When you plan the decor in your Springs Apartments home, does your attention go much below eye level? Area rugs are a stylish way to add comfort and warmth while defining different areas. Use these helpful guidelines to solve tricky issues including size, shape and placement.
Bigger is (Almost) Always Better
The bathroom is a place for smaller rugs that can double as bath mats. When you place an area rug in a living room, bedroom or dining area, it should be the focal point that anchors the entire space. A handy rule of thumb is to select a rug two feet shorter than the shortest wall in the room.
Pattern or Solid?
Don't be afraid of patterns, even if you already have other patterned pieces. Just make sure the patterns are different sizes so they complement each other rather than fight for attention. If the rug has a central design or asymmetric pattern, be careful that the main features are not covered up by furniture.
Don't Forget About Texture
It's easy to get caught up in thoughts of size, shape and color or pattern while overlooking the matter of texture. Contrasting textures add depth and interest to a room. For instance, if your living room furniture is upholstered in soft fabrics, an area rug in a natural fiber such as sisal or jute would be a good choice.
Think Outside the Box
You're not restricted to a single area rug. Maybe you have an area where two rugs would be better. Layering is another attractive option. Try a round rug on a rectangular one, or use a second rectangular rug placed at an angle.
