Braided Rugs

Posted Feb-22-08 11:18:11 PST Updated Feb-22-08 11:24:01 PST
Maybe it’s because I grew up close to New England, but I’ve always had a thing for braided rugs, especially the classic oval wool ones with which we’re all familiar. I actually just got a beautiful one with a monochromatic weave that I’m using for a project in Connecticut. I think they’re wonderful because not only do they come in all sorts of cool color and shape variations, they’re totally durable and often times they’re reversible. You can use them anywhere in your home and there are even some made from polypropylene that you can use in an outdoor space.

Here are just a few great examples of braided rugs I’ve seen on eBay.

braided rugs are beautiful, especially the handmade ones. They take so much work. I used to repair oriental rugs and braided rugs at my parents rug shop. I have so much admiration for anyone that hand makes them. The machine made ones are nice also, but just don't have as much character.

Hi! :)
