subject: Things To Look For When Purchasing Cheap Rugs [print this page] When looking to add some extra flair to your room, get a cheap rug. Now, hear me out first! Rugs, carpets and mats are just accessories that are not noticed nearly as much as the rest of the room. You will be able to get by with a cheaper rug without others noticing.
So why are rugs such a big deal? Why do people need to spend hundreds of dollars on one item of decor? Although a brightly colored rug that stands out will in fact draw attention, it is unnecessary.
Consider instead finding a standard color rug, one that is cheap, and one that complements your decor. There are plenty of cheap area rugs available.
If you find yourself dealing with decor that is more classic and rich, search for rugs that have those qualities as well, just not so expensive. There are plenty of rugs that look like rugs from Courtistan or Nourison, but without the pain in price!
If you are searching for a more vintage look then hit up garage sales on the weekends or head to your Goodwill, you'd be surprised at what you find that can work great for your home!
A word to the wise, however; If purchasing a used rug make sure it is cleaned very well, as you dot want to bring home any bugs in the rug or dirt you don't need in your house, play It safe.
For an added decorating twist, consider the use of rug runners. They come in a variety of materials to be made in such as sisal and silk and withal the various designs you can't go wrong.
Now do not go too cheap with these. Since the rug runners are in plain sight and one of the highlights in a hallway or in a space away from furniture, it is important to have it look nice.
