New Andy Warhol collection items added to RugSale.com 50,000 item selection

Andy Warhol was known for breaking the rules, harnessing the latest technology to express his ideas, and creating a new movement in Twentieth century art to be studied and imitated for years to come. The factory designs were influenced by the early textures and shading of Warhhol's "Factory" period.

The Factory was the hip hangout for artsy types and the Warhol superstars. It was famed for its groundbreaking parties and artwork. In the studio, Warhol's workers would make silkscreens and lithographs. In 1968, Andy moved the Factory to the sixth floor of the Decker Building, 33 Union Square West, near Max's Kansas City, a club Warhol and his entourage would frequent.

In that tradition, these rugs have deeper and richer colors than most and their style are high-quality and handmade. They would look fantastic in a den, living room or open area that is trying to showcase a more Autumnal style. Because of their handmade manufacturing, they would last longer than most and are often more plush that your standard rug.

There are just some really neat new styles such as the Andy Warhol 14113 Horizon that depicts a sunrise or the Andy Warhol 14114 Twillight that looks more like a sunset  - both would be enthralling near a large open window or in your front entrance.

All of these are fairly new additions to the Andy Warhol collection at RugSale.com - for more fall color ideas please just follow the link here.

Choosing a Perfect Eco Friendly Rug

Rugs are the most important part of the interior décor of your room. They are a great way to add personality and color to any room. There are environmental concerns associated with rugs and their creation, as discussed in the previous post, because of these concerns eco-friendly rugs are now available. Here are some tips for you to keep in mind while choosing a perfect eco-friendly rug for your room.


1.Buy rugs which are made from natural fibers. Resource-intensive products such as petroleum by-products should be avoided. The backing should also be made from natural fibers, and environment friendly adhesives.


2.Check out the chemicals with which the rug has been treated. The chemicals which are used to treat rugs to make them stain resistant and more durable also cause environmental damage. The less chemicals the rug is treated with, the more eco-friendly it is.

3.Look for the recycle logo; choose companies which recycle old rugs to manufacture new ones but keeping chemical treatment in consideration. Rugs which are recycled are also helpful for a clean environment.

4.Never compromise with design and décor of your room. Find an eco-friendly rug which fits your room the best, that’s where Rugsale.com comes in with a vast variety of eco-friendly rugs.
