You need a new look on the floor as soon as possible. It’s hard to decide which rug is right for your floor. Here is a list of ways to make your decision.
First, how much are going to invest in your rug? If you like frequent change, then spend less money on a rug. On the other hand, if you want an investment that can become a family heirloom, plan to spend more time and money choosing the right area rug.
Now you need to determine what size you will need. All experts agree that it is important to leave around 18 inches to three feet of empty space between the rug and wall in most of your rooms. This allows for the door to open easily. There is an exception to this rule; if the rug is in the dining room then you need to get measurements of the table and then add four feet to each side. This extra space will allow you to move the chairs around without going off the rug.
Patterns and colors are important as well when you are choosing an area rug. The pattern should already be in the room but if not, choose a solid pattern. If you want to add pizzazz to the room get a rug that has a dominant pattern. The color should be basic; the lighter color will make a room look and feel larger while the dark colors will make the room feel and look smaller. You will need to take some samples from the upholstery or drapery that you already have in the room to help you match the right color to the rug.
Is the rug to be the focal point? Rugs have an enormous impact on a room, so consider carefully when choosing one. A rug that is going to serve as the room’s focal point can bear with a strong central motif, such as a medallion or other bold pattern. If not, then pick a pattern that something that will harmonize with your current setting. Harmony should also be a key point if the room is big enough to handle more than one rug. Furthermore, the rugs should be of different shapes or sizes to give visual interest as well. Don’t forget to use a proper rug liner, or even double-sided carpet tape, to keep the rug from slipping or creeping.
How will the rug be used? Rugs can serve so many purposes in home decor.
* Use an area rug to separate an area. * Use an area rug to offset the color scheme. If you use bold color the tone the color of the area rug down. * Use a small rug to hang on the wall for art decor. * If you are using neutral colors on the walls and upholstery then you need to use a rug with a bold color. * Carefully choose the shape of the rug to blend in with your furniture. Remember that traditionally rectangular rugs will fit anywhere but you can change things up with an oval rug.
It’s important to select the area rug carefully. Allow it to balance the look of your room without forcing a bold color or wacky design.
