Before You Buy Braided Rugs

Braided rugs come in many shapes and color schemes, so you can find one to go with any décor. These rugs come in unique shapes to suit specific situations. The color schemes range from themed to solid color to multicolor. Braided rugs typically fill open flooring to pull together a room’s elements. These thick, cozy rugs are meant to be walked on and lend themselves to snuggling on the floor in front of the fireplace or TV.

If you put one under your dining room or kitchen table, leave 24 inches on each side of the table for the carpet to poke out. While this looks fabulous, this decorating tip ensures that guests can pull out their chair without the back legs leaving the carpet. When you use these cozy rugs as a room rug, leave at least eight inches between the wall and the rug’s edge.

Braided Rugs Features to Consider

You can blot clean most of these braided rugs. Others you would spot clean or machine wash. Hang them on the line to dry or throw them over your deck’s railing so they can appropriately air dry without molding or mildewing. You can find both indoor and outdoor rugs at LuxeDecor.

Outdoor rugs typically use synthetic materials made to look and feel like natural materials, such as Colonial Mills’ treatment of synthetic materials to create a linen rug you can use on your deck or patio. The benefit of these outdoor rugs is that you can simply hose them off when they get dirty.

Indoor rugs come in a wider variety of materials. You can find indoor rugs crafted from cotton, jute, seagrass, wool, and synthetic materials. Which you choose depends on your needs and décor. Cotton and jute typically provide thinner braids, while wool provides a thicker material that feels warm underfoot. Seagrass provides tougher materials that lend themselves to use on a portico or patio. These thinner braids typically come in tan or brown since the weavers use natural seagrass.
