A well placed rug can change the look for any room, it can
add warmth and comfort, it can help you define space and make it look more
intimate or more spacious. Rugs anchor a space and bring all the elements
together to create a more cohesive look. Another important thing is they help you cover
any imperfections on your floor.
Although its expected that you would have rugs in your living room or bedroom, rugs are quite good in dining rooms or hallways.
Here we give the four ways a rug can be used to instantly
spruce up your space.
Define separate
spaces- If you have an open plan apartments, you can use rugs to demarcate
different spaces. In case you use different rugs in different areas, then make
sure that they are of varying sizes so that the space looks bigger and more
open. Also, make sure that all rugs complement each other in terms of design
and style.
Change the size of a
room- Rugs are one of the most effective ways to change the space of your
room. A large rug in small room will make it look larger while a small one will
cramp the space further. Its all about the balance, in a large room, you can
add multiple smaller rugs in different colors or shapes to add a more intimate
feel.
Enhance your style-
Rugs have a huge impact on the rooms, so definitely consider all options before
buying. Think about your overall décor and furniture, and what sort of
statement you want to make before you take the final decision.
Add texture- Rugs are made in a variety of materials- wool,
cotton, jute and a number of shapes as well. So in case your room is going to experience
a lot of foot traffic then use a jute or sisal rug, which is going to be
sturdy. For a living room, a wool rug will give an instantly inviting look.
