Find a rug that you love and use it as inspiration to decorate the space around it. Area rugs are easy to move from room to room. You can put rugs in different rooms of your home to create fresh looks.
An area rug can be the foundation of your room’s look. Even if your taste is traditional, a contemporary rug can add a nice contrast. In a modern room, a traditional or Oriental rug can soften the look.
Look for a common accent color in your room and find a rug with that color in it for additional emphasis. If your room is brightly colored, select a neutral colored rug. If your room is neutral, a vibrant rug will add a needed statement and focal point.
In general, dark colored rugs add warmth to a room while light colored rugs make a space appear larger. If you have pets or children, consider a dark or multi-colored rug to hide dirt.
