Top 5 Ways To Invest In a Hand Woven Wool Rug



There are so many options out there when it comes to buying a wool rug. With the multitude of choices available to consumers, we wanted to help and take some of the confusion out of the rug buying process and we've enlisted Good Weave (text in quotes) to help. 

1. Find a good quality rug dealer/retailer who will stand behind the products they sell and provide information based on knowledge. This is what brick and mortar stores are for. Buying rugs online can be tough and will often lead to an expensive mistake.  "The best rug dealers are born educators who love to share their knowledge with you and guide you without bullying. They will encourage you to take rugs home on approval without obligation."

2. Prepare for your new rug. Measure or schedule an appointment with one of our designers to measure for you. "Remember, you should probably have a border of flooring all the way around the rug. Allow for a range of sizes; the greater the range, the more choices you will have."

3. Do you prefer modern rugs or traditional rugs? If you aren't sure, this is another opportunity to speak with one of our designers and decide what style is best in your home. 

4. Don't judge a rug based on the height of the pile.  "Inexperienced rug buyers sometimes mistake a thick pile for quality. In fact, the finest rugs often are the thinnest. Still, if a rug is going to take significant traffic, it should have plenty of body."

5. Finally, buy what you love. Don't listen to your friend or your neighbor. Listen to your gut. Buying a rug is just like buying art. When you see "the one", you'll just feel it:-)
