What to Love About Revival’s Beautiful Vintage Rugs

When Revival reached out and introduced me to their beautiful line of rugs last year, I immediately fell in love with their unique collections, stunning colors and textures, and affordable prices.

Each fabulous Revival rug is one-of-a-kind vintage or is produced in small batches. The attention to detail, product quality, and customer satisfaction is superior. I’m so proud to be partnering with them again this year.

Vintage rugs are Revival’s way to be sustainable. Handwoven rugs made with strong materials can last for decades when they are well cared for. Their selection of high-quality vintage pieces is handpicked across Turkey and Morocco.

Last Year’s Revival Vintage Rug

I chose this 7′ X 10′ Muza rug last spring. It’s a one-of-a-kind vintage Persian rug, hand-knotted in Isparta, Turkey.

This is one of my favorite rugs. The pattern is so beautiful, with repeated medallions and ornamental detailing. Classic and timeless Persian motifs feature intricate patterns and floral designs and are framed by a border.

I usually tend to choose a neutral color palette, so this rug was a lovely surprise. The neutral tones of beige and espresso brown with pops of seafoam green fit beautifully with the rest of my living room decor.

Refreshing This Year’s Spring Space With a Revival Vintage Rug

I wanted to refresh my living room with a rug that would brighten the space while adding spring vibes.

I’ve never decorated my home for spring using shades of pink before, but it’s such a pretty color this time of year. I found the prettiest faux spring blossom tree with pinks at a local store, which inspired my color palette.

After spending time on Revival’s website and looking through all their gorgeous rugs, I chose the 6’5″ x 10′ Fidele rug. This is a one-of-a-kind vintage rug, hand-knotted in Isparta, Turkey.

This was the perfect rug for a spring refresh with its smoky mauve, warm vanilla beige, sandstone, and tan color palette.

It’s All About the Shipping Details

One of my favorite things about Revival Rugs is how my new rug was shipped to my home.

My new vintage rug arrived here beautifully boxed, unlike most rugs rolled up and tightly wrapped with layers of plastic wrap.

The rolled-up rugs I’ve received from other companies in the past often need to be re-rolled in the opposite direction that it was rolled up in so that they will lay flat and the corners don’t curl up.

However, this was not the case with my new Fidele Revival rug. After taking it out of the box and unfolding it in the living room, it lay perfectly on the floor with no creases.

There are No Surprises

Once the rug was on the floor, I knew I had made a perfect choice. My new rug looked just how I wanted it to in the space.

I was so pleased because the photos I saw on the Revival website were very true to how the rug looks in person. The colors were as beautiful as I had hoped for.

What You Need to Know Before Purchasing Your Rug

Measure Your Space

Measuring your space is the best way to choose the right size rug for your room. This will help you determine the correct dimensions for your rug.

Consider any features like a fireplace or alcove that may affect the overall layout. In most cases, you will want the rug to anchor your furniture and provide a cohesive look to your space.

---

Determine Your Color Palette

If you’re unsure where to start with a color scheme, look at your furniture and decor for inspiration. Consider the colors in your space so you can find a rug that complements them.

Look for different shades and patterns you may like.

---

Choose a Style

Now it’s time to determine which rug style will complement the overall aesthetic of your space.

There are many rug styles, including traditional, contemporary, farmhouse, and bohemian. Mixing and matching styles and textures can be fun. A bold patterned rug can add interest to a neutral space, while a monochromatic rug can create a peaceful vibe.

---

Consider Durability and Maintenance

Consider factors like foot traffic, children, and pets when deciding on your rug. Choose a rug that can withstand daily wear and tear.

Certain patterns and textures can help camouflage any dirt accumulating over time.

Regular vacuuming will help to avoid the buildup of dust and debris. Check the rug’s care instructions for tougher stains based on the materials used. Some may require spot cleaning, while others can be washed in a machine.

What Sets Revival Apart From Their Competition?

Revival Rugs was started because they felt “a one-of-a-kind rug shouldn’t cost a month’s rent.” Everywhere they looked for a rug, whether in person or online, there was a general lack of transparency, unreasonable prices, and poor-quality machine-made replicas.

They knew there had to be beautiful and affordable vintage pieces to be had. Not only that, but Revival was determined to figure out how to find them and make them more accessible to the public.

By developing relationships over time, Revival built a network of artisans and partners across Turkey, India, and Morocco who had access to one-of-a-kind vintage rugs handmade with integrity.

Rather than mark the rugs up and sell them to other businesses, Revival sells them directly to the consumer.

My One-of-a-Kind Vintage Rug

A rug from Revival makes the perfect statement piece in the home. I am loving my vintage rug. It makes such a statement in my living room.

I know you’ll love Revival rugs as much as I do.

As you look for rugs to freshen up your living room or another space in your home, let your personal style shine through. Choose the rug of your dreams and enjoy the refreshed ambiance it brings to your home.

Until next time,

Happy Rug Shopping!
