Selecting The Right Rug

If you've been to the shop ~ you know I'm a bit of a rug nerd.  I LOVE the way rugs can transform a room, ground a design, and provide a functional solution to a busy lifestyle.  With all the options (and price points!) out there...how do you know what you are really looking for?

It all boils down to three key points: (1) construction, (2) material, (3) look.

Here's a look at six very different samples in my shop. 

{1} The Loren by Loloi Rugs

A true gem in a household with kids and pets.  Loloi has hit the nail on the head with it's newest collection of "printed" rugs.  We love it's flat texture making it a breeze to vacuum -- and the distressed look minimizes the fear of evident stains.  100% Polyester.  Made in Turkey.

Best Rooms: Kitchen, Dining, Living, Office, Bedroom, Play Room, Mud Room -- you can put this rug anywhere and still sleep at night.

Care Instructions: Clean spills immediately by blotting with a clean sponge or cloth. Vacuum carefully without beater bar. Professional cleaning recommended. Rug pad recommended for use on hard floor.

Available in the following sizes:

2’3” x 3’9”: $90.00

{2} The Java by Loloi Rugs

I've been crushing hard core on this rug since I saw it last summer.  Absolutely beautiful and timeless.  The texture is interesting enough to be a statement yet neutral enough to go with what you have on hand.  Kid factor?  I'd give it a B+.  It can handle popcorn movie nights...just maybe skip the bright colored juice boxes.  Natural fibers for the win.  It's a hand woven wool/cotton mix.  Made in India.

Best Rooms: Dining, Living, Office, Bedroom, Play Room, Laundry Room -- it's going to last and requires little maintenance.

Care Instructions: Clean spills immediately by blotting with a clean sponge or cloth. For vacuuming, use a vacuum cleaner without beater bar or one where you can set the bar to the highest pile setting. If your vacuum has variable power settings, set on low. Vacuum full length of the rug, turn and repeat to the next area, rather than back and forth motion. Expect shedding. Professional cleaning recommended. Rug pad recommended for use on hard floor.

Available in the following sizes:

2’ x 3’: $162.00
4' x 6': $576.00
5’6” x 8’6”: $1026.00
7’9” x 9’9”: $1656.00
8’6” x 11’6”: $2466.00
9'6" x 13'6": $3222.00
