Rugs for Decoration
There are so many ways that you can use a rug to make a statement. If a room is too large a rug can be used to separate several areas to have several unique areas. Use different colors, styles, and sizes to make the statement you want to make.
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 however, you’d like the rug to be the point of focus, you should make sure the rug has a bold design or pattern, but only if the furniture’s color is solid and/or subdued. If the furniture’s colors are pronounced, the rug’s pattern can be of contrasting color to set it off differently from the furniture but the general color should still complement that of the furniture. The color will be the unifying element in the room’s decoration.
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.) If you want a warm look you can use dark colors or pattern. If you want a light color use light colored rugs to make the room spacious feeling.
2.) Try different shaped rugs; oval, round, hexagon, octagon, and more. Each shape takes on a different look.
3.) Depending on the room’s general appearance, fringes on rugs can add an Oriental flair to a room. Be careful when vacuuming the fringe, though: do not use the vacuum brush or beater bar, both of which can damage the fringe fibers.
4.) Try using worn out rugs to create pillows for your sofa. Add some tassels on the corners in order to style it up.
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.
Use your imagination when decorating with rugs. You can use a rug in several different ways and create a unique look every time.
