When you think of a braided rug what do you picture? Moore than likely you see a big country house with wooden furniture, a big old fireplace, breezy country windows, and a huge lot with trees and flowers and all sorts of critters. This association is inevitable because braided rugs and country living are inexorably tied to each other. However, you do not need a country home to enjoy a braided rug.
A great thing about braided rugs is that they are easily adaptable to any living environment. So, while the braided rug is naturally at home in a big country house, it can just as easily find a place in a more modern home. This means that anyone can find a use for a braided rug.
Many urbanites like the look and feel of braided rugs, and country style décor in general, but fear that country décor would be inappropriate in the city. This simply is not true. In fact, country décor can be the perfect distraction from the hassle of urban life. Braided rugs work best on wooden floors. Luckily, many older urban homes still have hardwood flooring. Adding a braided rug to a wooden floor is a fantastic and easy way to add some country flare to a city townhouse.
The simple charm attributed to braided rugs is also an easy way to add a unique touch to any small suburban home. To escape the suburban doldrums, some owners of small homes opt to go for a cabin in the woods feel.
When decorating a home it's important to remember that the style of décor does not necessarily have to adhere directly to the location of the home. While it is important for home décor to compliment its surrounding, home décor can also serve as an escape from ones surroundings. This means that country décor is applicable anywhere, and braided rugs are the first step toward achieving this style.
