Rugs For A Swedish Home – Swedish Furniture

Braided Rug 80″ Round Off-White $109

The careful selection of your homes rugs can really bring alive that Swedish look you are after. Last month, I found myself spending hours trying to select a rug that would work perfectly for our outside covered patio. After browsing endless patterned rugs, I found myself drawn to plain, simple braided rugs.

Living in Seattle for a short period of time, I left several large sisal rugs outside under a lofted outdoor barn, only to find later they were molded, so much so, that I had to pour bleach to remove the dark black spots that were left on the rug. So after that experience, I didn’t want to chance getting the wrong rug for my outdoor patio.

Super Area Rugs on Ebay, had a large selection of rugs that work for indoors and outdoors. The intricate braided detail was enough pattern, and also gave my space that simple look I was after. These rugs can work for the indoors, as well as the outdoors. I ordered an Oval version of the “Reversible Braided Rug in Blue Ice Color” When they arrived at my door, they were rather light, made of a synthetic material, which enables them to be washed and used outside throughout the winter.

In this post Swedish Decorating MUST Haves – Natural-Fiber Rugs I show pictures of jute rugs, sisal rugs, and hemp, all great choices when selecting a rug for a Swedish home. If you want something different, consider a braided rug. I have found they come in very pretty light colors such as blue, ice blue, and white, amongst so many other colors.
