No, they do not need to be the same color or pattern, but you do want them to look good together. For rugs that have different patterns, look for other features that bring them in harmony, such as a similar or matching color. A. Rugs that have heavier patterns are best for rooms with high foot traffic, because with a busier pattern, dirt and wear gets hidden. Solid color rugs work great for almost any room, but they do show dirt more easily.
A. Hand-made rugs typically originate in or near Afghanistan, India, Egypt, Pakistan, Iran (Persia), or China, and those are what are genuinely termed Oriental Rugs. A. Design names often reflect the name of the town or region where that rug design originated, but the names of rugs do not of themselves have anything to do with quality.

Push your fingers into the pile of the rug, The more dense the pile, the more durable the rug will be. A. Pets and children present no obstacle to owning a fine rug. High quality rugs are extremely durable, long lasting, and easy to clean.
A. Act immediately. Carefully blot up spills with clean napkins or towels — preferably white with no inks or dyes. Do not rub –rubbing can cause permanent damage to the fibers in the rug. When cleaning up a spill, make sure you only blot the spot. Every rug is different; if you’re unsure, we recommend you have the rug professionally cleaned by someone with experience specifically in Oriental Rugs.
