Braided Rugs For Modern Hardwearing Floor Decor

Also: Polypropylene Braided Rugs, Capel Rugs, Square Braided Rugs

The use of braided rugs in modern homes has become increasingly popular in recent years. In fact, they are one of the most sought after styles of area rugs if online shopping is anything to go by. This type of floor covering does have a contemporary appeal, despite the fact that braided rugs have been around for well over a century, and can serve a role in any room in the home.

Shadowbox braided rugBut....what is a braided rug? Braiding is a form of weaving, whereby the weaver intertwines or interweaves three or more strands of a fiber. It is a method used for making strong ropes, but has also become a common means of weaving a carpet or rug. The braided end result is quite distinctive, and clearly has a modern appeal, and is appropriate for use in a bathroom, dining or any other room, as well as on any type of floor.

Cotton side oval braided rugBraiding offers the opportunity to mix colors and materials, and produce an unusual or unique effect. The first picture (above left) for example, combines several colors and shades, as you can see, but also materials. This area rug by Capel is made from a mix of nylon, wool, polyester, and a Rayon/Acrylic Blend

Braided rugs can make quite an impact if the room decor is carefully chosen to display the rug to full effect. More often than not, though, people will plan the rest of the decor first, and then decide on the floor covering as an after thought.

One advantage of rugs as opposed to a fitted wall to wall carpet, is that they can come in different shapes and sizes. In the case of the second picture (above left) the oval braided rug offers a double contrast. If used against a plain tiled or wooden floor, it can provide a sharp and ourstanding contrast. Also, many rooms are overburdened with rectangles and straight lines, so the use of an oval or circular shape can provide a contrast and relief. That particular example, unlike the first, is made from just two materials, 95% cotton, and 5% polyester. The final picture shows a rectangular braided rug that has had its straight lines softened gently.
