1. Look for obvious signs of distress. Used rugs that have been in high-traffic areas can show signs of fading and thinning. When on the hunt, it’s a good idea to take some time to look for any stains or other issues. And if you're buying a used rug online, you can always ask to see photos to determine the quality!
2. Don’t be afraid of a little wear and tear. It’s not always a bad thing if the rug has been used a little, after all you are searching for a used rug. Used oriental rugs are often coveted for their age, and many consumers find them more elegant when they’re worn down.
3. Look for high-quality fibers. The best, higher-quality rugs are always made of natural fibers. Natural fibers consist of wool, silk, and cotton. They are far stronger and durable, making them the best choice for longevity.
4. Figure out your budget. Not only should you figure out the dimensions of the rug you want before shopping, you should also factor in your pricing guide. For instance, if you’re buying a rug for your living room, you should keep in mind that the rug will be larger so it will cost more money. Set your price point and add 10% to give yourself a little flexibility.
