Area Rugs Add Warmth and Beauty
Biltmore House visitors can't help noticing the beautiful area rugs spanning the wood floors and adding to the rooms' elegance and grandeur. The rugs on display are just part of a collection of 163 rugs that Mr. Vanderbilt, a genuine collector with an eye for quality and style, purchased from various sources around the world.
Area rugs can be a valuable addition to your home décor as well. From an aesthetic standpoint, they help define the space within a room or serve as a dramatic focal point. They also help support the room's style and color scheme.
More than just a good looking accessory, area rugs have great practical value as well, blocking the chill that cooler climates create on hardwood, tile, and stone floors and helping to create comfortable spaces for lounging barefoot, sitting, and playing. They also reduce noise and echo, making your interior space more intimate and inviting.
For elegant patterns, rich color schemes, and fine machining, consider a rug from the Biltmore For Your Home Biltmore Classics Collection, which are faithful reproductions of Mr. Vanderbilt's antique rugs. Composed of 100% wool, these hand knotted gems will become instant keepsakes.
