Create definition in a room
Whether your room is small or large, a rug can help create definition between various zones in your interior. In a big open-plan living room and kitchen, your choice of rug can clearly assist in demarcating areas for dining, lounging and entertainment. Furthermore, a rug can help to anchor your furniture and create balance in larger spaces that need definition.
Size matters
The biggest mistake you can make in a room is to select a rug that is far too big or far too small to fit the space. An oversized rug can overwhelm the room and will most likely feel more like a fitted carpet than an area rug. On the other hand, if too small, your rug will feel out of place as if your furniture is afloat and disjointed.
Our suggestion? Measure the room and find a rug that will adequately fit your space and anchor your furniture. In a living room, for example, ensure that your couch and chairs fit over the edge of the rug, and help to bring balance to the room.
Pattern and Colour
A rug can instantly complement and complete the overall look of your design in a room. This is also a great way to pick up on accent colours for your space. Colour and pattern will not only tie into your colour scheme but will also draw your eye downward to capture the fuller essence of your space.
Popular patterns include vintage prints, geometric designs and linear layouts. As for colours, you can really go wild with your favourite choices here. We suggest picking up on the accent colours that are already in your room and tying this into a beautiful, statement rug. Furthermore, this could be a great way to add impact to a room! Read More…
