Choosing Area Rugs
How to select a floor rug?

The process of choosing area rugs might seems to belong to the realm of interior designers and home decor experts. This page will outline the step by step area rug selection process of floor rugs.

The First Step – Recognize the Need

The first step is to recognize the need to add an area rug or a area rug set to the room. An area rug will not only add warmth and an intimacy feeling, it will define the room focal point or it can be used to define areas within a rather large room (e.g. an area in front of the fire place).

Color and Texture

Color catches the eye first. The color of the rug you choose must be in accord with the colors of the walls and furniture. Harmony is the name of the game; harmony can be achieved by using similar colors or by using the rug color to be slightly in contrast to the other colors in the room. Usually, you buy the rug to fit existing colors; new homes and renovated rooms open up home decor opportunities and ideas. For renovated rooms, the area rug can serve as the central motif around which all other elements are arranged.

Design and Pattern

The area rug design endows a personality to the room. The rug complements the overall appearance of the room. Traditional, classical designs fit well with more conservative interior designs while contemporary and modern designs are better aligned with modern furniture. Geometric patterns are fitted to modern settings, while floral patterns fit well to the window garden view. Color and design are interrelated; therefore see how they fit together and how they complement the overall scenery.

Size and Shape

Next after finding the right design and color is to fit the shape and the size. Usually, rugs of the same pattern and color come in a variety of shapes and sizes. See how to find out the area rug sizes as the next step of choosing area rugs.
