Some Rugs Stop All Conversation

Some rugs are meant to stop conversation, others invite you to step inside and join in. Whatever conversation happens in Ernie and Jane’s living room happens around this gorgeous 9’x 12′ Beljik.

Ernie wasn’t really looking for a rug when he came to the Rug Room in Ephrata. As someone who enjoys the Arts Ernie didn’t just walk past the rug piles or ignored the rugs hanging on the walls. We encourage any customer, serious shopper or just curious, to touch the rugs to feel the richness of the fibers, take in the intricate designs and appreciate the artistry that goes into the making of each and every one of our rugs.

While flipping through the rug piles, just to take a look, it didn’t take Ernie long to discover this Beljik. What made him stop where the hallmark features of the Beljik, the remarkable colors of varying shades of deep reds and blues. On the Rug Types & Designs page we describe that these rugs are generally considered to be the finest of all tribal style rugs. They are made with finely-spun wool and knotted into intricate geometric patterns with complex borders.

Long story short, this unique Beljik with a larger than usual cream background and eye-catching center medallion caught Ernie’s heart and soon found a place in his home. It is now the centerpiece of the living room and enjoys many a conversation.

    Top 3 Concerns of Many Rug Customers

    Amir explains bunyaad rugs.When working in the rug room, we hear many of the same fears over and over again and yet by the time most folks leave, they have some peace of mind. Are these some of your concerns?

    1. How will I ever decide from all of these rugs?

    I think this is my all-time favorite concern. Folks walk up to the rug piles with their dimensions and fabric samples in hand, leave out a heavy sigh and proclaim they don’t know how they’ll ever narrow down their choices with so many rugs in our rug room to choose from.

    Honestly, our rug piles can look daunting with over 25 different styles of rugs to choose from and sizes ranging from 2’x3′ to 10’x14′.

    With each customer, we explain that as we look together we will go through all piles that are of interest to them, starting from the top and flipping down to the bottom of the pile. As we bring the rugs back down again, ones that are of interest will get rolled and laid on the floor for customers to compare side by side.

    Two kids, two dogs, two styles of rugs

    A Chobi welcomes you to the home of Liz and Scott.

    Two friendly bulldogs were my welcoming committee and my first indicator that all of the Bunyaad rugs in the home of Liz and Scott were not just on display but on the floor to be used. That, I have to say, is the best recommendation we can ever receive. Liz mentioned several times during my visit that they kept coming back for more Bunyaad rugs because they knew that the rugs could easily handle their active family life.

    Look at this rug. Really look at it. What comes to your mind?

    Upon discovering this rug as he checked in the new shipment, our co-worker Doug proclaimed that he was convinced that Dr. Seuss had something to do with this rug. “Look! Look at those trees! Don’t they remind you of Truffula trees from The Lorax?”. At first, we rolled our eyes but we then saw what he meant.

    Ephrata Rug Room under Renovation

    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.
