The Right Area Rug For You

Area rug is a nice way to decorate a room. Except the decoration purpose, it can also provide protection to your floors. This is why you should first determine on the room where you will use the area rug. This will determine the size of the rug you need. Based on this decision, you will be able to purchase a rug that has the function of protecting the floors, while adding some stylish looks to your bedroom or living room.

Once you decide the size of the rug, you should measure the available space in the room and make sure the rug can fit the space. It would be a good idea to decide whether you want to place the rug under certain furniture, like a bookcase or a bed. The measurement should consider these situations. Otherwise, although the rug itself may fit the space, it may be difficult to put it into the space where you want it to be.

Another thing that are very important about the area rug is the style. There are numerous styles of area rugs, which you can place even in the most sophisticatedly decorated rooms. Therefore, it will be nice if you can match the style of the area rug and the furniture in that room. But, this totally depends on your own style. Some people, like me, may want to have a nice contrast style.

Another feature of the area rug that you should consider carefully is the texture. In order to choose the proper texture, you will need to take into account of the purpose of the room. Let us say, for example, that you will place the rug in the room where you usually receive your guests. In this case, it would be advisable to choose a tougher texture, which can withstand cleaning and extensive usage, and last longer. On the other hand, if you intend to place it in a room that you mainly use for reading or relaxation purposes, then you may want to choose a softer texture. Usually, you should choose a softer texture in your bedroom.

Area rugs come in with a wide variety of colors and tones. Usually, when people choose the color of the area rug, they choose the similar colors to the main color themes of the room. You will be able to find a suitable color and create a nice effect in contrast with the colors of the walls and furniture.

The last but not the least thing is, you must consider the amount of cash that you are willing to spend on the rug. Two quality indicators usually determine the price of the rug. Firstly, if the rug is hand stitched and dyed, then you should expect to pay a higher price. The density of the rug’s knots can also determine the quality, as quality rugs have more knots than less quality ones. Even though a high quality area rug can be quite expensive, its colors, texture and style are worth the price.
