I'm sure by now the OP has already bought a rug, but I thought I'd add my own experiences. >>I want to buy a rug that's going to wear well and look great for the next 20-30 years at least.>> ANY good rug, whether machine-made or hand-made, will last you that long and more, with minimal care. Most people don't take care of their rugs properly, leading to premature wear. 1) Rug pads matter. Despite what flooring mfgs warn you, the new good quality latex rug pads are just fine with any flooring. I have HW floors, LVT, and sheet vinyl flooring. None have ever been damaged by rug pads (cheap ones, a different story!). I recently pulled up a Karastan Bokhara and rug pad that had lain untouched for 25 yrs and the flooring was fine, no problems. A good rug pad helps extend the life of your rug. That machine-made wool Karastan, btw, is still in flawless shape. I bought it in 1973 and it has always been used in high-traffic areas. 2) Vacuum regularly. Every once in a while, especially in a high-dirt area, lift the rug up and vacuum the backside of it. Dirt is the enemy of floors and rugs, as it grinds like sandpaper under the weight of people's feet. 3) Once in a while, take the rug out to be cleaned. Anything over 3x4 is not a DIY job. Especially if it's a wool rug, unless you enjoy a smell like wet dogs for days on end while it dries, LOL. 4) Fading is an issue with many hand-made rugs. They tend to be made with natural dyes. If you are putting a rug in a high-UV environment, you should consider whether a machine-made, high quality rug might be better suited. There are rug damages than can be fixed, but fading is permanent. We have a wide mix of rugs (actually, more rugs than we have rooms in our house, sadly). Most are hand-made Chinese. We like the patterns and colors more, in general. Most are wool, two are silk. We also have several smaller-sized repros (like the Karastan) of classic Orientals, purchased for specific color/room matching. Some of those repros are wool, but most are synthetics. All very tight, plush weave. All still in original condition, no stains, after 10-20 yrs. Note that I do not expect any viscose (rayon) rugs to last as long. Rayon has a wonderful "hand" similar to silk, but it has very poor abrasion resistance, unlike wool or poly synthetics. That's why it's generally the least costly, when comparing similar sizes/patterns across rug types. Treat your rugs well, and 20 yrs should be no problem at all. A good wool rug, machine- or hand-made, can outlive its owners. That's why so many rugs end up at estate sales.

Another option . . . Craig's List. In my area there are many rugs offered for sale on CL, you just have to be patient to find what you want. I scored a good-looking vintage rug, indigo blue and terra-cotta, for the area leading from my living room to the backyard. The dog is in and out a dozen times a day and the rug hides the dirt. It's not in perfect condition but it's adds some style and class to the space. I paid $180, plus the cost of a pad. Now I'm looking for a smaller rug for my tiny entryway.

This is a pretty room with too much Hobby Lobby decor. You've got vases of sticks in display niches. Reminds me of a hotel lobby. Find something you love and want to look at every day to put there. I chose a couple of ethnic artifacts, but it could be art glass, or antique pieces. Here are a couple of rugs that will work better in your room:

The last rug was found on RugsUSA.com, though it's not proprietary and lots of websites have it. It's part of a collection of similar rugs that are all very inexpensive but have minor variations on a theme of Tribal Rug Pattern. Good Luck. https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/control/search-rugs?color_grp=Oranges https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-medallion/Rust/200KHMC04A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-dynast/Rust/200DISA05A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-olden-tribal-medallion-fringe/Rust/200KHMC07A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-sabine-fringe/Rust/200MBPR04A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rughttps://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-emblematic-tokens/Rust/200STCV14A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-timeworn-charm/Rust/200KHMC34A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-emblematic-tokens/Rust/200STCV14A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-medallion/Rust/200STCV06A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-printed-floral-flatweave/Rust/200MKCL11A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-faded-tribal/Rust/200KHMC32A-P.html
