Overdyed Area Rugs

Vintage Overdyed Area Rugs

Overdyeing area rugs breathes new life into quality floor rugs made from durable natural and manmade fibres. Overdyed wool rugs can be used to give living spaces a splash of colour and interest.

Vintage overdyed area rugs are a fashionable choice for both home and office interiors. The over-dyeing process came into style some years ago and involves supersaturating a large area rug with vibrant coloured dyes to recondition it and extend its life for years to come. The practice initially began with overdyed Turkish rugs and these days, overdyed oriental rugs, Persian rugs and nearly any style of vintage rug can be found online. The durability of rugs made from wool, silk or a combination of both, particularly lend themselves to this style of floor rug.

Intentionally overdyed distressed rugs made from manmade fibres such as polypropylene, acrylics and polyester are a more affordable way to achieve the fashionable look of a large overdyed Persian area rug in your living space. Overdyed area rugs are an excellent way to bring your home's interior up to date while investing in quality soft furnishings. Overdyed rugs in natural fibres can have the dye easily removed if the original design comes back into favour.
