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.”

  • Knot Brothers, The Movie

    KnotBrothersSquare
    We talk a lot about how every knot in a Bunyaad rug is tied by hand but we were recently reminded that we don’t often talk about HOW every knot is tied.
    Our rugs use primarily two types of knots: the Senna knot and the Turkish knot.

    The Senna knot is an asymmetrical knot and is used in the majority of our rugs, from Persians to Chobi tribals. It is virtually formed with a figure 8 around two warp threads.

    The Turkish knot is also tied around two warp threads but instead of a figure 8, it is a knot where both ends of the wool come out together instead of on either side of one warp thread, like the Senna knot.

    Confused yet? Let us show you how these knots are tied, as only our staff can… with a little movie.

    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.
