Being Cheap Doesn't Always Give You the Best Value

There is a big difference in being cheap and being frugal – many people confuse the two and I’d like to explain how we at Rugs to My Door try to show you the difference from buying a cheap rug and being frugal with your rug purchase. We offer thousands of rugs from the most inexpensive to top of the line hand crafted area rugs. While we think we offer many things cheap rugs aren’t one of them and here is why.

Although you may think you want a cheap rug, most people really want a good quality area rug at a great price. A cheap rug isn’t good quality and although it may be very inexpensive you won’t be getting a good value when you buy a cheap rug instead of great rug at a great price. We strive to offer you both great values and great prices there by giving you a frugal choice… being wise with your hard earned dollars.

Where a cheap rug will quickly cover your floor you will quickly begin to notice that the quality is inferior and the money you spent on it was wasted because it will need to be replaced quickly. A frugal rug purchase will give you a well-made rug, but still keep the price low, effectively giving you a much better value. It doesn’t matter if the rug you are looking at is at the low end of the price point or the highest price out there, if you aren’t getting a great value – you are not shopping with Rugs to My Door.

So, as you look through all of your flooring options and all the options you have for purchasing area rugs out there, remember that a cheap rug isn’t always the best value and for great value you need to shop Rugs to My Door.

Neutral Doesn't Have to Equal Boring

Many times I hear people tell me how boring neutral is – how much somebody must lack in imagination to keep everything in their home neutral – well I am here to tell you that there are both creative and exciting ways to be neutral. With the use of layering and textures, neutrals and a monochromatic décor can be invigorating and challenging. You don’t have to use bright and brilliant to make a statement, you can easily incorporate neutral case goods, soft goods, accessories, lamps and area rugs into your home and be as exciting as those who do it with color. Just remember that being neutral and exciting takes a bit more work.

I’ve picked out some of my favorite tone on tone, neutral and beige rugs to give you some ideas on how area rugs can help you with this decorating choice. Keep in mind that one of the hottest trends right now is the all white room – now this may not work if you are a busy family with small children, but the principals of a monochromatic neutral room can work just as easily with kid friendly shades of grey or beige as they can with white.

Do you want to be eco-friendly AND have a great neutral rug; you should take a look at the Oceans of Time collection of area rugs from Abbyson. The Caspian Deep Ecru area rug has great textures; great tonal values and is made from 100% organic Himalayan sheep’s wool and vegetable dyes. This area rug gives you great geometric design, but keeps the color tones simple and muted – a great addition to any room in which you want to relax.

How about a cheap rug that gives you a traditional look but keeps the color palette neutral? The Embraceable area rug from Fashion Source in Linen gives you both. The kid-friendly area rug is made from 100% polypropylene making it both easy on the eyes and easy to clean. Fashion Source if full of area rugs like this that give you great value and instant style. These rugs are frugal – cheap rugs that also give you great value.

Finally, let me go the complete opposite direction and show you a rug that is vibrant, exciting but is very neutral. This Aadi rug from Chandra gives you a great contemporary rug; great contemporary design but gives you a color range that is neutral and easy to incorporate into your home. You would have a very tough time calling this rug boring! Hand-loomed from 100% New Zealand wool you are getting an area rug that will last a lifetime and with such a striking design you’ll need a lifetime to completely enjoy it.

Hopefully I have given you some ideas of how fun and interesting neutrals can be – we have thousands of rugs on Rugs to My Door that allow you to change up your rooms with exciting neutral rugs – jut take a look.
