What makes having a rug necessary?
Area rugs have been crafted for centuries and have evolved into various styles, including Moroccan regional rugs, knotted rugs, antique Persian rugs, and hand-woven varieties. But the important question is, why do we need carpets?
The primary reason for carpets is their ability to provide warmth in colder places. Historically, Central Asian shepherds had abundant wool and sought protection from the cold, leading to the invention of carpets to insulate their rooms.
Beyond providing warmth, carpets also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space, which is our second reason for needing them.
Thirdly, a rug can make a strong impression on visitors. The first thing people notice when they enter your home is your room, and a well-chosen rug can reflect your personality, helping you make a positive first impression.
Lastly, carpets are practical because they are easy and inexpensive to replace compared to other types of flooring, which can be costly and time-consuming to install.
