Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Transitional Rug?
Usually, based on the colors and materials used, the style of rugs is easily defined as either being traditional or modern. However, area rugs can be the best of both worlds as they strive to show the qualities of each style.
A transitional rug combines the traditional way of making area rugs with the forward-thinking colors and designs that are common in contemporary rugs. This means when decorating a room that is a blend of many different styles, a transitional area rug can be the perfect choice to make sure that your floor covering does not clash with the decor.

Are Transitional Rugs Made From Recycled Materials?
The diversity of transitional area rugs means they can be made from a wide range of materials. Take, for example, our transitional rugs that are made from acrylic.
This is a material that is loved for being highly recyclable without much loss in condition and durability. Therefore, all our transitional area rugs that are made from such materials have been manufactured in a sustainable way, which is good news for many of our customers who are environmentally conscious and only buy recycled material.
We have many such materials for sale on our page that are either easy to recycle or, in the case of bamboo silk, have been farmed in a highly sustainable way that is good for the environment.
Even more impressive, wool is one of the most eco-friendly and long lasting fibers available on the market. The longer a rug lasts, the less likely it will end up in a landfill. Plus, since it's so easy to clean it uses less chemicles to keep it looking fresh and new. Combine that with the power of Fiber Protector by Mafi and you have a perfect pairing for an eco-friendly lifestyle.
