Jeff Banks Rugs

Rugs come in all shapes and sizes to suit every room décor imaginable. But what if you have a very stylish designer room? Then you need a designer rug. The designer Jeff Banks has very large impressive collection of designer rugs. With a Jeff Banks rug you can choose from Indian Wool, Shaggy and Modern Chinese ranges with a huge variety of colours, styles and sizes.

For many centuries the only high quality rugs that were available were made by hand out of wool and silk yarns. Since the industrial revolution these production methods have evolved. Now manufacturers’ are using advanced tufting guns that quickly inject the yarn into the backing material for you.

Once a design has been chosen, this design is carefully transferred onto the backing. The yarn colours are then tufted with handheld tufting guns with large spools of coloured thread. Then there is the shearing process that shears the face loops to create a smooth finish. With some designs you have the blend of cut and loop piles creating a very attractive contrast and texture.

For designer rugs there is a second phase of this fabrication process called 'sculpture' or carving. This is a process of shearing and bevelling the design details. If done properly this can elevate the rug-making process to the elite status preferred by decorators and designers.

Handcrafted Jeff Banks designer rugs obviously are a bit more expensive. So if you are planning on buying a designer rug you should only do so after extensive planning and budgeting. The modern designer's rugs come in two categories of materials - the natural fibres and the artificial chemically treated synthetic fibres. The rugs crafted out of synthetic fibres are inexpensive but not so safe for children. So avoid these rugs at all costs, and if your budget allows buy yourself a designer rug made from natural material such as wool or cotton.

The best designer rugs in my opinion are made from wool. Wool is a very popular material for making rugs because it is a 100% natural fibre that does not absorb soil very well making them very easy to keep clean. Also designer wool rugs are said to be resistant to fire and static electricity and they actually absorb water in the air relieving humidity but still feel soft and dry to touch. Finally designer wool rugs are very durable and can last in beautiful condition for many years.

As Jeff Banks has said in the past; a beautiful rug is the essential finishing touch for any room and is often regarded as a bit of a style statement. Jeff Banks rugs come in a selection of colours and textures from classical hand carved abstract styles to very funky bright stripes in a palette of rainbow colours that will brighten up the dullest of rooms.

The beauty of a hand crafted designer rug is that they have the standout ability to complement today’s modern trend of interior decoration. Finding beautiful designer rugs has never been easier with the Internet. There are many online shops allowing you to view the many different designs and textures in the comfort of your own home.
