Braided rugs were first made by early American settlers to inexpensively add color and warmth to log homes. Originally made from strips of cotton, braided rugs today include wool braided rugs, chenille braided rugs, as well as braided area rugs made from synthetic fibers such as Derclon. Braided and cotton rugs are now often used in country-style decorating, especially in kitchens, porches and family rooms where an informal look is desired. Cotton and rag rugs easily lend themselves to a casual home. When used as kitchen rugs, they bring a down-home feel to your most popular gathering room.
