Natural Looking Area Rugs For Your Home

Seagrass carpets are a type of area rug that is as versatile as it is durable. Naturally stain-resistant, they can enhance your décor with its natural sheen and are relatively inexpensive to purchase.

The words seagrass carpet have a very romantic and exotic ring to them. The images that come to mind are of calm waters, cool underwater greens, blues and blue-greens, possibly in a dark setting, right? At the very least, seagrass carpet evoke a natural source.

The seagrass carpets natural colors range from browns to grays and tans. They are great camouflage for the dirt that can be tracked in and are therefore excellent in areas with a lot of traffic such as entryways, patios and porches. Seagrass carpets are also good a number of areas around the home for other characteristics than their ability to hide dirt. They can endure the heaviest amount of foot traffic and are extremely sturdy, coping well with vigorous sweeping, vacuuming, and beating (should you still perform the age-old practice of beating the dust out of your rugs). Seagrass carpets are also pretty much stain-resistant as the fibers they are made of Further, it is virtually stain-resistant, as the fibers they are made of do not absorb liquids: this is why they are very rarely dyed as the dye cannot be absorbed.

Seagrass carpets are also popular for their lustrous gloss and luminosity, which can remind you of the reflective undersides of grass blades.

The natural fiber used to make seagrass rugs grows in vast paddies in the coastal wetlands of countries such as India and China. Specialist supplier http://ezcarpets.uk explains that during the growing season, the paddies are "flooded with sea water." Seagrass carpets are cheap to produce and therefore relatively cheap to buy. They are one of the most versatile types of floor coverings, and come in many appealing weaves that include designs such as the "seashore" weave (rowed fibers with alternating fiber tie downs), the "sea basket" (fibers thatched in squares), "sea bass," "sea breeze," and "seashell" designs (which are symmetrical styles of herringbone mesh).

When designed for indoor use such as dining or living area, seagrass carpets feature various types of borders stitched on for a great visual effect, using materials like leather, tapestry, wool, or a cotton rim. They also come with reinforced backing, or padding, to increase traction and longevity. The underside is commonly made of jute, glued on with a natural, chemical-free adhesive, or latex.

Seagrass carpets look and feel as natural as and area rug can, especially as they are rarely treated chemically to make them 'stain-resistant'. This is as close as you can get to those underwater growing green and blue grasses!

Carpet fitters can you help me with a problem please?

Elderly father bought a new house with a bathroom that has a separate shower cubical. The shower has a step (maybe even two) that goes up to it. When he bought the house the previous occupant had had a carpet fitted. For hygiene reasons we ripped it up and ordered some non slip floor covering. Now, after ordering the carpet man who came to fit the lounge has announced that this type of covering can not be fitted onto a step! Now what are we to do? He suggested we paint it but it has old glue all over it and to get it looking good would take a lot work. Any suggestions about this please?

Tile it like the other guy said.
or get some indoor out door carpet and cut to size as a temp fix until you can figure out the best way to have it meet your demand and needs.
I would also send this one to Ask This Old House in the email section. It is an interesting story and they may dispatch one of the TV hosts to your house to correct this.
IT is not a common thing, which is what they do and has so many visual features, makes for good TV watching.
good luck.
