Meet and Greet Weekend at Brandon Oriental Rugs for Fine Handmade Rugs Seeking Good Homes in Bucks County and the Surrounding Region

In the midst of all the "Home Improvement Season" excitement, a very special event is being held this weekend (February 26 thru 28) at Brandon Oriental Rugs (www.BrandonRugs.com) in Bucks County, PA (just minutes from Doylestown, Lahaska, New Hope, Newtown and other Central Bucks communities.) 

With all of the great new products for the home out there (and the many important jobs you need to get done to make your home the way you want it to be) there is an amazing class of home goods - real hand-knotted oriental rugs - that has been sadly overlooked in recent years. 


The result is that many wonderful rugs are looking for homes; homes they were made for; homes they could make more beautiful; homes to which they are willing and able to give everything they have for a lifetime to make the homeowners proud and happy.


In the hope that many of these wonders of creation can find a place in your heart and your home, you are invited to come meet them and get to know them this weekend at Brandon. See if there's a special one here for you; one that makes a connection with you. 


If you think a lasting bond could form, you are welcome to take any rug home (or Brandon will deliver it for you FREE) to try it for a few days. See if your home and a beautiful handmade rug (that is looking for a home like yours), belong together.


This is a casual event, and no pressure of any kind will be exerted. But maybe just maybe there's a fine oriental rug here that has been waiting since its creation to have a chance to make someone like you very happy for a very long time. 

Many wonderful rugs are waiting and hoping to find people and homes that they can make happy. If you have a heart for fine handmade rugs, there are rugs looking forward to being at the heart of your home.

The Kitchen Rug: Real Oriental Rugs Are a Surprisingly Practical Solution to the Need [Photos]

There are a lot of reasons for choosing to use oriental rugs in your kitchen, and you'll find you will appreciate all of them:
  • Unlike plain mats they don't show dirt, and are actually resistant to dirt 
  • They're extremely durable; made for the long haul. (If you are using your kitchen to feed an army every day, your rugs might not last a lifetime, but will endure the day-to-day traffic for years longer than other kitchen mats.) 
  • Oriental rugs that are old and worn can still look fabulous; and add a natural, organic warmth to balance the sometimes industrial, too utilitarian character of modern kitchens.

As you look at these pictures, consider how much each rug is doing to enhance its space.

An oriental rug in the kitchen workspace is tough
enough for the job it has to do; and makes
the choice to use it look absolutely brilliant.

A somewhat rare hand-knotted 9x9 round rug was chosen by our customers in New Hope, PA (Bucks County) for under their kitchen table to assure that the chair legs would all remain on the rug when guests were seated.

A small galley kitchen gets the big treatment (and looks so much bigger for it) by placing a lovely camel hair, hand-knotted Persian Hamadan oriental runner on the floor.

The use of the hand-knotted oriental rug makes this work area of the kitchen much more comfortable underfoot. (Certainly better than bare floors, and more
attractive than mere kitchen floor-mats.)

The juxtaposition of the modern, industrial strength
kitchen decor with the rustic, naive assymmetries
of the handmade runner puts a lot of energy in this room.
And that looks like the right prescription.

A well-worn, old hand-knotted oriental rug (likely used by a previous owner in some other home ) has been pressed into another tour of duty in this newly
installed kitchen; and is up to the task.

Absent the modern appliances, this room might have looked like this for over a hundred years. The antique, hand-knotted oriental rug could truly have been on
duty here from the very beginning. On and on
it goes, absorbing the imprint of years of domestic
life; a quiet support for all those years.

We've helped customers achieve this look with properly sized oriental rugs in the workspaces of their kitchens
many times. It always looks, and works, great.

Solebury, PA Homeowners Complete Upstairs Hallway of Two Hundred Year Old Farmhouse with New Oriental Rugs from Bucks County, PA Rug Store Brandon Oriental Rugs -- www.BrandonRugs.com

Our customers in New Hope, PA (Solebury Township), who are renovating a two hundred year old farmhouse selected a bedroom rug from Brandon Oriental Rugs (see: http://bit.ly/17eP1dM ) and wanted to complete the hallway outside of the room with rugs appropriate for the character and age of the home.

After considering many possible rug styles through the use of Brandon's Rug-Search(tm) service, they settled on a pair of Kazak reproduction rugs. The runner is a Pak-Kazak; and the 4x6 rug is an India Kazak reproduction.


The Kazak style is extremely popular with designers and homeowners who have rustic style homes that welcome the boldly colored geometric character of this rug class.

Exact Oriental Rug Solutions For Your Unique Tastes and the Unique Needs of Your Home Are Found at Brandon Oriental Rugs - www.BrandonRugs.com - serving all within a wide radius of Bucks County, PA

Doesn't your home, the place you have imprinted with your unique tastes and vision, deserve something better than "off the rack" rugs to cover the floors?



Do you want rugs for display in the showcase of your home that were found deserving of no better display than being rolled up on warehouse shelves?


Should row after row of sample rug-concepts be seen as offering an answer to your rug needs? (Think about it: nobody seems to have had the faith to make them into actual rugs -- although they'll happily offer to make you one if you give them a big down-payment and are willing to wait half a year for delivery.) 


Does clicking through thousands of confusing rug images with intangible descriptions really offer value in your rug search considering you've built your home at every other stage using the help and skill of experts with whom you've been able to discuss and share your vision?




Given what you've realized above, doesn't it make sense to use the help, answers, and service offered by Brandon Oriental Rugs when you go shopping for fine quality handmade area rugs?

We find the fine handmade rugs our customers are hoping to find for their homes and professional offices: sometimes it is just one rug that can be found nowhere else; sometimes it is a roomful of rugs to consider because of the value each one might offer in satisfying specific requirements of a search.


Send us pictures of what you are doing and would like to accomplish using rugs in your home; or bring pictures of your rooms to our store; or invite us to visit your home so we can discuss and show the options and benefits available to you using real handmade rugs.   


Brandon Oriental Rugs is more than just a rug store, we are a service. We make it easier to find and acquire the rugs you want. We save you time, effort, and cost in your rug search.
