The look, feel, and performance of any area rug are dependent on the materials.

It is important to consider where the rug will be positioned and the conditions to which the rug is exposed.

What type of material should you choose for your rug? This is one of the first questions that you should ask yourself when looking for a rug for your home or office.

The look, feel, and performance of any area rug is generally dependent on the materials used for its construction. Every fabric and fiber has its own distinctive advantages and it is important to pick the material that fits your needs.

Will the rug be in a high-traffic area? Will it be underneath furniture? Do you have kids or pets that will live in the area where the rug is placed? These are all important factors to consider when choosing an area rug.

Some people prefer rugs made with wool fiber. Some prefer polypropylene. Some people just don’t care what the fiber is.

However, it is important to consider where the rug will be positioned and it is equally important to consider the conditions that the rug will be exposed to.

There are “pros” and “cons” for every fiber. Unless you want to be a fiber expert, you do not have to know all of them; just the important ones because fiber production keeps getting more sophisticated in eliminating or leveling these “pros” and “cons”.Here are a few major points to consider:

Does the foot traffic constantly pass on one edge?
Is the foot traffic at a turning point?
Does someone constantly sit with shoes on in the same place all the time?
Do young children play with toys on it?
Are there pets?
Is the rug for the bedroom, kitchen or living room where someone usually drinks, eats or snacks?
Do you want a soft sumptuous feel, regular feel or a flat dense feel?
