How Are Area Rugs Made?
Area rugs are created using either traditional handmade or modern machine-made techniques:
Handmade Rugs
Each knot is tied by hand, making these one-of-a-kind pieces durable and timeless investments. Handmade rugs often use natural materials like wool and silk, and the artistry can take months or even years to complete.
Machine Made Rugs
Created on automated looms, they offer affordable, stylish options in various designs and sizes. These rugs are typically made from synthetic fibers like nylon and olefin, making them durable and budget-friendly.

Before You Buy an Area Rug
At Factory Flooring & Design, we’re here to help you find the ideal area rug for your home. Whether you’re adding a design centerpiece, defining an open floor plan, or creating comfort, we have options for every style and space.
Size & Shape
Measure your space carefully to find the right size. For larger rooms, leave a 12”-15” border of flooring exposed to frame the rug.
Color & Pattern
Choose colors that enhance your existing décor. Select between floral, geometric, or pictorial designs to suit your aesthetic.
Style
Match your rug to your existing space's overall aesthetic—traditional, modern, natural, or eclectic.
Budget
Consider additional costs like high-quality padding, delivery, and professional cleaning to ensure long-term value.
Area Rug Maintenance
Keep your area rugs looking great with these simple tips:
- Vacuum Regularly: Use a vacuum with no beater bar for delicate rugs and avoid vacuuming the fringes.
- Rotate: Turn your rug every few months to prevent uneven wear and sun fading.
- Spot Clean Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. Use mild soap and water for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Professional Cleaning: Schedule a professional deep clean every 2-5 years, depending on traffic levels.
- Padding: Use proper rug padding to reduce wear and protect floors.
- Storage: When storing, roll the rug (against the nap) and use moth protection for long-term care.
For Handmade Rugs: Consult professionals for cleaning and repairs to preserve their quality and value.
