Choose Contemporary Rugs That Can Add Charm And Dazzle
Adding an area rug to any design is a great way to give the room a boost of life. Contemporary styled area rugs are the new “it” these days so why not join the crowd?
Bold patterns, colors, and washable materials in the contemporary area rugs are a great way to bring the design into any home without having to fear that it will just be more of a hassle.
Here are a few guidelines to choosing the proper contemporary area rug for your home.
What’s the rug’s use – traffic, focal point, accessory? How big is the room? How will it spark or complement the dcor?
After asking yourself hose questions you’ll learn which area rug will best suite your needs. The patters and colors will also have to come from the design which already exists in the room.
Here are some guidelines for picking the right Contemporary rug for your room.
Living Room:
Smaller room will need a smaller pattern if any or a lighter colored palette.
Likewise, small, busy patterns in a big living room will make the room feel cluttered.
Look for something bolder and simpler.
Brighten a dark room with an area rug in sunny, warm tones.
Bright designs such as abstract will help set the tone for contemporary furniture pieces.
Choose a rug with a clearly defined border to unify a conversation grouping in a large living room.
Dining Room:
Since the rug most likely will be under the dining table, look for rug patterns with the emphasis on the borders, not the center. Why waste a magnificent Persian in a medallion style in a spot where it won’t be seen during the main activity?
Children’s Rooms:
Choose a rug that’s stain resistant or made with polypropylene, an easily cleaned material.
Try to avoid area rugs which are characterized in a specific theme. In the long run it may just be a waste of money. You know how children love to change their minds. Instead try going for a color palette which will go with any theme they choose in the future.
If you have a large enough bedroom try choosing a game area rug for the play area such as a race track and then a basic colored area rug for the other side of the bed by the night stand.
If the area is too small for two rugs at once then go for something which can cover most of the room but then also be a learning tool. Many are sold with the numbers, alphabet, or even color scheme to give your child a learning toy and also decorating their room.
No matter what type of contemporary area rug you choose you’ll be happy in the long run. Whatever fits your style is the way to go!
