A genuine Oriental rug is handmade (knotted), and the fabric is either piled of flat woven. Oriental rugs are crafted in traditional weaving locations in the Middle or Far East.

Authentic Oriental rugs and carpets mostly come from different countries such as China, Vietnam, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Tibet, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Morocco, and even some areas around Russia. Rugs produced in other places are generally not considered authentic.

Landscape Design and Landscape Architecture

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

Landscape design is in general regarded as a division of a broader field known as landscape architecture. Landscape design also usually focuses on smaller projects, as opposed to landscape planning which typically involves bigger projects or the widest perspective of large-scale landscaping projects that take place over a long period of time.

The way that landscape design is distinguished from landscape architecture is simply that landscape design refers to an actual set of design plans for a particular area where landscaping will be performed.

You can either do your own landscaping or hire a landscaping professional. Learn more about Landscape Design and Landscape Architecture.
