Overdyed Rugs?

I've recently become obsessed with overdyed rugs. I haven't used any yet, but I would LOVE to find a way to incorporate one in my home somewhere. Have you used one yet? What do you think about them?

    If I came home and found the other half overdying one of the Orientals fuchsia in a horse trough I think I would pass out cold.

      As in, DIY? When we were kids my mum "over-dyed" a big old rug that was a particularly vile pale green. This involved dropping it into the horses' water trough and topping up with gallons of brown dye, then laying it over the fence and hosing it clean again.

      Some of the dye took, some didn't, and the rug turned an even worse mottled greenish brown - think, battlefield on a rainy day. I think it ended up as a dogs' bed.

      But, these modern ones do look lovely on Houzz! :)

      I don't get overdyed rugs. It seems to me to be a way to recycle an old, faded rug, which would be okay, but they have all the expense of an oriental with none of the beauty. If you want a monochromatic rug with a subtle pattern, why not buy one designed that way?

      I'm not sure how I feel about them, I would consult with my designer http://www.houzz.com/pro/loridennis/lori-dennis

      I think they're a great modern take on an oriental, are a fun way to add color to a neutral room, and fully embrace "reduce, reuse, recycle"

      I like them. I have a Persian rug that is the wrong color for my house that I have been debating dyeing. I'm too scared to do it, so it has been rolled up in my garage for a few years now.

      This is the first time I've seen these and my initial reaction was worry about the dye transferring. Also, I can't help but think that the dying process would in some way compromise the texture and feel of the wool. . .

      I love them too! So fun! But hubby's not buying into them but I'm still gonna make it work somewhere in the house..he says they're too "trendy".

      I love the last one u posted omg so gorgeous!

      I did see a cheaper one in person and wasn't impressed at all. It looked very cheap lol. So I say if you're gonna go for one then make sure it's high quality!

      I have several large old oriental wool rugs with bare areas worn down to the jute. They came with the house (c.1902). I had seen over-dyed rugs and considered getting these ones done. Then I read somewhere that in "the old days" in summer they turned rugs over- wool side down to feel cooler-like sisal, then flipped them back in the winter for warmth. What I discovered was that when I flip these old beauties over, the patterns are intact and the whole rug looks uniform and much less 'busy'. And you can 'sweep' them. (I have even taken them out on the grass in summer and scrubbed the undersides when needed, and they dry the same day). It is worth checking the undersides of old woven rugs as an interesting alternative.
      I can see over-dying a rug where there are no other options for it-(eg. too torn to repair) and do like the idea of the patchwork version-preserving the good bits and overdying these to create a new piece.

      I used blues, yellow and brown tie dyes to dye an old rag rug made from old jeans. I think it turned out great, but it's probably not everyone's cup of tea.

      Real Persian rugs are valuable pieces of art...over dying renders them valueless pieces of garbage.

      a great way to clean a rug if you live in an area where there is snow in the winter: put the rug up-side down onto the snow and beat it with one of those carpet-beaters that look like a tennis-rack. The rug will look like new again and smell great .

      I bought mine three years ago from a place called dhoku and their sister store ethnicon in the grand bazaar in Istanbul. They work with a designer to make nice compositions and at the time they were the only ones doing it. Three years later I am happy to say the prices and the quality, both of which were very good, have not suffered and the rug is as nice as it was when I got it. It survived five puppies and severe lighting, and remains my living room focal point.

      I absolutely love these. I also like the worn and faded ones. I admire the patterns of traditional oriental rugs, but rarely do I like the colours, so these are a perfect combination. I would not consider altering a true Persian rug, though!

      I'm no authority, but I would love a blue one. They look pretty and I love the rich punch of color. :)

      Perhaps on a cheap or worn out rug only. I would never want a beautiful persian rug dipped in a garish dye.

      Overdyed rugs are also more commonly known as vintage carpets. They combine effortlessly with all types of furnitures. I strongly advice using Persian vintage carpets as they have the best quality.
