Buying a blue cotton rug for your household is essentially the same as buying a rug of any colour.
However, what can a rug adds to your room, and why do many prefer a rug over the more traditional carpet? In this guide, we will explore a bit more about cotton rugs.
Ease of Blue Cotton Rugs
A rug can be extremely easy to use when compared to a carpet. To start, if you spill something on a rug then it is much easier to wash than a carpet. In the instance that it has been damaged ‘beyond worthwhile repair’ then you have not spent as much as you would have on a carpet. This means that some of the worry is lifted from you when you are in the other room, and you hear that dreaded sound of a glass hitting the floor!
Furthermore, a rug is much easier to ‘install’ in your household. If you move into a house that has hard wood floors, but this is not to your preference then you have two options, a carpet, or a large cotton rug (covering ½ to ¾ of the room).
When you buy a cotton rug you also do not need to get it fitted by anybody (or do it yourself), which can often be expensive or very time consuming.
Price of Blue Cotton Rugs
As mentioned before, a blue cotton rug will cost a lot less than a carpet, when you take into account the instillation and actual purchase cost. Due to the recession, some households that want to make major home improvements cannot, however, the addition of a cotton rug can ensure that your house looks like it has had a ‘makeover’ without you forking out thousands of pounds.
A large blue cotton rug (8 by 2 feet) will cost you less than £90 to buy, while a carpet of the same size would cost a lot more when you have taken into account the cost and instillation of the carpet.
Design of Blue Cotton Rugs
In plenty of houses, a blue cotton rug can sometimes look better than a carpet. If you have cream, or blue coloured walls than a nicely designed blue rug can look terrific when you compare it to a carpet.
One of the main reasons why people prefer to use rugs is because keeping timber floors adds character to the house, but having a ‘soft’ area is also beneficial. If you have a carpet installed then you lose all the natural character, which you would get with a timber floor. Therefore, buying a large rug allows you to get the best of both worlds.
When all is said and done, you have to compare the benefits of a cotton rug against a carpet. For a start, it is almost a guarantee that you will be saving a lot of money if you opt for a rug. It is also much easier to install and maintain. However, some people prefer having a fully carpeted floor; therefore, the decision is really up to your household. |
