Modern Rugs Can Make A Flooring Fashion Statement
By Rami Nseir

Flooring is an important fashion accessory for any well dressed home. If you want your room to look stylish then you have to get the floor just right. As with all fashion related products, many of us are looking for something that little bit different to help them stand out from the crowd.

The earliest known flooring is the humble rug, indeed an example still exist which dates from 8,000 BC. Today the beauty of rugs has been rediscovered. Whether traditional hand made wool rugs, hand knotted, hand tufted, lavish leather, natural fibre or modern machine variety, a rug will set off any interior. A rug can transform any room in the home; can be moved easily and for a very affordable price.

With so many stylish and innovative ranges, rugs are the must have fashion accessory for floors. The growing interest in wood, laminate and tile effect flooring is creating a new demand for rug collections to compliment your existing flooring and be as versatile as your mood change.

Rugs can be very inviting in a hallway and are a great way to add warmth to your home.
Exposed floorboards and high ceilings look great in the summer but can sometimes leave your home nippy in the winter months, so adding a cozy rug creates a snug, warm feel to your home, adding a fantastic finishing touch.

With so many contemporary and cool designs it's not surprising that well-known fashion and interior designers have put their name to a wide selection of designer endorsed rugs. Indeed many flooring retailers have in-store rug designers.

Right now the choice of flooring has never been better and with the use of fantastic natural products such as sisal, coir, jute and flax fine quality hand made rugs are an excellent choice for those keen on using natural fibres without compromising on good looks. Natural sheepskins are the very latest in interior décor statements and do not pollute the environment in their production process.

Whether you want to create a natural look for your room or make a bold statement, homeowners have never been more adventurous in their use of flooring. If you want something truly unique, beautiful mosaic rugs offer something totally magical in ivory whites, creams and rich chocolates available in a range of sizes.
