Whatever the design, ensure that it fully complements or contrasts the room you are using it properly and not to detract to the overall effect you are trying to achieve. Always remember that area rugs are kept on the floor and not hung on walls as some are opt to do.

The most obvious reason why these rugs are more advantageous and practical is that they do not involve killing any living animal so your conscience will be free. In addition they are a lot easier to maintain, as they are washable and will not exude any stink if properly washed and taken cared of. In addition they are more durable and can resist wear and tear unlike the real one.
