Does anyone know where I can find a large area rug, mostly black with gold detail? I was looking at oriental rugs, but I'm not particularly fond of any of the ones I've found so far. If it was up to me it would be mostly black with some kind of golden chinese dragon in the corner, or just be asian themed. Any ideas!?! Please!
What size are you looking for? And what's your general price range? Area rugs range in value from cheap machine-made rugs to extremely expensive handmade works of art. If you're serious about having this rug, have some money to spend, and are willing to wait a few months, I would recommend a custom ordered Tibetan carpet. There are several small Tibetan rug productions that make high quality handmade rugs in a variety of styles and colors - they'll even work from a design you give them. Typically these rugs can be had for $50-$100 per square foot, and take 3-6 months to complete. If you're interested, you'll want to work with a reputable oriental rug dealer that can help you find the right production for your needs.
Make one yourself.....easier than you think.
I am not sure whether one such rug may be readily available in the market or not. But you can easily custom order one with any of your local rug store. You can chose the colors, specify the size, and get the design made exactly as per your choice. You may also custom order one directly from rug making countries like India, Iran, Pakistan. This way you will get it way cheaper.
I answered your other question... sounds like you're pretty set on the black gold area rug? Did you check Lowe's? Home Depot? They also have some decent rugs, inexpensive ones. But remember, check them ALL out or as many as you can, cause you never know~ you may be feeling black gold now, but that's pretty taste specific, won't be as easy to change your colors themes. Of course it would depend on the design, too. What if you got an all black rug (not recommended just cause of the lint problem) then incorporated gold accents? Remember too, that your couch is a dark blue... have you seen those rug squares that you can make your own design with? They come in squares, that stick to your floor. You can make your own design, they come in every color imaginable, if you stain one, you can just pull it up replace it! You can find them anywhere, too they have them at Lowes also. Good luck!
