Where to buy Rugs?

How much do Rugs cost?

The cost of a rug can vary depending on size, material, and weave type among other factors:

• Size: Smaller rugs, such as 2′x3′ or 3′x5′, can range from $20 to $200, while larger rugs like 8′x10′ or 9′x12′ can cost anywhere from $200 to $2000 or more, depending on quality and materials.
• Material: Different materials have varying price ranges. Natural fibers like wool or silk tend to be more expensive than synthetic fibers such as polyester or polypropylene.
• Quality: Handmade or hand-knotted rugs are typically more expensive due to the craftsmanship involved, while machine-made rugs are often more affordable.
• Design and Brand: Intricate designs, patterns, and branded rugs may come with a higher price tag compared to simpler or generic designs.

On average, rug prices can range from as low as $20 for smaller, basic synthetic rugs to several thousand dollars for larger, high-quality, handmade

How to keep Rugs from Sliding?

To prevent rugs from sliding on hard surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate, consider purchasing Rug Pads. Use non-slip rug pads or grippers designed for the specific floor type. These provide traction and grip to keep the rug in place.

What are the best rug materials for high traffic areas?

For high-traffic areas, durability is key. Consider these rug materials known for their resilience:

• Wool: Naturally durable, wool rugs handle foot traffic well, resist stains, and maintain their appearance over time. They’re also good at hiding dirt.
• Polypropylene: A synthetic material, polypropylene, is stain-resistant, easy to clean, and stands up well to heavy use.
• Polyester: While not as durable as nylon, polyester rugs are stain-resistant, budget-friendly, and offer a soft feel, making them a good choice for moderate traffic areas.
