Eco-friendly decorating is more than just a passing trend. This healthy pro-environment lifestyle is here to stay. According to some of the top interior d\u00e9cor experts, choosing Oriental rugs<\/a> is the perfect way to highlight your eco-friendly lifestyle and tasteful d\u00e9cor style. Here are some of the reasons why Oriental rugs are considered eco-friendly.<\/p>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

Sustainability<\/h3>\n

Wool<\/a> Oriental rugs are manufactured from natural fibers, and plant-based or vegetable-based dyes, which are environmentally-friendly. Sheep grow a new coat of wool, and the plants and vegetables that the dyes are extracted from will grow new leaves, bear new fruit, and continue to live and thrive. No animals are harmed during the making of a wool rug, and no plants are permanently destroyed in the process.<\/p>\n

Wool is also much more durable than synthetics, so the fibers won\u2019t break down as quickly, and when they do, there are no harmful chemicals released into the air.<\/p>\n

Warmth<\/h3>\n

Wool is an extremely warm and soft fabric. In addition to bringing warmth to your home with their bright colors and vivid patterns, wool Oriental rugs also act as a warm barrier between your feet and the cold flooring. With something so soft and warm under your feet, you won\u2019t feel the need to raise the thermostat by too much, which is a huge eco-friendly measure.<\/p>\n

Giving Back to the Global Community<\/h3>\n

Many Oriental rugs are hand-woven and hand-knotted by women and, sometimes, entire families. These families can make a decent living from their work, and because everything about an Oriental rug being made doesn\u2019t harm people or animals, this is better for the environment and the global economy.<\/p>\n

Sheep will grow new wool, plants will bear fruit and leaves, and the children of these artisans will grow up, get married, have children of their own, and continue the family business of farming the sheep, growing the crops, and making the rugs, just as their ancestors have for generations.<\/p>\n

When you purchase an Oriental rug that has been hand-woven and hand-knotted, you are helping families continue a tradition and sustain an eco-friendly lifestyle that has a positive impact not only on their small communities but on a global scale.<\/p>\n

Heirloom Quality<\/h3>\n

When you buy a hand-woven or hand-knotted wool Oriental rug<\/a>, you are purchasing a piece of d\u00e9cor that may well outlive several generations. Some of the most beautiful Oriental rugs in home d\u00e9cor have been in families for several generations. With proper maintenance and care, Oriental rugs look as good as new for several years, adding value to your home, and to the homes of those you choose to pass it on to.<\/p>\n

This means there is no need to get into an environmentally wasteful cycle of using up resources unnecessarily in the manufacture of flooring that will only last a few years.<\/p>\n

Ecological home d\u00e9cor helps the entire world. The purchase, use, and maintenance of Oriental rugs increase the worth of your home while maintaining an eco-friendly lifestyle. It\u2019s a win-win situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
