They can add so much beauty and interest to a room like no other accessory. What's more is that they are intricately designed and so well made, they are meant to last.

There is so much that goes into each one, with their intricate detailing and one-of-a-kind designs, they can impress anyone can improve the look of any home.

For centuries, they are renowned for their warmth and appreciated for the hours on end that were involved in creating them. Because there is so much care involved in making them, they are more durable and long-lived than those made in modern day times. They are always made of natural fibers, of either silk, cotton, or wool. These rugs are never made of synthetic blends.

They are also viewed as works of art, and they maintain their value, if they are cared for properly. Therefore, they are true investments, rather than expenses when it comes to decorating the home. Rug weaving was an art all over the world, and these generally come from Central Asia, India and western China. Persian rugs come from Turkey, Iran, and other areas in this part of the world.

Interior designers love them, and they are often incorporated in the design schemes of formal living rooms. Keep in mind that they are not only used in traditional design, but also in modern and contemporary themes as well. They serve a great purpose, besides providing warmth and comfort underfoot. In fact, they create great conversational zones in living rooms, although they are great for use in dining rooms and bedrooms as well.

No matter what shape is chosen, or size for that matter, they are easy to decorate with. The important thing is to become familiar with the industry prior to making an investment. Since they can be centuries old, they may be quite expensive, therefore doing one's homework can protect that investment and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Get to know the terminology, such as the term abrash, which is the hue of the color when viewed in different angles. This is the norm for antique fine rugs. Their popularity helps to maintain and even increase their value as time passes, which is why many collect these.

They were created often by individuals for their own purposes or to sell to the affluent of their time. They are eye catching thanks to their uniqueness and the use of their wonderful colors that blend into beautiful design. Remember that these were created by very skilled individuals, sometimes for themselves and sometimes because they were mandated and paid by the rich. Whatever the case, they have proven to be valuable rugs that have withstood the test of time.
