If it’s time to revamp, there’s no better way to go from zero to hero than with a fresh new rug. And no, I’m not talking about the a hair piece (I much prefer a smooth scalp to an artificial cover-up) But let’s face it, Aladdin had the right idea, rugs are pretty cool, they’re plush, they create instant warmth and they can fly you from Sydney to Brisbane in like 5 minutes. But I digress…
Choosing the right rug for any interior can be a real drag. There are so many types to choose from and the final decision can make all the difference to the look and feel of a room. Whether you’re starting from scratch and decorating a new room or simply wanting to update your existing room, you must consider ALL the options – and yep, there’s a heap!

From traditional to modern, vibrant to neutral, there’s an endless array of patterns and a colour palette that would make Picasso weak at the knees. But that’s not all, you’ve then got short haired, natural fibre rugs, hallway runners, outdoors rugs and let’s not sweep shag pile under the carpet, cos we all like a good shag every now and then!

You have bought a gorgeous oriental rug from Deals Direct that you admire every time you are in the room. Oriental rugs are not just lovely to look at, but they also have a fantastic history behind them.

The earliest Oriental rug found, is the Pazyryk carpet found in the underground burial tomb of a Scythian Chieftain. It is believed to be over two thousand years old. As trade links with Middle East became more established from the 17th century on oriental rugs became increasingly popular with the western market.

Between the 17th century and 19th century the growth of the middle class meant oriental rugs were seen as a luxury item. This caused the increase in production of the rugs for the western market from Caucasus, Anatolian, India and China. This made the oriental rugs the popular ones we now know today.
