Sometimes it is hard to know exactly how to place a rug so that it gains maximum exposure. This is especially true if you have a beautiful Persian carpet from Persian carpet bazaar which you would like to show to advantage. What, then, is the ideal way to position a Persian carpet? Besides showing to advantage, of course, the rug must lay flat on the floor so that no one trips over curled edges.
Balance is attained with a thinner type rug, for example, a large, sisal-type carpet, by placing it about a foot from the wall, revealing approximately five narrow strips of wood. A smaller carpet, perhaps a precious Persian, could be layered over the top to define a more intimate space. A conversation grouping of furniture could be pulled together in this way.
Sometimes carpets, including Persians, curl up at the edges, also creating a tripping hazard. This tendency of area rugs of all kinds can be mitigated by regular cleaning and then by rotating them. This also spreads the wear and tear, so they look beautiful for many years to come.
Of course, fine Persian carpets displaying visible signs of aging with worn areas are hugely appealing. This is evidenced by the enormous sums that many bidders pay for even the smallest fine hand-knotted Persian carpet at auction. A beautiful Persian rug from Persian Carpet Bazaar is an investment forever.
Balance Is the Key To Carpet Placement
How to attain these twin goals is a major issue for rug owners. The first, more aesthetic, question is answered by a return to a classical secret: balance.. The most important element in placing a rug is balancing the carpet with the wood floor beneath and with the rest of the furniture.Balance is attained with a thinner type rug, for example, a large, sisal-type carpet, by placing it about a foot from the wall, revealing approximately five narrow strips of wood.

Safety Comes From Layers
Larger Persians should be placed on a non-slip underpad to prevent their slippage and, possibly, tripping passersby. Historically, in France where Persians were all the rage for years, even centuries, these rugs were laid atop larger wool carpets. In this way, the Persians were held in place, preventing them from becoming “flying carpets” and taking passengers along with them.Sometimes carpets, including Persians, curl up at the edges, also creating a tripping hazard.
