The first major type of rug is the Oriental rug. These rugs are made from a variety of materials, mainly silk and cotton with sometimes wool. The most common material used in an Oriental rug is silk, although they can also be made from other fabrics such as brocade and jute. Most are quite thick and large, although some are quite thin.
Oriental rugs are usually used to cover floors as they are large and bulky, however they do make great runners or floor covers.

Next is the oriental area rug, these are traditionally made from cotton or silk. These area rugs are traditionally used to cover an entire room but are now used more as decorative features. As with oriental rugs they can be used as floor covers or wall hangings. Some people use them as a centre piece in their living room or even as a display piece in their bedroom.
The next type of rug is the modern rug, these are more contemporary than oriental or traditional area rugs. Modern rugs tend to be thinner than their oriental or traditional counterparts, however some manufacturers still produce large area rugs that measure up to over 30 inches wide. They are made from either nylon or polyester fibers.
A modern rug is used more as a decorative feature rather than a functional piece of furniture, for example they are very commonly seen covering tabletops and furniture. Today you will also find them being used to accent walls and as a backdrop to decorate a room.

The next type of rug is the throw rug, these are generally larger and longer than a rug and are traditionally used as a floor covering. They can be used in almost any room in your home and can create a welcoming atmosphere. In addition to being used as floor coverings they are also commonly used as wall tapestries. They come in a variety of materials and colors and are handmade and woven by machine. Often they are used as decorative accessories or as borders.
Another type of rug is the gazebo rug, these are very similar to the rug that was previously described but are slightly smaller. Gazebos generally measure around 18″ wide, however they can be sized depending on where you plan to place it. Gazebos are traditionally used as a temporary covering for a patio, deck or other outdoor area. As with modern rugs they can be used as decorative accessories and used as borders or as wall accents.
In order to make your modern rugs as durable as possible, you should make sure that you buy good quality wool yarn. Wool is a natural fiber and has natural oils, which protect it from the elements. Modern rugs are also hung between two ropes, one to hold the bottom edge of the rug and one to hold the top edge. This prevents water from leaking onto the rug. It also helps prevent wear and tear.
Modern rugs are not only beautiful but functional as well. They can be used as floor coverings in any room in your home, in fact they are so versatile that they can easily be used in any room! If you have not yet bought some for your home then why not consider trying out some online today.
