Pick area rugs with bold patterns and touchable textures. There are no rules when it comes to Bohemian Chic Floor Decor yet warm earthy colors are very common. The key to this type of interior style is to mix and match. Think rich burgundy, fiery orange, smoky charcoal, gold and other colors in that family. Jewel tones like saturated magenta and purple, along with electric blue are often used to create Bohemian Chic Floor Decor. The key to using color in bohemian decorating is to think warm. White has no place in Bohemian Chic Floor Decor.

Be sure to mix lots of patterns and don’t be afraid to use colors that wouldn’t necessarily go together in a conventional way. Layer throws on top of furniture and hang tapestries and area rugs on the wall to balance the decor on the floor. Look for rugs that are flat woven or Kilims that have a slightly worn look to them, or even a vintage area rug. The older the rug the better! Bohemian Chic Floor Decor is all about putting multiple patterns together so they interact rather than distract each other.

How can you tell a hand knotted rug from other types?

How can you tell a hand knotted rug from other types? Easy. Take a look at the back. Go to the rug, flip a corner and check out the back of the rug, it should show the same clear pattern as the front. Another way to tell is to trust the store or online site you are purchasing from. There are several reasons why a hand knotted rug is typically more expensive than other hand made rugs. Hand knotted area rug designs are more intricate and use the most labor intensive rug weaving process today. Typically, hand knotted area rugs have a more defined and distinctive design than a hand tufted or machine made area rug because of the way they are made. Let me help you understand. 1.

The first step in protecting your area rugs against moths is to educate yourself about moths. Moths are picky little pests that eat animal fibers such as wool, silk, cashmere, angora or fur, or any other materials that contain keratin. However, they only eat animal fibers that are idle and undisturbed. What do we mean by that? Take, for example, the portion of an area rug that lies under a bed or sits under a couch.

These area rugs would be ideal candidates for moths since they are idle; they are not being disturbed.
