border rugs

Borders add graphic impact to a simple field, or an extra layer of intricacy to a detailed pattern. Take a beautiful design, then make it even better with a contrasting or complementary border. Borders are one of the oldest rug motifs, framing either a simple or ornate field with a detailed, richly colored band of pattern. Bordered rugs are particularly nice in dining rooms, where they frame the table and you can see all or most of the border, but they work just as well in living rooms, bedrooms and family rooms.
