Contemporary Hand Tufted Rugs

Hand tufted rugs have become a combat zone for a major conflict between the mass and the “class” retail channels. A minimally designed hand tufted rug can be found in the dump carton for less than $100 in mass-market stores. The battle over rugs tufted by hand was expected. No longer are hand-made rugs out of the reach of Middle America, and with tufted rugs people spend less, so they don’t need to use the rugs for their whole lives like their grandparents did. 

To create hand-hooked and hand-tufted area rugs, a craftsman puts yarn into a backing with a hand-held, single-needle tufting instrument or “gun.” Cotton or another backing is fastened, sometimes with latex adhesive, to guard and secure the stitches on the hand-tufted area rug after the tufting is complete. These hand made rugs have a cut pile surface. 

You can get contemporary tufted rugs such as the New Wave, which pays homage to the Old Masters, at RugsUSA.

Add Style To The Floor With A Tufted Rug

Impulse buying and product improvement are the double engines driving sales of area rugs. Consumers are continuing their area rug purchases for a number of reasons. New fibers, washable rugs, and hand tufting, along with other construction and design improvements, also continue to kindle consumer interest in the category. Conventional department stores, specialty chains, home centers, mass merchants, and even gift stores all represent the greater variety of retailers carrying tufted rugs, one of the reasons why area rug sales are on the rise.
