Sunlight Damage - suggestions from the experts

 Almost every carpet will lighten in color or fade over a period of time. The extent of the damage depends on: the location, exposure, color, intensity, and type of dye, and method of dyeing. A rug that has been solution-dyed (or producer-colored) is least susceptible to sunfading. The pigments are added to the polymer before the fibers are formed, locking in the color. Most polypropylene (olefin), many acrylics, and some polyester and nylon rugs are dyed using this method.

Lighter shades will usually fade more quickly than darker shades because they contain less dye. Most dyes are composed of two or more colors. If one color is affected more than the others, the fading may appear as a color change rather than a lightening of the color. For example, a green carpet yarn is made from blue and yellow dyes. If the yellow dye is affected and the blue is not, the green rug may be turning more blue. In other  instances the colors may fade uniformly, appearing as a lighter shade of the original color. In severe cases the color may be completely removed and can appear to be "bleached" white. The fiber itself can also deteriorate.

You may able to prevent carpet from fading in sunny locations by keeping the windows covered with draperies or by treating the windows with a UV cover (tint) to filter the ultra violet rays. If you live in an area where sunlight fading is a problem, shop carefully for your next rug.

Very often, this problem can be solved by moving your rugs around the house every six months or so. If you want the rug to stay put, just turn it around so the area that is exposed to sunlight is moved and levelled out. It's always good practive to move your rugs around the house if you can so that they get a change of placement, wear and UV exposure - tactics such as these could extend the life of your rugs by years.

RugSale.com - A guest of NECN's "Dream Home"

We were grateful to be invited to meet the gracious host of New England Cable Network's "Dream House", Jenny Johnson on her show and talk about some points about buying rugs online with RugSale.com.

Jenny Johnson is a neat and friendly person who is excited about anything that has to do with design, food and fun, she was very interested in learning more about our site and how much easier it is to purchase rugs online these days than in the traditional department store.

We talked about contemporary rugs mostly, even showed her a few Oriental Weavers samples on camera. We mentioned points such as size, color and selection and why you want to have a good, strong brand for your home like Momeni, Capel or Oriental Weavers - so that it will last and you get your money's worth.

An Oktoberfest of Color - all over your floor...

Now is your favorite time of year, isn't it? You love the warm apple cider, the pumpkins on the fence, the leaves changing and the crispness in the air.... Autumn is ideal for color.

Why is that? Why do we celebrate (some of us anyway) when the air begins to chill and the leaves start to fall - after all, it doesn't happen everywhere (does it LA, didn't think so), and there are plenty of people out there who really dislike having to put on long pants again.

Color seems to be the answer - it's not just about the temperatures or the flavors - it's the change of color. It's an opporunity to make your home lively, in season and fresh. You get to change all that green and bright yellow to royal golds, reds, oranges and navy - come one, even if you live on Hawaii, it's still fun to change the house around every once in a while.

Colors reflect our mood - whether we are contemporary or traditional, kids or adults, mild or strong - a world without color is a dull place. Here are some great suggestions for usage of color:

1.) Red - use it for accents, backgrounds and canvasses - some red(s) can make other colors pop and give them a regal sense of design

2.) Yellow/Gold - this is an accent color, place it on brown, black or red and should make the affect of the sun shining

3.) Orange - depends on your usage. Orange could either be accent or canvas. Don't go too wild with orange, moderation is key.

4.) Black - just like orange, just much and your place is dark, too little and there is no contrast. Use it as you feel you need, but remember that black is a strong color to use anywhere

5.) Green- kelly green, hunter green or deep green. All these versions are regal and sincere. Lighter version should wait for the spring.

Use these thoughts when placing down your rugs and designing you latest room(s) - colors can make or break your design. When looking for rugs, especially during this season, remember that there is less light coming into your house/apartment, that the seasons look better with deeper colors and your floor makes your design.

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.

Modern Rugs are geting very popular in today's homes

Modern lifestyles are casual and simple but by no means boring. New homes are sleek, renovations are modern, traditional homes less cluttered. Rising taste is for more open space. Against these cleaner backdrops rugs in contrast can be bold, spirited, colorful, graphic, playful, eccentric or comforting and warm. Rugs define space, add personality and mood. Whether they be bright, uplifting or setting a calm and safe mood, rugs are a grounding factor in any room. Layer rugs over carpet for a quick update or select mix and match patterns to define various spaces within one’s home or office. Themes co-mingle and, more than ever, are a reflection of unique style and personal taste. Geo patterns, updated damasks, texture and tracery all have a place in today’s design. Clean unfettered homes allow the objects within the homes to sparkle and to be noticed and appreciated. Design is eclectic and in many ways more interesting than ever before.

Capel Rugs are just one of the brands that you can expect to see some really cool designs and styles out this fall. Their modern styles with solid prints are attractive and go with nearly any style in your home. Some of the more eclectic styles, such as animal prints or geometric rugs, are quite capable in your home as well. We suggest that the more simple the design on the floor, the stronger you can make your walls and accents - we recommend the opposite if your rug style has a stronger character to it.

Safavieh rugs are another great brand you can shop that deliver fantastic modern styles and full value. Safavieh's modern rugs contain more solid colors, distinct patterns and creative art. They are perfect for New York Studio studio apartments looking for that new trend or for your designer gallery for a fantastic first impression. Their quality materials and strong manufacturing background ensure that you will be buying one of the best rug brands around for modern rugs. Their best modern rug collections are Rodeo Drive and Soho.

Whichever modern rug you decide, be sure it's the right one. Modern rugs are not like Traditional rugs in that their styles change quickly and unexpectedly, Traditional Rugs are often safer in that their patterns and looks and colors do not change often and even when they do, they are still considered in "vogue".
