Enhancing Your Home Décor with Rugs


The use of rugs in homes dates back thousands of years. Animal hides were once used in crude homes to provide warmth as well as sleeping space. There were even rugs made from weaving reeds. Today there are many types and styles to choose from to add to your home's décor. 

Décor and More
One of the ways of making a room look larger is to add a room size rug. Make sure that it is about three feet less than the width and length of the room. Rugs can also help rooms that are somewhat bare of furniture to look fuller. When large rooms are used for more than one purpose, a rug can help to define different areas. For example, when a living room adjoins a dining area, a rug can help to separate the two in a becoming way.

The color of a rug or rugs should tie in other colors used in the room. Consider the furniture, wall hangings, and paint colors when selecting a rug that will enhance the look of the room. Using more than one rug in a room can help to create a unique look. However, they should be different sizes to generate variety.

Patterns or Solid Colors?
Depending on the décor of the room where the rugs will be used, a pattern or a solid color can be chosen. If the furniture and walls are a solid color, a pattern can create a good look. The same is true for rooms with patterns on the furniture and walls. A solid color will tie in the other colors used in the room. If you are using more than one rug in a room, make certain the patterns complement each other rather than clashing.

No matter what style you have chosen for your home, a rug can enhance the look. From contemporary to modern, rustic, or shabby chic, it is possible to find area and accent rugs that will allow you to decorate exactly as you wish.
