Many Colors: Oval Rugs
If you have wood flooring in your home and you are tired of seeing it scratched, scraped and banged up, there is one quick fix. Invest in an area rug. Rugs protect high traffic areas and keep your floor looking nice while adding a homey touch to any room. But if you have tried putting rugs down and find that they often curl and become stumbling blocks—tripping hazards, you will be glad to know there is a solution for this as well. Purchasing oval rugs will eliminate your tripping problem while keeping your floors safe.
The traditional oval rug is made from woven fiber ropes wound in a flat spiral. You have commonly seen them in vintage houses and often appreciated the decorative style they added to the rooms they were placed in. What you may not have considered was the many needs they fill. Rugs help keep houses warm during the cold season. They prevent scratches to the surface of wood floors and protection from pet traffic as well. They do all of this while providing great fashion to every location you place them.
Considering the material you would like your rug to be is important. For example, purchasing a shag rug can be great if you commonly take your shoes off. They are soft and warm on the bare foot. If it is intended to be protection for your floors you might want a bamboo rug or weave. While they are not warm or cozy, they are the best for keeping finish on wood and breath very well. Any variation of cotton or wool might also be a good choice. Thin cotton and wool rugs are easy to clean if you keep pets in your home. They can be laundered without being damaged and with a variety of colors and patterns, look great.
