St. Louis prides itself in exquisite arts and architecture, so it is not surprising that homeowners go to great lengths to improve their home's styles. Many do it by using highly decorative St. Louis area rugs. Rugs have always been a popular way of dressing up any room -- a decorating practice that started all the way back to the ancient civilizations, as Jessica Mousseau writes in an article for Yahoo Contributor Network. It is believed that nomadic Eurasian, Mongolian, and Siberian tribes first engaged in rug-making thousands of years ago. Realizing that their sheep could provide a valuable material for rug-making, the nomads experimented with thick, warm wool, which replaced animal skin coverings. Because of the nomads' mobility, the art of rug-making was exposed to other people, and in this way the craft passed to other cultures. It is widely agreed that rug-making found its highest and most elaborate, skilled expression in Asian and Islamic cultures.
