    If your decor is Victorian or traditional English you will want to look for an area rug that appears to be antique. A faded out Oriental rug will add a touch of old world elegance to a Victorian room. You can choose from authentic antique Persian Oriental rugs, kilims, dhurris or high quality manufactured copies. Aubussons, and hooked Victorian rugs also offer the antique look. Designers say that floral area rug patterns are the best choice to match this dcor style.

    Antique Oriental area rugs and Aubussons are a good choice for other decor styles. Any old world style of design is will be complemented by an Oriental. French country looks are very popular and can be highlighted with an antique area rug as the focal point.

    Some styles work better in homes with a more modern look. This modern design includes a minimal amount of furniture and just a few must have accessories. Geometric shapes are what is seen the most. You can also find an area rug like shag rugs, flat carpet style rugs, sisal rugs, and more. Try using solid colors or patterns that are bright in color so the attention will center to that part of the room.
