RUGS FROM A LAND FAR AWAY

Rugs are a central design element in the house and sometimes the more intricate the design the better foundation it will become for everything else that is to go in the room.

Many times when consumers will take the time to travel to the local marketplaces of Peru or Turkey when they are searching for a rug, they know they may not find in their homeland for the same price.

Many times the rug becomes the focal point if everything else around it has been strategically placed. The patterns and the weaving techniques that the natives of those countries utilize when making their rugs are second to none.

Also, many consumers will opt for the look that Moroccan rugs will bring to their home. Some of the best rug weavers are found in places such as India, Peru, Turkey, and Morocco. When you take the time to visit the marketplace of the above-mentioned countries, you will have no easy decision to make if you are there to buy a rug. The care and the quality of the materials and designs are not found here in the United States unless they have been imported from those countries straight to the retailer you are purchasing it from. 

However, if you are not able to travel to these beautiful places in order to purchase a rug but you still wish to have one, all is not lost, there are many different online merchants that will offer you the same quality rugs that you would have been able to select from in the open market. Once you begin shopping online you will be presented with a wide variety and beautifully artistically woven rugs that will make you want to buy one for every room in your home. Although it’s not the same as having the disposable cash to fly to Marrakech and spend time at the market visiting the rug shops in Fez, therefore, buying online is the next best thing to being there.

When a homeowner is looking for a central piece of merchandise for their entryway, they will be able to select from many different brightly colored pieces that are found in a Moroccan rug collection. Purchasing one of these rugs as a runner in the foyer of your home can be a conversation piece within itself. 

Depending on the style and shape of your rug, you may not want to put it on the floor, but you may want to show off its beauty by using it as a wall hanging or throwing it over the ledge that is in your loft. However, if the time ever comes and you do have the pleasure of going to Marrakech it is useful to have some type of idea of what you will be required to pay for a rug at the market.

It will also be helpful to know in advance that you should act as though you are not as much in love with the product as you actually are. The more nonchalant you are the better price you will receive. Know that you have to be a strong negotiator and stick firm to your price, or you will end up paying way too much dirham for what you are buying. 

Therefore, if you are in the market for a rug that will bring life to the floors in your home or become an exciting work of art to hang on the wall in the room of your choice---then buying a Moroccan rug is going to get you started in the right direction.
