The Elegance Of Braided Rugs
For giving your home that extra touch of elegance, there is nothing better than a beautiful braided rug that not only serves as a decoration but also provides warmth to cold floors.
Since the early ages, some form of floor coverings have always been devised and used in homes. However, with the passing of time and evolving technology, the designs, colors, and materials of these coverings began to improve. By the late 1800s, the braided rug, which was initially made from old clothes or used fabric, came into existence. These were not used for decoration but for covering cold floors. Nowadays, however, the braided rugs are made from good quality cotton and wool and as such they last longer.
Shapes And Types Of Braided Rugs
In the initial stages, these rugs were elliptical or circular in shape as they were made by braiding strips of clothing in those shapes. The loose ends were sewn together on the edges and helped to form the round or oval shapes. A little bit of decoration was added to make them look more appealing. The latest braided rugs heave ventured out in new shapes such as circular, rectangular, or even heart-shaped. The rugs are also being strengthened by adding extra padding.
Nowadays, there are different types of braided rugs such as the basic simple type, the mixed color type, and the multi-layered type. Moreover, they are now available in different sizes from a small one to an extra large one so that customers can choose the one that would suit their floor size. These rugs are used basically as floor coverings but of late, they are also used to enhance the décor of the home by hanging them on the walls.
The rugs come in different colors or in a mixture of colors making it easy for consumers to choose the one that would match the room ambience. You can also get classical braided rugs that give a feeling of elegance and sophistication. The finishing and texture of the rugs have also diversified and consumers can opt for the rug that would have the perfect mix and match style that would blend with the décor of the room where it is to be placed.
Manufacturing Techniques
Basically braided rugs are made either by hand or by machines. The hand made traditional variety is made by artisans who have been trained in this skill for a long period of time. Mostly this skill is passed on from generation to generation. However, hand made variety takes a long time to make and as such this can only be done on a small-scale basis. For mass production, big companies use modern machines to make them.
Where To Buy Them
You can buy the exquisitely designed braided rugs over the Internet or from furniture shops or rug retailers. However the Braided Rug Kits are available in arts and crafts stores. The older varieties of these rugs are now being clubbed with the vintage types and command a good price as they are classified as antiques.
Besides serving as warm coverings for cold floors whether they are built with hardwood or with tiles, braided rugs brighten up the homes. They are also used over wall to wall carpeting and linoleum. There is no doubt that braided rugs add a sparkle to your home.
