Area rug durability is generally determined by the material, construction,
and amount of traffic in a space. By carefully considering where the area rug
will be placed and how it will be used, you can anticipate its longevity. The
chart below helps demonstrate the life you can expect from an area rug of various
constructions placed in different spaces.
(bedroom, bathroom, formal areas, etc.)
(dining room, office, etc.)
(hallways, family room, entry, etc.)
that the type
of material used in area rug construction will also affect its longevity (i.e.,
a machine made area rug of tufted wool will last
longer than a man-made hooked area rug in a medium traffic area).
