Tips on care of Oriental Rugs by Eliza Warren Elegant area rugs placed strategically over polished wooden floors became a trend in interior decorating in the eighties.
Oriental rugs are a popular choice with homeowners and rightly so.
With their vibrant colors, intricate designs, and expert workmanship, Orientals have the ability to transform an ordinary small apartment or a single room into a spectacular living area. Here are some do's and don'ts to help you keep your orientals looking beautiful, maintain their investment value and provide you with years of good service. Reserve older, finer, more delicate carpets for upstairs halls, dens, and guest rooms. Antique and silk rugs are good choices for a living room that is used for entertaining. Have a thin fiber pad, which is cut one inch shorter than your oriental, installed underneath each rug.
