Area Rugs: An Inexpensive Way to Refresh Your Home


Perhaps you’ve recently moved or have decided to refresh a room in your home, thinking some new area rugs just might do the trick. They certainly are inexpensive and simple way to create a whole new look in your space and rather quickly without any installation needed.

Decorating with area rugs helps keep the home looking modern, up to date, beautiful and fresh. Rugs add style and design to a room, can make strong statement and provide a feeling of comfort over tiles, stone or concrete. They can even keep the hardwood floors and carpets safe. You can decorate a room with rugs according to the seasons and they are easy to move around if you ever decide to switch to a new home.

When you decide to decorate your house with rugs keep the following points in mind:


1. Color. If you decide to decorate a room that has mainly eye catching colors that are vibrant you should choose a rug that is neutral or in a dark color. If the room consists of light colors then enhance the room with a bright colored rug which would add more life and vibrancy to the room. Even if you have not yet designed the room and are moving in to a new place then purchase a rug of your liking and then decorate the room accordingly around it. If the rug is for a bathroom then make sure the colors coordinate with the bathmat and surface finishes. For rugs to be kept in the bathroom, kitchen, hall or a room of a child the rugs should not be too light colored, should be simple to clean and stain resistant. Wool is a great option here.


2. Size. If you are looking for an area rug to fill most of the room then leave a border of equal distance on all sides of the rug. A common measurement of an area rug to be placed under a cocktail table should be six by nine foot. An 8x10 or 10x14 should capture an entire living room grouping including sofas and lounge chairs.
