Frequently Asked Questions About Area Rugs
Are all area rugs the same shape: rectangular?
Area rugs come in all shapes and sizes from long rectangles to smaller circles and everything in between. Whether you are looking for a traditional rug, a transitional piece or need a more contemporary feel, Kermans Design Consultants can help you find the style that fits your needs.
What’s the difference between a hand-knotted rug and a machine-made rug?
Rich in history and hue, Oriental area rugs are the aristocrats of area rugs and are prized in any design scheme. Kermans carries traditional jewel tone rugs as well as a wide variety of more modern earth tones. Authentic hand-knotted Oriental area rugs may take years to create, but can wear well for more than a century. In recent years, machine-made rugs have gained in popularity and are often indistinguishable from hand-made rugs. Kermans is proud to carry the highest quality machine-made rugs from the leading dealer in the industry: Karastan. Each carries a 20-year warranty.
Should the furniture be half on the rug, completely on the rug, or not on the rug at all?
There is no single answer. For a large area rug you may choose to place the furniture can be half on the rug, completely on the rug, or not on the rug at all. A small rug can simply add interest under your coffee table.
