Purple Area RugsYou really should include at least a couple of purple area rugs in your decorating plans. If you enjoy the color purple, and like to decorate with that color, that is. Traditionally, the color purple has represented royalty, spirituality, nobility, ceremony, mystery, transformation, wisdom, enlightenment, cruelty, arrogance and mourning. Is it the color for you? Only you can know for sure. (Use of the word purple in the name of the rug means that the dominant color of the rug is purple, but it still includes various designs and other colors. Only the solid colored rug is an exception.)
So, whether you are shopping for purple area rugs for your living room, your bedroom, or your dorm room, it is important to make sure that you include your personal decorating tastes and style. The idea behind the use of a rug is brilliant, as there are many purposes for it. For starters, a purple rug will be an eye-catcher for the room it is in. It draws the eyes to the center of the room and highlights the main color theme. You can then decorate around the room, leaving out the color or colors in the rug. This ties everything together and gives the room a feeling of completion. Purple area rugs can also serve as soft and gentle ways to keep your feet warm. Not everyone likes walking around in slippers or stocking feet, so the addition of purple area rugs in the room will give the warmth and comfort your feet need during cooler or cold nights. Another reason purple rugs may be used is to cover up old carpets, hardwood floors, or floors that would otherwise look distasteful. No matter what your particular reason is for shopping for a purple area rug, it is important that you take a few things into consideration.
The first thing you will want to consider is the size of the rug you will want to get. Of course the larger the rug you want, the more money it is going to cost you in the end. To save money though, you should not choose a purple rug that is too small for the space you are going to place it in, as it will look out of place. Deciding whether you want your entire floor, from wall to wall, covered or just the open space on the space will have to be considered. If you are on a tight budget, then you may want to consider getting a rug that simply covers the bare floor space, and allow your furniture along the walls to cover the rest of the floor. Make sure that you are taking proper measurements of the area you want covered. That way, you will know which purple rug to look for. Make sure that you shop around, too. Keep in mind the style, or the type of fabric or material used to make the rug, will determine whether the rug’s price is high or low. If you want to leap right in and do some pre-shopping for a purple rug, I'm sure you'll find the rug that suits your choice in design, material, color, type of weave, and size at one of the recommended sources below. I can assure you I took great care to select each one. Each ranks high in customer satisfaction, and they have quality rugs in many price ranges, a sure bet they can satisfy their customers' needs.

Hundreds of years ago, the only known source of purple dye was the mucous gland of a snail. To make one gram of purple dye required thousands of snails. This made it a color only royalty and nobles could afford. Today, manufacturers know how to create purple dye just as easily as any other, so although purple is still considered an exotic color, trendy creative persons are attracted to it.
