Different Kinds of Rugs

Rugs are textile coverings on a floor, and are a popular fixture in most British homes. Rugs are primarily functional when they were first used and woven as early as the Bronze Age. In the olden days, people used rugs to cover their dirt floors and to seal off air passages in wall slits to prevent cold air from entering the home, especially during wintertime.

The site www.rugs.co.uk is the perfect site for rug enthusiasts and collectors in the United Kingdom. It focuses on interesting rug categories, with accompanying information that makes rug collecting and personal use even more fun.

Over time, area rugs have also evolved to become accent pieces in a particular area in the home, especially in small or cramped spaces like typical London flats, where items that combine function and aesthetics are very useful.

There is also a section on beautiful Oriental rugs are favorite accent pieces in elegantly furnished British homes. These rugs refer to fine-crafted rugs that originate in the fabric-weaving regions of the East like Persia (Iran), Asia Minor (Turkey); India and Central Asia (China, Tibet).
