A Rug Should Fit Your Home, Your Lifestyle

A rug should fit your home. A rug should fit your lifestyle. A rug should be easy to take care off. A rug should… Fill in the space for what you think a rug should do. These are all valid expectations when you are looking to find a rug for your home.

How will you know that a rug will fit?

We work with customers every day and guide them through the process of selecting a rug, sharing our knowledge and understanding of how a Bunyaad rug is made and able to withstand many years of active living. Our favorite stories to tell though are those we hear from our customers who own a Bunyaad rug. These stories best answer the questions above as they show how you can find a rug to fit your home and your lifestyle.

Rug Expectations? Yes. Rug Found? Oh Yes!

Wanessa, our accountant here at the Bunyaad Rug Room at Ten Thousand Villages in Ephrata, shares how she found the rug that answered all of her “a rug should” expectations.

We use our living room
all the time.

“I’m in love with my rug and very happy to share with you!

Even more than furniture, a rug can have a huge impact on the look of a space. The rug I bought was for my living room. I knew it should be durable and easy to clean. We use our living room all the time and I didn’t want to see the dirt easily. I want my family and friends to enjoy my house instead of being concerned about dropping things on my rug.

I had a low quality rug in my living room before. I could not make it to stay flat, no matter what I tried. I had furniture on top of it and I even hammered some nails through it and into my floor but my old rug didn’t stay the way it was supposed to.

The green beautifully complements the rest of the decor.

Bunyaad rugs are durable and exceptional quality, which you really don’t find too many places. The Chobis are known by being firm and sturdy and in my opinion, they are one of the best options when are placing your rug on top of wall-to-wall carpet. The Chobi lies flat and straight. They have muted modern neutral colors which are by far what I like most. They simply work in any space.

Another reason I chose my rug was the color. I chose this specific rug because I had a color in mind. The color green! Yes green! In my opinion green is one of the most important colors in a house. Green is the color of nature and it brings a lot of balance and harmony to a room. It gives a refreshing statement that reflects one of the most natural and abundant colors in nature, which during winter when everything is so grey outside, gives me the sense of life. And also the overall color of the rug fits perfectly into my love of neutral colors.

Well, I absolutely love the new addition to my living room. It’s a gorgeous handmade, 100% wool rug, unique and complements my living room exactly the way my husband and I wanted.”

Wanessa lives in Lancaster County with her husband and super cute and loving daughter. She grew up in Curitiba, Brazil and moved in 2006 to the U.S. From a city of 2 million people to a little gorgeous town in Lancaster County, Wanessa continues to be fascinated with the Amish old-fashioned lifestyle.

Wanessa knew exactly what she wanted and took her time to pick the rug that is perfect for her life. Looking through our extensive rug inventory can be a bit overwhelming at first, so we encourage you to explore the rug types we offer first to see what you are drawn to.

    A Quilt and a Kazak Living in Perfect Harmony

    Quilt
    When I walked into the home of Gill and Dave my eyes went straight to the quilt on the wall in the living room. I love symmetry and vibrant, yet harmonious color combinations and this quilt was a perfect example showcasing both. What made the quilt stand out even more though was the Tribal Kazak sitting almost underneath as part of a cozy sitting area.

    As an artist, Gill is drawn to handmade, finely crafted products. Even before moving to the US many years ago she had discovered Bunyaad Rugs online and searched our extensive inventory for the perfect rug for her new home. She appreciates how much care is put into each rug and delights in exploring design details and how they will work with her furniture pieces and other art work.

    … or adventures on a rug as Gil Melo recalls childhood memories

    I have been fond of adventures my whole life. I always look forward to face the dangerous and perilous places around the world.

    I have climbed the highest mountains and the deepest seas, visited volcanoes and ran through places full of lava. I’ve flown over numerous canyons and evoked my paleontologist vein into dark caverns.

    But there is nothing more exciting than driving my car along sinuous roads, surrounded by cliffs and snowy lanes prone to avalanches, speeding through deserts and sliding over sand dunes.

    Modern Chic Meets Timeless Classics

    Rugs at Parade of Homes

    When designing our homes we want the overall effect to be a pleasing whole. The wallpaper shouldn’t fight with the sofa fabric, the styles of furniture shouldn’t compete with each other. You put time, energy and money into creating an authentic space that will be lived in by real people. YOU and your family!

    Modern chic is relatively timeless as the basic design elements change only minimally and translate across decades. This is were Bunyaad rugs come in and add a timeless beauty and individuality that make your home personal and a most comfortable place to live in.
