Things to Keep in Mind Before Buying a Light-Colored Area Rug – Sedona AZ
Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care and a common theme I keep seeing pop up in magazines these days are beautiful furnished rooms with gorgeous area rugs with the center piece. The rug ties everything together and gives a great look to the entire room. Nine times out of ten, however, the rug is light or another very light color. Great idea! In theory…
Having a light-colored area rug as the centerpiece to a busy
area of your home may not be the best idea.
On the other hand, if you have an area rug in a room that sees very little traffic (like a guest bedroom for instance), a light-colored rug may work well for you! It always seems like light-colored rugs attract soil way more than rugs that have busy patterns and deeper colors. Of course, this isn’t the case, but they do SHOW more soil than other area rugs. This can be a problem in the areas of your home that see a lot of traffic (like the kitchen, hallway, or even the family room).
Area rugs are great filters for our homes, collecting everything from dry soil to dust and other microscopic allergens. For some of us, our area rugs are subject to pet accidents as well. Urine stains can be a real eyesore and sometimes may even be permanent. Light-colored area rugs may not be the best idea for your home if you have a pet that has the occasional accident on your other area rugs.
Keep in mind that, while light-colored area rugs look nice, they also require deep cleaning more often. At Arizona Oriental, we know that it can be difficult finding the PERFECT rug for our homes. After all, it has to look great and compliment the rest of our interior decorating! We are here to help with any of your cleaning needs for light-colored area rugs.
