| I realize that this may sound ridiculous, but I have an oriental rug for my bedroom that I like better on the underside. The reason being that the colors are more muted and it looks kind of like a needlepoint rug. In all honesty, would it look crazy to use it that way? And has anybody here ever done that ? Thanks. |

| Absolutely. It's a great trick. I also have used the wrong side of fabrics because I liked the colors better. |

| And would you still use a rug pad? |

| Happy to help. Just don't use one of those rug pads that's sticky. |

| Are you sure it's not a flat weave? Those are reversible. |

| No, it is an oriental rug that we have had for a couple of years. |

| You risk stressing and breaking the backing material if this is not a flat weave. |

| Live wire oak said, "You risk stressing and breaking the backing material if this is not a flat weave." I've been doing this with one of my oriental rugs for years with no problem. I use the reverse in summer with light slip covers on the furniture and the regular side during the winter. |
