The Best Area Rugs for Hardwood Floors in South Amboy, NJ

Quality hardwood floors are not cheap. You get what you pay for, so make sure you invest in a superior product and professional installation service. But what can you do after your floors are installed to avoid accelerating wear and tear while boosting indoor aesthetics? Invest in a well-made area rug or two! The area rug you choose should not only be attractive, matching your style and home decor, but comfortable as well. The rug should complement the hardwood flooring without causing damage to it, and laid down safely in place to avoid slipping.

When you combine area rugs with the right rug pads, your hard floors should look nice and stay in good condition for many years to come. Below is a list of the best area rugs for hardwood floors in South Amboy, NJ:

• Natural fibers: There are area rugs made from plant fibers—such as jute, seagrass, coir and sisal—that fall into the natural-fiber category. Any of these fibers form a tightly-woven mat, and most are reversible (unless the rug has a latex back, as is the case with most seagrass and coir rugs). Avoid synthetic latex backings, because they can damage hardwood floors. Get one with natural-latex instead. Rugs made from plant fibers offer a casual look suited for contemporary or Asian-inspired decor.
• Synthetic: Rayon, nylon, polypropylene, viscose and acrylic can mimic the appearance of some natural materials, but they are indeed synthetic. Choose from a variety of styles, colors and patterns.
• Silk: Silk area rugs are probably the most expensive type of rug you can buy. However, because silk rugs are more beautiful than they are practical or durable, people typically purchase them exclusively for decorative purposes, such as for hanging on a wall. Silk is often woven into wool rugs as accents to increase the price of a mostly wool area rug. Nevertheless, silk and silk-blend rugs can make attractive accent pieces for hardwood floors. Keep in mind that silk fades easily and is more fragile if used on floors in areas that see high foot traffic.
• Wool: One of the most common rug materials for hardwood floors is wool or a wool blend. It is comfortable, easy to clean, durable and available in a flat weave or a tufted wool look. For the most part, wool rugs and wool blended with fibers like cotton are readily available in a variety of styles and patterns to pair with any color hardwood floor and home decor.
• Cotton: Yes, cotton is a natural plant fiber, but it stands in a category of its own. These types of area rugs create a casual look and comfortable feel to a room, especially on hardwood floors that sport a rustic look. Choose from a variety of patterns and styles to dress up your hard flooring.
