Area Rug Brands

Actress Kathy Ireland has a line of area rugs inspired by her world travels, and the rugs aim to be beautiful, durable, and affordable. The machine-made rugs are crafted with acrylic fibers, and come in a wide range of sizes and shapes - including oversized, round, and runners - all at a great value. The rugs are designed to fit in every home and come in seven patterns and multiple colors. The pile finish of the rugs resists stain, wear, and matting, and it feels comfortable underfoot.

Mohawk Select is another reputable brand. Its rugs are some of the best values on the market and its team of designers is working constantly to update the styles and bring customers the latest in rug fashions. Nourison is the world's leading manufacturer of handmade area rugs, and also does business in a new line of machine-made rugs. The company also makes a broad range of rugs: classic handmade Oriental styles, classic Tibetan weaves, and hand-finished powerloom designs are all included in its line.

Capel is one of the oldest names in area rug manufacturing. Founded in 1917, the company does everything itself: spinning, dying, weaving, braiding, sewing, and selling. It also has a reputation for quality. The company makes more than 20 different styles of rugs in more than 200 braids, and has an inventory of more than 600 area rug styles. Couristan is another rug manufacturer with a long history. It's been in the business for 75 years and offers both handmade and powerloomed rugs in both natural and synthetic fibers.
