you to peruse – so start now and see if you can’t find your perfect black rug.

Finally, outdoor rugs are HOT this season – well mainly because this is the time of the year most of us like to spend outdoors – funny that summer does that to us. We have thousands of selections of outdoor rugs that will enliven your patio or deck. What is equally as amazing about these outdoor rugs is the fact that they are so beautiful and well made that they can easily be used inside the home too. Outdoor rugs are a perfect solution for areas that can get a lot of spills or stains (think kitchen or under a dining room table) because these rugs can be taken outside and just hosed down – how simple is that?

There you go, some of the hot trends I’m seeing right now when it comes to area rugs – don’t worry there’s always something going on at Rugs to My Door – and it’s always a trend if you love it.
