Braided rugs suit 50s and 60s style perfectly - I like Capel

I have two of these braided Capel rugs, and I love them. They are very durable, versatile and affordable — and fit my 1951 colonial ranch home’s decor just fine. Remember, while we may associate modernist ranch houses with the 1940s 50s and 60s, in reality postwar homes were a mix and match…inside and out…of ranch, Cape and colonial styles. These rugs really warm up a room. They come in all wool, which is really nice, chenille styles that last forever, and fiber mixes that may be better for your basement. I have two and at different points have had them in the dining room, living room, bedrooms, the basement — they really are extremely versatile. And, there are zillions of style/color choices at Capel’s website.
