Consider a Capel rug as an addition to the family heirlooms you can pass down through the years.  When a great-grandparent or grandparent dies what would you be most interested in being given from their home:  their clothes or a piece of furniture?  Most people would choose the furniture because of its heirloom quality.  Like quality furniture, well-made area rugs will appreciate in value over time.  And you can be sure that Capel rugs are well-made area rugs.  Capel Rugs was established in 1917, so they have the history to back their product, and they still create quality rugs today.  Capel is responsible for its own dying, spinning, sewing, braiding, and selling of each rug, which helps to insure the integrity of the product.  Imagine how special it would be to walk upon the same area rug, like the Capel American Legacy Area Rugs collection, that your grandparents spent their years walking upon.   Capel rugs can become a family heirloom that will last for years to come.

Your area rug 5×8 should know it’s place - and stay put!

Without proper underpadding, though, even the most well-meaning area rugs can seem to forget their good behavior and start drifting away. 

Abingdon Rug Outlet offers cushioned, non-slip rug pads. These pads make it easier to vacuum your area rug 5×8. Underpadding is also essential to ensure non-slip surfaces at home and at work.

You can easily and affordably prevent your area rugs from bunching, wrinkling, and shifting. When you select your area rug 5×8 from Abingdon Rug Outlet, remember to ask for underpadding, too.

The creative expressions of pop-art icon Andy Warhol are being resurrected on discount area rugs available at Abingdon Rug Outlet.

Some of the area rugs feature fancy shoes, fabulous fashion handbags, and scattered wooden matchsticks. Others depict crimson sunsets, modern geometric repeating patterns, and more subdued abstract art.  

Warhol, who coined the phrase, “15 minutes of fame”, is best remembered for the red and white Campbell’s soup can advertising logo and accompanying art that first gained notoriety in the 1960s. Images of Marilyn Monroe in reverse-colour quadrants are also synonymous with the late artist’s famous name.

An Andy Warhol discount area rug will have your guests talking about the fascinating story of a murdered artist whose life and work continues to inspire generations of art enthusiasts, advertising professionals, and bohemians worldwide.

The Oriental Weavers Andy Warhol Signature collection of discount area rugs available at Abingdon Rug Outlet will certainly have more than 15 minutes of fame.

There’s no question that the latest trends interior design are influenced by the world of high fashion, and that includes area rug 5X8.

According to style guru Thom Filicia, who designs interiors for pop star/actress/clothing designer Jennifer Lopez, one key to successful decorating is understanding his clients’ lifestyle.

In a recent Lansing State Journal article, Filicia says there’s a connection between what people like to wear and how they decorate.  

“I do think there’s a relationship. Saying you want to match your house to your clothes is too literal but clothes do indicate your point of view, your aesthetic,” he said in the article.

No matter what your fashion aesthetic, or how fast it changes with the times, Abingdon Rug Outlet has an area rug 5X8 to keep you grooving to the beat of your own drum in every room of your home.

Your baby’s nursery can be as hip, funky and stylish as actress Tori Spelling’s  with discount area rugs that not only look fabulously cool, they can also help your baby to learn and develop.

With the help of an interior designer, Tori Spelling recently outfitted her baby’s nursery and added an expensive black and white zebra rug she already owned. If your budget is tighter than a Hollywood celebrity’s, you can easily copy the look at a fraction of the price with discount area rugs from Abington Rug Outlet.

Leading experts in child development agree that babies respond more readily, and are more attracted to black and white patterns than they are to pastel colours. Soft pastels appear dull and “muddy” when seen through an infant’s eyes. 

An exotic-looking zebra stripe area rug - much like the Karastan Exotics one offered at Abingdon Rug Outlet – will capture and hold your baby’s attention while stimulating his or her early visual learning skills.

It’s so easy to achieve Tori Spelling’s ecclectic, modern designer look with discount area rugs from Abingdon Rug Outlet.

• A young boy, Frank Epperson, mixed a batch of a popular drink at the time – a mix of soda water powder and water. He left it on the back porch overnight with the stirring stick still in it. The next morning he woke up to find what we call today the Popsicle, originally sold by Frank as an “Eppsicle.
