Teach me about rugs.

Thread Starter 
We're looking to get a few rugs and frankly I'm confused as to how it's all supposed to work. We have a large space that is a living room and dining room with no division. We'd like to put a rug where the couch/sitting area is, and one where the dining table is. Are these rugs supposed to match? Are they supposed to be completely different? What's the protocol?

Also, as far as material goes, do rugs absolutely have to be wool, or are composite materials also worthwhile to check out?

Thanks.

The proper terminology these days is Asian-American Rugs.

Make sure the rug matches the drape.

I would recommend looking into hairplugs instead.

I'll defer to an esteemed SF member who doubles as an interior designer, but Moo . . . why not get SOMETHING YOU LIKE??? Odds are that not all of your furniture is from the same maker, style, etc., so who gives a rip if the rugs do?

Besides that, I wouldn't overpay for a rug that will sit underneath your dining table if you have children. That's why they have the Macy's Home Store.
