“After visiting oriental rug stores with a big web presence only to be extremely disappointed by their small stores & rug selections it was a pleasure to find Nejad Oriental Rugs in Doylestown, Bucks County, a real importer with multiple warehouses and a truly unbelievable inventory of high quality Persian Rugs. Don’t waste your time elsewhere.”
– Dr. Joseph W. from Philadelphia

The Virtual World of the Internet Advertising Often Leads to Real World Customers’ Disappointment & Wasted Time for Oriental Rug Shoppers
When searching online for a reputable Oriental rug importer it often surprises
customers how a store can look so grand and reputable on the internet but when visited in person they find small stores with little inventory or no store at all.
I liken it to online dating with profiles submitted, you know, often having
nothing (or absolutely nothing) to do with reality. The aim is to lure in as
many unsuspecting prospects as possible and hope a fast-talking sales pitch works in place of the true investment needed for a real rug importer.
How often is this scenario repeated? Probably more often than reported! Even though there is Yelp and Google Plus, the internet doesn’t have the ability to “police” every claim made by every merchant to protect every consumer all the time. The popular nostrum Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware) is as relevant today as ever!
At Nejad Rugs we pride ourselves on being members of the prestigious Oriental Rug Importers Association, an exclusive group of the largest rug importers in the United States. We also make the huge financial commitment of owning our carefully selected inventory of magnificent new and antique rugs in two expansive Pennsylvania warehouses
Creative Interior Design by Nejad – Working with Curved Seating and Round Oriental Rugs
Incorporating curved seating into a room’s decor is a stylish means of creating a unique yet comfortable interior design in a rectangular or rounded space. A beautiful round Oriental rug can be added to continue the curved lines of the furniture, adding both wonderful color and design to a small or large room.
Nejad’s gorgeous fine hand-knotted Silk & Wool all-over Persian Kashan design round Oriental rug looks wonderful in this Bucks County PA luxury home just outside of Philadelphia. The rich burgundy field accented with an ivory border flows perfectly with the light colored curved sofa and burgundy fabric arm chairs. The rug’s traditional design works beautifully with the room’s classic black baby grand piano, marble fireplace surround, entrance wood columns and hardwood floors.
Nejad Rugs has been designing, manufacturing and importing fine handmade Oriental rugs for over thirty years and is a leading source to design professionals across the county.

Designing with Positive Intentions
When I start the process of designing a new rug I begin by taking the time
to bring myself to an open and creative inner state of being with joyful
emotions. Only after I reach the place I want to be, I begin working with
a visual from an actual photograph of a room setting or envisioning one
from my imagination, picturing the space filled with an abundance of
love, happiness and peace. This is my spiritual starting place from
which I begin designing the rug, a physical item, which will one day
be in someone’s home or office. I want the energy I bring to its
creation to be nothing but positive.
In our Doylestown gallery, we try to bring that same philosophy to the
shopping experience. Customers visit our store with the purpose of
purchasing a beautiful oriental rug, at the best possible price,
hoping that it will give their family many years of enjoyment and
pride. I want their time spent with us to be to fun, interesting
and gratifying – whether they purchase a rug or not.
Unfortunately there are times we encounter customers who have first
shopped elsewhere and come to us in an agitated tense and defensive
state. This is almost always because they were exposed to the sales
tactic of aggressively disparaging all competitors with negativity,
misinformation and sometimes outright lies. Regrettably this damaging
sales approach is designed to change the clients thinking into a
distrusting and almost combative state in which everyone loses,
most of all – the customer.
It would be great to have every customer that visits us find the perfect
rug to buy every time, but realistically that doesn’t happen and it is
ok by me. What is more important to me is that I know we have taken
decades of caring and experience to design and accumulate an incredible
inventory of beautiful high quality handmade rugs to offer our customers
and what I want is to try my best to make the time spent with us the
most positive I can whether a sale is made or not.
Life is simply too short to do otherwise.

Color is #1 when Coordinating Oriental Rugs
When coordinating Oriental Rugs, color is the first consideration. This grouping of diverse rug designs and styles including modern, Arts & Crafts and traditional geometric Persian Heriz, works well together because of the same predominent colors of rust, emerald green and ivory.
