Rapturous Rugs

From caves to castles rugs are a timeless way to revitalize a room. They come in all kinds of natural materials: wool, cotton, jute, bamboo and sisal. They can be hand-knotted, flat-woven, hooked or machine-made. They are culturally diverse: Persian, Oriental, Turkish, Tibetan or Native American. Rugs are also kinder on the environment. Easy cleaning means healthier homes, and artisan rug makers put less strain on natural resources. Be style savvy and earth-friendlier—choose rugs.
