What to choose? Intricate patterns or simple lines?

Patterns on rug, fabric

Imagine this scenario: You come into the Rug Room looking for a plain colored rug. Why?

Well, your couch has a pattern, your love seat has a slightly different pattern, the armchair is in a contrasting color and the wallpaper and curtains all bring their own unique challenges to the design table. Too many patterns you think. The only solution to this seems to be a plain colored rug with as little pattern as possible.

Find key design elements

In the Rug Room we see this scenario many times and help our customers combine the patterns in their home with a Bunyaad rug that also offers a variety of colors and patterns. Let us show you how.

We start by looking at your fabric swatches, paint samples, floor samples and pictures of the room or anything else that you bring along to help us get a feel for the decor that already exists in your room. Then we take you through the piles to find the rug that compliments the key design elements.

In most cases, you will not go home with a plain colored rug but come back absolutely amazed how a rug, made nearly 1/2 a world away by artisans who have never seen your room, could fit into your space so perfectly.

Our rugs are diverse.

Our rugs are diverse. They are filled with a range of hues and highlights that until you get them into your room you don’t see at first. But these highlights begin to play with the other colors in your room and help to pull everything together.

Moral of the story

Take it home, try it out. If we had a penny for everyone that said “Wow, I never thought I’d get a rug to fit and now look at this!”, we would have quite a penny collection!

Shop online, visit one of our four year-round stores or come to a rug event near you. All of our rug reps will take the time to listen to your design challenges and help you find the rug that is just right for your home.

    Ephrata Rug Room under Renovation

    ByBunyaad

    RenoStaffThe Bunyaad Rug Room at Ten Thousand Villages in Ephrata is under a major renovation… painting, new flooring, the works!… but guess who is doing most of the reno…. Rug Room staff! We are finding that many of our staff have incredible hidden skills in painting tedious edges, organizing major fixture moves and otherwise keeping after a group of willing painters!

    Reno started today (updates being posted on our facebook page) and we quickly found that keeping after desk work while painting was quite difficult, especially when we had to disconnect our internet downstairs in order to paint the wall behind the router. 🙂 We will be closing this Saturday, August 1, at 3 p.m. so that we can really start making some major messes… and then we will reopen on Saturday, August 8 at 10 a.m.

    Students lined up for the beginning of the school day at St. John’s.

    After a hearty breakfast at the Chaman home we walked across the street to visit St. John’s school. The school is on the same property as St. John’s church. The school has 168 students from Kindergarten to grade 10 and 13 teachers. Families that can afford to pay a small monthly tuition. Families that can’t afford to pay can send their children for free. The Principal, Ms. Mehrul Nisa, said that 60% of the students go on to college.

    … 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.
