Persian Rugs in the Workplace

When you think of buying a really nice antique rug, you definitely think of it for your living room, taking up the hardwood floor proudly. Or maybe for your dining room, if you don't have children, decorating the space beneath your table. Some people even imagine they'll mount an antique rug to the wall of their living room and display it like a priceless work of art.
But there's another option: rugs not for the home at all, but for the office.
If you think about it, you spend nearly as much time in your office as you do at home (especially if you are one of those people that works a steady nine to five job with no home time. Why shouldn't you and your employees (or employers, depending on where you are on the branch) enjoy that personal space as if it were a home?
I was in a kind of small but well constructed place of business the other day, and it had these lovely, arching windows that let the late afternoon sunlight dapple in through the trees and play across the tree-patterned green and silver Persian rugs taht they had lining hte hardwood floor. The carpets really suited the space and made it feel so much homier and more lovely. It immediately put clients at ease, even if they were not consciously aware that their good mood was in part generated by carefully crafted working spaces. It kept all of the employees in good spirits, able to deal with the stresses of the day.
Even just a very simple change such as this one can go a long way. You might want to consider buying a rug for your office, or persuading your boss to do so. Productivity may rise around the office, and happiness and quality of life certainly will.
