Round Braided Rugs
Round braided rugs date way back in history to a time when these rugs were not just mere decorative pieces. Round braided rugs were brought to America for the first time with the Pilgrims. These hand made round braided rugs were great for covering the cold wooden floors of early American homes. The Pilgrims used a flat braid in their rugs. This style of braided rug has been around for centuries and was adopted from the Egyptians. It involves taking three or more ropes and then weaving them into a single braid. This was a wonderful way of creating area rugs because with using different ropes to weave your single braid you could use different kinds of materials and colors. So you had endless possibilities as to the color and the feel of the round braided rug that you could make.
Today, just like when the Pilgrims first came to America you are able to purchase a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors of braided area rugs. With such a variety of braided rugs out on the market it is very easy to find a round braided rug no matter is your decorating style is classic, contemporary, country, or even modern. I guarantee that there is an area rug out there for you.
