A braided rug is made from weaving strips of fabric or natural fibers. They can be monochromatic or multi-colored. Some of these rugs display elaborate designs. Experts agree that because of the woven nature of the rug, braided rugs are incomparably sturdy. They can be handed down for generations if properly cared for over time.

All braided rugs have a core, or a center, where they begin. Rings of fabric or fiber tightly hug the core and make it next to impossible to shred or rip. Some kinds of fabric can be somewhat stain-resistant and can handle wear and tear.

Braided rugs are known for their incredible versatility. They can come in all shapes and sizes. They can be made from the finest wool, or they can be made from recycled fabric. Some other materials that may form a braided rug include jute, yarn, and polyester.
