light damage to rugs

8 years ago

We live in the Florida Keys. My living room is gets lots and lots of light, not direct sun light, but very bright light. I finally went to Sunbrella for upholstery resolving that problem but I'm not thrilled with the choices for outside carpet choices. What would be the best fiber content for a rug for my situation?

I'd look at Ballard Designs' indoor/outdoor rug selections, most of which look very appropriate for indoor use. I believe they have treated polyester as well as polypropylene.

Have you considered solar window film to block the UVA/UVB rays that fade furnishings? Would this help?
