Where to Start

Before you begin, take a little time to think about size and color; it will save you a lot of time. Draw a rough sketch of your room with the dimensions noted and furniture placed. If you're shopping for a dining room rug, know the size of the table; you don't want your chairs falling off the edge of the rug when you back up from the table. For stair runners, count the number of risers (each step has a riser and tread). Most new rugs come in sizes from 2 feet by 3 feet to 10 feet by 14 feet—although some come in larger sizes. Runners are typically 30 inches wide. If you are Buying Rug Online then you should know the Rug Size.

What to Look For

3. Age
4. Condition
5. Decorative demand

Most people quite literally "get tied up in knots" judging the quality of Oriental rugs. There are more important things to judge by. The weave should be fine enough to clearly express the motifs of the design. A design may have less than 100 knots per square inch while a detailed floral pattern may require 300 or more. While tightness and regularity of weave are important, the quality of the wool determines the resilience and lasting patina of a rug. The quality and fastness of the dyes are also important.
