Rugs for Decoration
Rugs have several uses and it can make a statement no matter which way you choose to display your rug. Using different colors, shapes, sizes and styles are easier than ever when you consider all the options you have available today.
Each room should have its own distinct look and feel. In home decor, opposites attract. For example, floral designs go great with solid colors that are stable. Use small patterns to compliment large patterns.
If you have furniture as a focal point you can use your rug to compliment your focal point. Use colors that blend in and avoid primary colors that may stand out.
If your focal point is the area rug itself you can use bright colors or large busy patterns to allow the rug to stand out.
If your focal point is an area such as the fireplace you will be able to compliment the fireplace by adding a warm tone rug that can be placed in front of the fireplace. Avoid placing more than one focal color in a rug or area or you may find that one color will compete with the other, throwing off the balance of the room you was trying to create.
There are other ideas to decorating with rugs:
1.) Light spacious feeling rooms can be achieved by using light colors and patterns. Warm areas can be achieved by using dark colors and patterns.
2.) Try different shaped rugs; oval, round, hexagon, octagon, and more. Each shape takes on a different look.
3.) Consider using fringes on the edges of your rugs. Be sure to carefully vacuum around them so you don't ruin the rug or the vacuum.
4.) Turn your worn out rugs into sofa pillows and add some style with tassels on the corners.
5.) A colorful rug may also make a good wall decoration. Tack or nail it to the wall, or sew loops at a long edge, run a window rod through them, and attach the rod to a pair of window brackets. You will make only two holes in the wall and the rug will hang straighter also.
Decorating with rugs can give life to a dull room. Use the rugs to make a statement or to instantly change the look of a room.
