Rug Basics
A Rug, from the latin "Rogus" is
a heavy material that most people use to cover part of their
floor. We're still trying to figure out what others are doing
with theirs. We say heavy material not heavy fabric, because
rugs are not all made out of fabric. Sometimes animals are
slaughtered, skinned, treated, and spralled out in front of
a fireplace. Lovely. Othertimes, animals aren't hurt at all,
like sheep. And when animals aren't desired or available,
there's always nylon, polyester, acrylic, or some other synthetic
yarn.
Rug Buying Tips

Types of Rugs
Indian rugs and their crafting are one of the most sought after types of rug design available today, and their creation dates back several centuries. The beginnings of these artistic pieces go back to the functionality of the rugs, and thus they are made of extremely durable fibers and with a very secured method to anchoring the threads.

Installing a rug is not as hard as it seems and is a project that many people find that they can handle on their own. So go ahead; with a little effort you can have that rug installed beautifully in no time.
