So it doesn't matter whether you want woven, hand-tied, machine-made, tasseled, or braided area rugs, you're bound to find them.

Hand-tied rugs are known to be highly preferred by many homeowners because they are long-lasting and considered an ideal investment, with most machine-made types bringing value and beauty to them. Based on that, which one is right for you, especially considering the pattern, color, style, weave, etc.? Now you can take a good look at the different types of area rugs and you can choose the most suitable one for you and your home based on the aforementioned features.

• Natural Fiber Rugs: The use of seaweed, bamboo, sisal, hemp and jute fibers in the manufacture of carpets is a welcome development, especially for 'green' enthusiasts, as it is renewable and eco-friendly. This type of carpet is particularly suitable for areas that are not used constantly, as they are difficult to clean when dirty and wear out quickly with constant use.

• Floral and Printed Rugs: This type of area rug is best for homes or apartments that have simple furnishings that tend to be monotonous. Decorating with floral and printed rugs can add some vibrant color to your apartment and automatically remove that drab look in your home.

• Woven Pattern Rugs: These affordable types of rugs typically come in contemporary, floral, color block and striped patterns or designs. If you want to create a soft background in your home, you should choose a color that blends seamlessly with your home furnishings. On the other hand, if your home is simple and needs some kind of focal point, then you should choose bold colors.

• Moroccan Rugs: When it comes to area rugs, Moroccan rugs should never be overlooked as they are officially classified as an item that tourists take home with them. They are not only durable, but also colorful and decorative. However, this cheaper type of rug is known to not fade and in most cases the smeared color will stain the floor just below the rug and should be avoided.

• Persian Rugs: This type of area rug is originally from Iran. They are made using designs and technologies that are thousands of years old. Whether you're looking for a tightly knotted rug or a rug with great color and interesting design, this rug is for you. Rugs are mostly made from silk and wool and are known to last a long time.

• Oriental Rugs: Many people think or tend to believe that all oriental rugs are from Iran, but this is not true. Although Iran produces these types of rugs, other countries such as India and China are also known to have their own designs and styles of these rugs. It is best suited for homes with high daily traffic, as they are made of silk or wool and can withstand anything.

There are different types of area rugs, but just mentioning these few, I believe your task will not be tricky any more when choosing an area rug based primarily on design, texture, color and style.
