You can find affordable oriental rugs such as Persian rugs in a variety of colors to add a dramatic flair to your home.  If you favor a more modern look, contemporary rugs are probably the best choice, with brilliant colors in curvilinear designs or more sedate geometric designs and colors.  Braided or shag rugs enhance the country look, and tradition seekers often favor the center medallion design in muted colors for the most appropriate cheap area rugs.  Decide if you want to reinforce a room?s color scheme by selecting a rug that captures a dominant or accent color, or, if you prefer, a dramatic splash of contrasting colors, which means the sky is the limit.  Every style, size, type, and shape of cheap rugs is available online.
 
Area rugs used to be made only from wool or cotton, but you now have the choice between many different natural and synthetic fibers.  To make your choice among the many cheap area rugs available, note the amount of traffic the rugs will receive, how much money you are willing to spend, and the degree of maintenance needed.  Decide whether or not you will be happier with the cheapest wool rugs you can find, or if other, less expensive fibers will suit.
 
The natural fibers are, for example:
-Wool - the most expensive but durable, soft, and easy to clean
-Cotton - softer than wool but less durable
-Jute - the softest, but will fade in sunlight and disintegrate with moisture
-Sisal - strong, durable, static-free and colorfast, but less soft
-Blends - two or more fibers combined
-The synthetic fibers are, for instance:
-Acrylic - resistant to sunlight, stains, and mildew (good for bathmats and rugs)
-Polypropylene or olefin - inexpensive and the most stain resistant and water repellent
-Nylon - durable, easy to maintain and clean

When shopping for cheap area rugs, it is useful to add these words to your vocabulary:
-Pile is the surface yarn of the rug - deeper is softer and more comfortable
-Stitches or needle count is the number of loops of yarn - higher is denser and longer wearing
-Line count is the number of knots or stitches per square inch - higher indicates better quality
-A medallion is the round or oval design in the center of the rug
-Field is the background inside the border
-Border is the decorative design repeated around the outside of the rug
 
Choose a rug that is 4- by 6-foot or 6- by 9-foot for under coffee tables.  When selecting a rug for the dining room, choose at least an 8-foot wide rug so that all chair legs stay fully on the rug when you are seated at the table.  Measure to be sure.  For a full room, an 8- by 11-foot rug is a good size unless the room is unusually large.  You may use rugs with different patterns within the same room as long as the colors are coordinated, and don't forget the rug pad.  Pads keep a rug from sliding and wrinkling, protects the floor underneath, makes it easier to vacuum, and reduces wear on the rug.
