Novelty rugs are extremely versatile and can serve numerous purposes in your home. Whether you are decorating your family room, nursery, play room, bedroom, kitchen, basement or patio, there’s a novelty rug that is right for you. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, which is normally best kept rather neutral, novelty rugs can bring colorful patterns, designs and shapes into your room without overwhelming it. Plus, unlike carpeting, novelty rugs can be changed with the seasons – or your mood – and are yours to keep should you move.

If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors in your home, novelty rugs are the perfect compliment. With a little care your wooden floors will last forever. They don’t collect allergens the way carpet does, are easy to clean and provide a perfect background for a beautiful novelty rug. But even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting you can still use novelty rugs. Simply place them in high-traffic areas to protect the carpet or use novelty rugs to express your individuality. You can even put novelty rugs on the walls to create an interesting display!

The Importance of Using a Quality Rug Pad

Experts in the home décor industry all agree that every novelty area rug requires a good-quality rug pad underneath it. Not only does this promote safety in your home by preventing the rug from slipping, it also increases the life of your novelty rug and makes it much easier to regularly vacuum. Never use tape or adhesive to anchor a novelty rug to your floor or carpeting. This can easily damage both the floor and rug. 

The Persian Dream rug pads we sell at Rug Specials - RugDepot come with a 10-year warranty. They are guaranteed not to mar, stain or discolor the floor and to hold your novelty rug securely in place. They come in a variety of sizes and are reversible for use on either bare floors or carpeting. Also, most novelty rugs manufacturers require that their product be placed on top of a quality rug pad in order to validate their warranty against defects in workmanship.

Remember, every novelty rug needs a pad. Click here to see the high-quality, 10-year Persian Dream rug pads available from Rug Specials - RugDepot.

Useful Information About Novelty Rugs

Novelty rugs delight "children" of all ages. They can be used to highlight your hobbies, interests and lifestyles. Novelty rugs can act as a clear reflection of your personality. And the right novelty rug on the floor can help create you own private space. It's also a great way to let people know where you attended school and what your favorite sports activities are.

Unlike many more traditional area rugs, you can find novelty rugs in a variety of shapes. Stars, triangles, footballs and more are available.  In addition, they are a terrific alternative to expensive wallpapers and custom paint techniques. Even with the plain white walls that are often necessary in rented homes and apartments, novelty rug designs can instantly spark up the look of a room. Novelty rugs are good options too for people who change their minds about what their "favorite" thing may be at the moment. Whereas you might think twice about removing themed wallpaper or painting over a custom mural, it's a pretty easy decision to just roll up a novelty area rug and put down a new one as your interests and affiliations change.
