Some people may think it’s risky to use black in home decor, but in small doses, such as woven into Capel Rugs, or used sparingly in accent pieces or artwork, it makes a seductive, sumptuous statement.
The color black symbolizes different characteristics to different people. For some, it’s the color of evil or darkness. For others, it’s a symbol of sleek sophistication. For me, black is purely elegant, simple, and forever trustworthy. It’s also a bit rebellious and avant-garde.
A black border on an otherwise neutral Capel Rug works into almost every decor. Black is the new black, and no matter what color trends come and go, black is always and forever the choice of stylish people with an eye for simplicity, mystery, drama, and magic.
Abingdon Rug Outlet has several Capel Rugs that use black in a clever way - to highlight and accent other colors - and make them seem to pop right off the floor.
Whether you’re consiously aware of it or not, the color of your Capel Rugs will have a distinct, yet short-term effect on your overall mood and sense of well-being. Psychologists involved in the study of color and the human mind have discovered that the impact color has on your mood, lifestyle, and experiences may not last for a long time, but it does make a difference. So, while you may feel a boost of energy in a room with say, green Capel Rugs, the feeling will likely be transient. Green is a great color to use in decorating because it:
symbolizes nature and the natural world
historically, represents health, luck, and tranquility
researchers have discovered that green can improve your reading skills
is symbolic of fertility
Because green is said to be relaxing, guests waiting to appear on TV shows wait in what’s known as “the green room”. It’s also thought to relieve stress and aid in healing the body of sickness. Get this! If you work or live in a green environment, studies show you’ll even experience fewer stomach problems!
So, there’s a few good reasons to choose green as background or accent color in your Capel Rugs. Abingdon Rug Outlet has countless shades of gorgeous green in many shapes and sizes of affordable, authentic Capel Rugs.

Did you know that it is now considered incorrect to say someone is “Oriental”? Much like the many years of history of oriental rugs, the term “Oriental” has been used since the 1300’s to describe someone from Asia. When did the word become so loaded? Even Merriam-Webster’s New World College Dictionary says that when used to describe a person, “Oriental” is “now often regarded as a term of disparagement.”
In an article by Leaya Lee, an NYU student she states that:
Washington State Senator Paull Shin sponsored a bill in 2001 that would remove and prohibit the use of the word “Oriental” in all state and local legislation. The bill, passed in 2002, stated that the word Asian must be used to describe those of Asian descent. In a July 1, 2002, Seattle Times article, Shin, a Korean War orphan, explained that the word “Oriental” was offensive because it was first used to signify everything east of London and later to characterize people with flat noses, small eyes, black hair and mysterious ways.
Interestingly enough, at Abingdon Rug Outlet we are sticking with the term “Oriental” to encompass our beautiful selection of Oriental rugs and many a beautiful Oriental rug you can find offered at a discount price!
People in Seattle enjoy walking in the rain, and taking their shoes off and walking across their beautiful oriental rugs. Many individuals in the Emerald City enjoy their Chinese take-out and the comfort of their oriental rugs. The Asians that populate downtown Seattle enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Puget Sound and Mount Rainier. In fact, the Asian influence upon Seattle goes beyond just an appreciation for oriental rugs, but is evidenced by such influences as Nintendo, which has a stateside facility in Redmond, and Nintendo’s ownership of the Seattle Mariners. When you think of oriental rugs you may not think of the west coast. But somehow it has a way of popping up into most conversations held with natives of the area. Abingdon Rug Outlet, residing on the east coast of the United States, appreciates the culture of the west and especially the Far East influences of such fine oriental rugs upon it.
