Why You Shouldn’t Sleep On The Vintage Rug Trends
It’s clear that vintage style is everywhere today —from clothing to furniture—and younger generations have acquired a new taste for it, which has given it a new life.
That’s why you need to have a solid assortment of vintage rugs to offer your customers.
But low-quality machine-woven synthetic rugs aren’t the answer.
Consumers want a slightly worn feel that makes the rug unique, and they don’t want to put too much work into maintaining them. Also, because original vintage rugs are so durable and get better with age, people expect them to last.
At S&H Rugs we realize that, and we use 50-80-year-old original Persian rugs that are color-reformed and sheared down. They are then herbal washed multiple times using different teas and white Vinegar, having it sundried to then achieve a distressed and antique look. That means they’re much easier to find and more affordable to the consumer.
If you’re looking to add refurbished vintage rugs to your mix, there are a few things you can do to get started.
First, there are several types of rug designs that fall under the vintage umbrella, so you’ll need to narrow down your options. We have several stunning rugs in all different shades and colors to suit any room.
Look at other rug styles you carry and see if there’s anything that might work with your current assortment — or add a whole new look with a new section devoted to vintage designs.
Also, remember to play up the value. Older original vintage rugs can be hundreds of thousands of dollars, but newer rugs are sold are market prices because they can be more easily produced. This is a major advantage when it comes to consumers searching for affordable and beautiful vintage rugs.
New vintage rugs are abundant today, and we have several unique designs on our website and in our Carlstadt, NJ showroom. For more information, visit shrugs.com
