Guest Picks: Hot Trends in Rugs for All Budgets
http://www.decor-ideas.org 11/10/2013 03:30 Decor Ideas
As the cool weather sets in, you might want to pick up a cozy area rug or two. Below I have selected rugs in the hottest trends at all price points. There is something for everybody. I chose them in various really generous sizes that will make a statement and listed them in three price categories: high, middle and low. (Some "low" rugs are priced higher than their "middle" counterparts, but that's only because they're larger.) Bonus: Many of these sites offer free shipping. Happy shopping! — Valorie from The Visual Vamp
Green Over-Dyed Ziegler Rug - $7,520 High: The overdyed rug really took off this past year. To get the look, vintage or antique rugs are stripped of color and then saturated with vibrant contemporary colors. Silk and wool rugs are the costliest.

NuLoom Vintage-Inspired Over-Dyed Rug, Turquoise - $389.03 Low: On a budget? This collection of synthetic overdyed rugs has a great vintage look. I actually have one in my office and love it.
I shopped low! Here's the synthetic overdyed rug in my office, in chartreuse. I really love how it looks.

NuLoom Hand-Knotted Moroccan Trellis Natural Shag Wool Rug - $450.59 Middle: Antique Moroccan rugs are pricey. This wool-blend rug has the look of an antique at a fraction of the price.
