Braided Oval Area Rug

October, 2009

oval braided area rugThis beautiful braided area rug is made of cotton, and it has a wonderful blend of colors which lends it the name of “Firecracker”. This braided area rug is oval shaped and comes in sizes ranging from a small 2′ by 4′, to a large 8′ by 10′ variation which would be ideal in front of a warm crackling fire.

The oval area rug is made up of a flat braided construction which combines the colors red, white, blue and yellow together making it both patriotic and colorful. These primary color combinations fit well into many different room color schemes and designs too, so it’s sure to fit almost any style decor.

I personally love using small braided area rugs in the kitchen. They make the room more inviting and they’re handy to stand on when working at the sink. The small versions would fit well into guest bathrooms as well.

Try using a larger version of this braided rug at the side or foot of your bed, particularly if you have hardwood floors. Not only will the rug help keep your feet off the cold floor in winter, but the braided rug design compliments a wood floor perfectly.

Last but not least, be sure to put a large oval braided rug - or even a braided rug runner - in front of the fireplace in the den or family room. The durable construction of a braided rug helps keep the floor from being marred by stray fireplace embers, and the design of an oval shaped braided rug is particularly striking in front of a fireplace, because it evokes a strong old fashioned at home feeling.

Most people prefer the look of a braided rug in a room which has touches of southwestern or country design schemes, and these rugs are definitely right at home in a rustic or cabin style design themed room too.

Braided area rugs can be cleaned regularly using a regular crevice tool on your vaccuum cleaner. You can spot clean spills with a damp cloth and non bleach cleanser as needed. For full and deep cleaning it’s best to take the rug to a professional cleaning service.
