A Guide To Selecting Area Rugs
If you feel there’s an empty space in the room you are designing and you don’t know what to do with it, try adding an area rug. This will make a cozier feel in any room which they are applied to. Sometimes you’ll find more than one which wins you over and it may be difficult to narrow it down to one. If all else fails, purchase both. Believe me you’ll find a spot for the other.
How do you go about choosing the proper size area rug? Well it’s quite simple if you follow these steps. Look at the design and where everything is placed. For instance the tables, sofas, and so on. Where do you want the area rug to be placed? Would you like the floor to show and only want the coffee table placed on the area rug or are you looking to have it cover most of the walking area? Well if you would like it just under the coffee table showing the floor which is under it in other places try choosing an area rug on the smaller side like 3’x5′ or 4’x6′. These are standard sizes and very easy to come by.
Another important factor would have to be the size. Take time to get accurate measurements of the space ‘re considering. You’ll be referring to those numbers later on so that you’ll be sure to bring home the perfect-sized rug.. Standard-sized that measure 3′ x 5′ and 4′ x 6′ are perfect for highlighting the design and color of your furniture. They’d also look great under a table at the foot of a bed or beside a bath tub for the same purposes. Larger sized range from 6′ x 9′ to 9′ x 12’, and are often used to cover large portions of space like in dining rooms and lounging areas. They act as a visual center because of their sheer size in relation to the space.
Installing a large rug with shades like golden brown or deep red will make any bare, cold room much cozier and more homey. Meanwhile, small monochromatic mats highlight furniture pieces well, for the same reason why dark wooden floors are often covered with lighter rugs in mocha or white. But if you want your carpet to be a conversation piece, choose a large one with a bold or daring design. This defines character and depth in even the simplest of rooms.
There are many different rug designs and styles to choose from for your home. Make sure you look around at your current design or what you are looking to make this room into.
That will help you out tremendously with the area rug choice. You also want to make sure that no matter what type of area rug you choose it will meet your needs and expectations which you are searching for.
