Area Rugs Are Convenient And Stylish

By Angela Turner


Some home interiors reflect may be considered an extension of individual characteristics. Often people who like to be practical or glamorous may intentionally want the same from their home. Whatever the preference, there is no denying that area rugs can enhance the look of almost any room in the house.

Cotton, sheepskin, wool are just some of the fabrics from which to choose. Some people like the feeling of softness or prefer a rugged surface that can withstand foot traffic while protecting the surface underneath. Going with a synthetic blend if taking their rug to the cleaners is too much of an expense.

Many have great appreciation for the visual aesthetic that rugs brings, especially those large enough to cover a nice amount of floor space. Colorful patterns or vibrant colors or unique textures can greatly change how a room looks. Some feel that gorgeous rugs do not belong on a floor but are better suited on a wall, where it is more visible and not the receiver of mud.

When it come to rooms that appear monochromatic, a little bit of color can liven up the space. Something as simple as a patterned rug can bring contrast to a theme. Normally, traditional rooms may benefit from something eclectic like sheepskin or pattern that matches other interior colors. Even better are earth tone spaces coordinated with something bright like red or a yellowish green.

One benefit of using a synthetic fabric is the ability to change as desired. There are some who desire pure imported materials, like those found in an authentic oriental rug. While definitely gorgeous and colorful, these can be pricey. In addition to requiring a professional cleaning, these are not as easy to move around at random, as it may take more than one person.

What a lot of people do not realize is that an area rug can protect the air from outside elements, when cleaned regularly. Carpets that are not cleaned thoroughly tend to keep debris and dust beneath the surface. The same applies to hardwood or tile floors, even though these are much easier to clean without calling an expert.

This is one reason why hardwood flooring is becoming popular for common areas in the home. Not only are they durable but cleaning is a little easier. The idea is to reduce the allergens and other viruses that enter the home. However, rugs can still serve other purposes.

So if a person is in the mood to decorate, they can coordinate further by adding coordinating window dressings. This does not have to be fancy or layered, as some people may prefer blinds or curtains. If a person wants to use both, it may be a good idea to pick up a second color in the rug or other major furnishing.

Floor rugs can also hide minor imperfections found in a carpet or flooring. Scratches, stains, or electronic wires can look unattractive but an appropriate sized rug can make it disappear. People who rent their home or cannot spend a lot of time cleaning find this works best as a quick fix that is also inexpensive.
