Rug Retailer Launches a Blog

Posted on March 15, 2007

We thought you would want to know that a retailer of rugs called Rugs Done Right has launched a blog. The rug blog combines rug care tips with decorating and purchasing advice. A press release can be found here for the blog which is focused on area rugs.

The Rugs Done Right Blog focuses on area rugs, highlighting new styles and trends, care and cleaning tips, purchasing advice and decorating ideas. Blog posts are written by Jamie Carney, an area rug proprietor and the BuyRugsDirect.com site owner. The move to RugsDoneRight.com offers Carney the opportunity to provide additional services to her Buy Rugs Direct customers, and the blog is the first of these new features.
Blog topics vary, but the central theme is always area rugs. Posts are short and succinct, quickly making a point or offering advice before directing readers to a link with more information. Recent posts have discussed: what to look for when choosing an area rug for your home; the proper care and cleaning of rugs; the pros and cons of different materials; and how to install and protect area rugs throughout your home.

They have gone a little tag crazy on the blog with several dozen tags per post. Despite the overuse of tags the blog definitely makes the rug retail website more interesting. For example, this post shows how not using a proper rug pad under an area rug allowed the hardwood floor underneath it to sustain damage. Over $6000 in damage was done to the hardwood floor. The post includes a picture of the damage and it isn't pretty.
