One question that might cross their mind during this process is the best way of integrating&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/oriental-rugs-persian-rugs-difference\/\">Oriental rugs<\/a>&nbsp;into their Christmas decor. After all, as you \u201cDeck the Halls with boughs of holly,\u201d you don\u2019t want your unique centerpiece rug to feel out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few tips to help get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/rugs\/categories\/oriental-rugs\/primary-color\/white\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-83-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-83-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-83-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-83-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-83-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-83.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Working With What You Have<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This option is one to remember if you like to update your decorations regularly. If a new <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/the-difference-between-oriental-and-persian-rugs\/\">Oriental rug<\/a> isn\u2019t in your budget until next Christmas, try buying ornaments and decorations that match your current rug\u2019s colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strategic <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/\" title=\"Rug\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Rug<\/a> Placement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing you\u2019ll need to consider while integrating Oriental rugs into your Christmas decor is your current \u2014 and seasonal \u2014 living room layout. Where is your rug at this moment? Where will you then be placing your tree? Some with smaller homes have to rearrange their living room layout to accommodate their tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will you use a tree skirt (more on this in a moment)? How big of a tree will you set up or purchase? Where will your television go if it needs to be moved?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these surround the idea of moving furniture. When doing so, you should also move your rug to make it functional amid the changes you\u2019re making to your decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Avoiding Tree Skirts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A moment ago, we mentioned your tree skirt. Do you use one? Perhaps you could skip it this year with a couple of these ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, if you have a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/the-4-ways-round-rugs-make-a-room-feel-bigger\/\">round<\/a>&nbsp;Oriental rug of a slightly smaller width, could you place it under your tree this year? Of course, you\u2019ll want to be mindful of the type of tree you have. Metal legs could damage your rug, so consider putting some padding under them. With a fresh-cut tree, we recommend being cautious with your water supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another idea is to move your Oriental rug closer to your tree \u2014 perhaps where your family will sit to open presents. If you use a tree skirt here, it may need to be smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/rugs\/categories\/oriental-rugs\/primary-color\/red-and-burgundies\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-84-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-84-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-84-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-84-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-84-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Rug-Source-Template-84.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Seasonal Accent Rugs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, can a bridge be built between your vision and your budget? What we mean is this: the design of your Oriental rug and the style of holiday decorations you\u2019re putting up may be able to \u201cmeet in the middle\u201d with a secondary accent rug that ties both of these together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How will you be decking the halls this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christmas decorating is an exciting time of year. One final possibility we haven\u2019t discussed today is how you could incorporate an Oriental rug from our inventory into your living room decorative rotation. Perhaps you\u2019re interested in a rug you will only use during Christmas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If so, we can help.
