A rug can change the entire look and feel of any room in your home. The best way to finish off the look of any room is to add a rug. It fulfils the empty space left in any room, though there are things that need to be considered when buying a new rug.
Scale
Your new rug must be scaled to fit in with the rest of your décor. It is best to treat your rug as an anchor point in any room. Your rug doesn’t need to be isolated. It is in fact recommended for furniture to be placed on top of your rug, for example a coffee table placed on top of a rug in the living room. A rug can also be used to define different spaces of a room, such as in a large open room a rug may differentiate the living area from the dining room.
Size
There are two sizing options when it comes to choosing a rug for your home. The first, is the large oversized method, where all of your furniture in your living space sits on top of the rug. The second option and traditional method used is where your sofa and the other existing furniture around the rug and only the coffee table is situated on top. If the new rug is used for the dining room, which sits under the dining table, you will need to keep in mind for the dining chairs to be accommodated for in a pulled out position.
Look and Style
You must have a specific type of style in mind when buying a new rug. You will need to consider which room it will be used in, so it can fit in with the current style. It is also recommended to go for a good quality and well-constructed rug as they will last longer down the track. Certain rug textures are ideal for warmth in your home. Also colour plays a big factor as it needs to blend in well with the current living décor.
