Reasons to Buy a Vintage Rug

I always used to think that vintage or antique rugs were stuffy. My only experiences with seeing antique rugs were in the context of traditional homes with large, dark wooden furniture and oversized drapes. But I realised that vintage or antique rugs can also look modern and add unparalleled warmth to a room. If that doesn’t convince you, here’s some good Reasons to Buy a Vintage Rug.

Vintage rugs are more sustainable

Anything vintage is more sustainable because it already exists!

Vintage rugs are unique

Although I admire other designers, but I won't want my home to look like anyone else’s. Vintage rugs were often handmade and almost guarantee that no one else will have anything like it.

Vintage rugs are high-quality

As I mentioned before, vintage rugs are often handmade and therefore have better quality than many modern rugs. They have unparalleled ability to withstand wear and tear and even when they do get a bit worn, it just adds “character.”

Vintage rugs are beautiful

Although I previously had the idea of all old rugs being very traditional, vintage rugs are incredibly varied and beautiful. You will be thrilled to find a rug with bright, happy colours that can match with modern aesthetic.

Vintage rugs are timeless

While most of the rugs may become dated in a year or two, vintage rugs have a timeless quality that will span generations. Although vintage rugs may be an investment at first, you won’t have to buy a new rug in a few years because it’ll never go out of style.
