Buying The Right Size

Once you have found a reputable dealer, you need to figure out the right size. The size is especially important if you are buying the rug for your living room or the hallway. You would like to make sure that the carpet fits properly between the sofas. If, on the other hand, you are buying the rug for the hallway, you need to make sure that it covers the hall from one end to the other.

If you are looking for carpets for your kitchen, bedroom or entryway, you can opt for modern rugs made of wool. Since these carpets are not as expensive as Persian carpets they are ideal for these places. Wool area rugs are often preferred in kitchen and near fireplaces because they are easy to clean and maintain.

Quality Of Wool

Coming back to wool area rugs, the next thing you need to look at is the quality of the wool used. Remember that in Persian carpets only high quality wool is used. Keep a look out for imitation carpets that are made of acrylic wool.

You should also keep in mind that best quality Persian carpets are hand made. So always ask the dealer where the carpet is made. When it comes to identifying a real rug (Persian), one should look at the knots. Persian knot is very different from the knots that found in carpets made in other countries. Also remember that knots can only be found in city Persian carpets and not in the tribal Persian carpets.
