Rugs heave been used for interior decor and design since the past 3000years!! The Egyptians and ancient Babylonians used rugs to give their environment a cool and colorful touch. From plain rugs to designed and beautiful ones the story tracks back almost 1000 years when the Mughal Kings in Indian Sub-Continent ordered their designers to design rugs with special effects which could make their environment cool and give them a pleasant feeling! It was after 1,000 AD when the art rug weaving started in Europe, most likely in Spain because of its location in relation to Egypt and Persia as well as Iran where rug weaving was a passion for rich Nowabs (landlords). This passion became more strong in Europe when Eleanor of Castile married Edward I of England in 1255AD and she brought along many classySpanish rugs which probably came from Cordoba or Granada.
