Written by Karen Bates (last updated May 8, 2017)

The flooring in your home can really have an impact on the overall look and feel of your house's interior. The color or type of carpeting you have or the kind of wood or tile flooring in an area can completely change the room. If you are putting new flooring into a room, you will want to think about it carefully since the look can drastically transform your home.

Of course, if you want to make a change to your flooring situation without replacing anything, you have some options. One of the best ways to make a change is with the addition of area rugs. Putting a rug in a room can add interest and excitement to an otherwise ordinary room.

Turkish rugs are some of the most gorgeous and desirable kinds of rugs in the world. The look of these rugs adds a very elegant appearance to a room, and although these rugs can be quite expensive they are often a much sought-after decorating piece for many people. Each carpet is totally unique and adds its own personality and charm to a room with its amazing colors and patterns.

Turkish rugs come from different regions of Turkey and are available in many types. Wool, silk, and cotton are common materials used to create these beautiful rugs, and the price of the rug will usually depend on the materials used as well as the size of the rug. To create the vibrant and beautiful colors on these rugs, the rug maker will use either natural or chemical dyes to achieve a certain look.

Turkish rugs can be found in different shapes. The most common is rectangular, but you can also get these carpets as runners or in a square shape. These rugs come in sizes to fit various areas of the home, from a small room to a large space.

Turkish rugs can range in price from a few hundred to thousands of dollars. It is important that you take special care of this rug to prevent damage and stains. If you do need to clean the rug, it is advisable to have a professional company do the job for you.

You can find Turkish rugs in many places. Of course, you could go to Turkey yourself to choose your rug, but if such a trip isn't feasible you have other options. Try searching stores online and do careful research, especially if you aren't sure where to begin and need information.
