There was a time when lumberjacks would let log booms float downriver. Some of those logs would end up on the river bottom. Companies are now harvesting and drying that wood, which has a tendency to be strong from all those years of absorbing minerals from the water. What better way to compliment and add comfort to a wood floor then to top it off with an equally exquisite natural fiber area rug. One source for the materials of these fine rugs is the agave plant. It's knife-shaped leaves hold a fiber called sisal. Sisal is versatile and hardwearing and at Natural Area Rugs, sisal area rugs continue to be in demand. Another versatile and longwearing material used for natural area rugs is wool. Wool gets a green light as one of the most eco-friendly resources available. A natural wool area rug goes to work keeping airborne contaminants trapped deep in its fibers and will continue to purify the air for many years.

This brings consumers and designers into the next generation of interior floor design with their website's new dynamic image display. Powered by zoomify.com, this new digital tool allows consumers to closely inspect intricate designs and patterns on natural fiber rugs such as sisal, seagrass, and wool that were previously difficult to discern.

About Natural Area Rugs (PRWEB) - BEVERLY HILLS, California (PRWEB) October 16, 2006 –- The area rug market posted one of the highest gains in 2005 as it overcame rising raw material prices and pressure from international trade. This sector’s growth is quite remarkable, which manufacturers have been able to sustain over the last five years despite competition brought about by imported goods. Analysts are least surprised as they predict the need for area rugs to further increase in the next few years, along with the growing market for hard surfaces such as wood and stone. Over the last decade, it has been observed that the demand for hard surfaces seems almost inseparable from area rugs. Homeowners who install hard surfaces often find their floors cold and bare, hence the need for area rugs that add beauty and warmth to their home. Natural fibers have been very popular lately as they perfectly complement just about any type furniture design or room motif. While the rug industry’s projections for the coming years remain positive, challenges have also been constant in recent years. With the price of raw materials continuously rising, all floor covering materials have consequently followed suit. Such events have made an impact on just about every commodity in the market. While consumers are expected to be aware of such developments, manufacturers still emphasize the importance of re-informing the general public, whom they expect to be more sympathetic to such trends if properly educated. The effects of these price increments become more pronounced when analyzing sales based on product category. Growth in high end floor covering products has just remained steady as fluctuations seem to hardly affect the purchasing power of the upper class market. Lower end goods have experienced the largest growth as both the upper middle and middle class consumers have begun purchasing less expensive and more economical products. Such developments seem to favor natural fiber rugs which greatly appeal to the general public because of their quality and affordability. Natural materials such as sisal, seagrass and bamboo offer the sophisticated and expensive look of hi-end rugs, yet fit in to just about any budget. Today’s health conscious public also begins to appreciate the benefits of environmentally friendly and hypo-allergenic natural fibers. 2005 has also changed the landscape for the import market. China and India have remained as giants in the playing field but now seem to focus on specific product categories. With China’s improving economy, labor cost has also significantly increased. While the country remains to be a force to be reckoned with in the rug industry, Chinese imports now focus more on tufted and machine made rugs rather than hand-knotted rugs which remain India’s bread and butter. The internet has also contributed immensely in increasing the sales of area rugs. Just about any size, weave or color can be viewed and easily purchased online. The convenience of online marketing has offered a practical option for people working in busy and hectic environments. Just like other industries, the rug sector has faced numerous challenges from both an economic and social standpoint. However, rug manufacturers have proven to be resilient amidst all these challenges. Adaptability seems to be the key which has enabled them to survive all the economic pressures that have come their way.
(PRWEB) - BEVERLY HILLS, California (PRWEB) September 20, 2006 –-Like most industries in the country, the rug business has not been spared from the effects of inflation, erratic petroleum prices and increasing dependence on Chinese importation. Amidst all these challenges, however, suppliers of flooring materials have remained resilient. Recent market trends indicate that area rugs, including sisal and seagrass rugs, remain a product category with high market share potential. Rug manufacturers support this observation, claiming that nearly every household in America owns at least one area rug. They have observed that even homeowners who opt to install hardwood or tile will all eventually purchase area rugs for their floors. Sales in seagrass, wool, sisal and bamboo area rugs have continued to grow.
The growing popularity of hard surface flooring seems to move hand in hand with the increasing need for alternative floor covering like natural fiber area rugs and runners. The growing demand for natural fiber rugs has been quite noticeable. The innate beauty of materials such as sisal and seagrass has proven to be very appealing to customers in recent years. Contracting the services of a designer or a consultant at a retail specialty store, consumers choose just the right sizes, colors, styles, and binding to coordinate with their specific decors. Materials used in furniture, curtain, or drapes can even be used as binding for area rugs.
Natural Area Rugs offers a wide array of natural fiber rugs ranging from sisal, seagrass and mountaingrass, to wool, bamboo and jute and caters to just about every sector of the market. Despite increasing pressure from the competition, they distinguish themselves with quality craftsmanship and by providing products tailored specifically to the needs of their clients.
Market players indicate that retail businesses in the rug industry, especially those in Natural Fiber Floor Coverings, can remain strong if dealers commit to the category. Over the last quarter alone, Natural Area Rugs diversified their product line by offering indoor/outdoor bamboo area rugs and self-edge finish sisal rugs. With the recent surge in sales, Natural Area Rugs predicts exceeding the objectives they set last year.

NaturalAreaRugs.com operates all transactions through Yahoo’s secure checkout system, and have been building internet trust for many years. This recent buyer’s experience is one of the many success stories skeptical buyers are experiencing while shopping at NaturalAreaRugs.com: The Internet site was very well designed with the wealth of information and the ease of use. This company impressed me from the moment I placed my order. At that point I hadnt seen the weave of the rugs anywhere in the stores, and I was nervous to buy from internet company, so I expressed my concerns in the comments field. One day later (on a weekend!!!) I received a call from Tigi??- sorry, I am not sure about spelling. She offered to send rug samples to me and , meantime ,to place the shipment on hold, until I am sure, that I like the rug samples. Though I live on the East Coast, samples were in my mailbox 3 days later, attached was a discount coupon. My credit card already was charged the full amount of purchase, but the company still credited me with the discount, when I called to confirm the order. The package arrived exactly, when the e- mail indicated it would. The rugs ( I bought 2) were packed perfectly well for the long trip from California to the East Coast, they were perfect, additional information was attached as to how to care for rugs, very thoughtful! Overall, it is one of the best experiences I had buying from Internet. People were personable, they care about their business and their customers. I will buy from this company again very soon ( I received another coupon with my shipment!)Thank you to all at the Natural Area Rugs for your good works. -Lyudmila Huggins Most consumers are afraid to order with online companies for some very important reasons. Most online stores drop-ship items through third-party vendors, and if the shipment is late or the item arrives in poor condition, the customer is stuck with a bad product. In order to bypass this unnecessary annoyance, NaturalAreaRugs.com is the direct importer and manufacturer of all their products and directly ships them from their warehouse in Los Angeles. Most customers prefer to pay two to three times more at department stores for rugs and carpets because if there are any problems, they can return the item directly. Most online carpet dealers guarantee customer satisfaction 100 or even 120 percent, but when it comes to actually returning an item, the process can be frustrating. The buyer must request a Return Authorization number—which might never come, and if it does, restocking fees are applied so he/she never receives full credit. Every day, more and more techniques for internet shopping standardization are being developed to provide shoppers with seamless experiences with genuine companies. NaturalAreaRugs.com is a leader not only in the flooring industry, but also in e-commerce integrity. Most online stores will not display customer feedback because these stores have had many negative transactions which will lead the customer not to buy at that particular store. NaturalAreaRugs.com encourages customers to read the feedback posted on every page. You can shop at NaturalAreaRugs.com to find high quality sisal rugs, seagrass rugs, mountain grass rugs, bamboo rugs, jute rugs, bamboo shades and other great products by visiting their website, www.NaturalAreaRugs.com.
