A sophisticated and smart hue, navy blue got its name from the deep blue shade that was worn by the British Royal Navy and many other naval forces around the world. Indigo dye was the ground for this sapphire-like hue. Modern-day navy makes for a solid foundation for your room, creating a rug that presents itself as a solid hue or confidently present pattern.

How long does a cheap rug last?
Cheap doesn’t always mean bad quality, this is an important distinction to make when choosing your rug. When buying your rug, always remember to take a closer look at the construction method, material composition, backing and care instructions of your rug. Whilst hand-knotted and flatweave rugs are more long-lasting, hand-tufted rugs will shed more over time and tend to be less long-lasting. Wool and polyester are both washable so there are more likely to stand the test of time than more delicate fabrics like silk and cotton.
The location of your rug is another factor to consider, high-traffic areas will naturally wear down a rug faster than more private areas in the home. “Depending upon how often you vacuum, the foot traffic in your home, and the material itself, some inexpensive rugs can last up to 5 years or beyond,” says Elisabeth Lyons Becker, Design Director at MDI Interior Design.
