When you’re designing a space in your home, an area rug can be a powerful tool used to help bring color, art, and character into the space. There are several different directions you can go with an area rug. However, there are some things you want to think about when you choose an area rug for your space. Heart of Texas Chem-Dry is here to share some tips to help ensure you are completely happy with the rug that you do choose.
How to Choose the Right Area Rug for Your Room
You are going to want to consider a few things when it comes to choosing the right area rug for your home. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect rug for your space:
– Area Rug Color: A big consideration when choosing an area rug for your space is choosing the right color. This is a natural starting place. You need to think about the colors that you’re planning to bring in the space. Think about whether or not you are wanting bold colors in your rug to make a statement or whether or you’re looking for a more subtle look with neutral tones in the rug. If you have furniture picked out, you can choose your area rug to compliment the colors that are found in furniture and decorative pillows.
– Size of Area Rug: The size of the rug your choose is a huge deal. You don’t want to buy a rug that is undersized for the room. Your rug needs to be large enough that is doesn’t look underwhelming in the space. If you have furniture in the room, you want all the front legs of the furniture on the rug. If you are styling a dining room, all the legs of the chairs around the table should be on the rug. For your bedroom, you want to have the bed fit sitting on the rug with a great deal of the rug visible around it. When it comes to the size of your rug, bigger is always going to be better than too small.
– Area Rug Material: For the most part, when you’re choosing an area rug, you will be met with natural fiber rugs or synthetic materials. Natural fibers will include silk, wool, sisal and grasses. Synthetic materials would include nylon, polyester, and microfiber. The way that you clean the rug will depend on the type of material it is made from so make sure you’re getting on that will fit your lifestyle.
