Throw Rugs
When it comes to choosing the perfect throw rugs for your home, the choices can seem limitless and overwhelming. But with a bit of research and some planning, the purchasing of one throw rug at a time is not as difficult as you would think. With only a few factors to keep in mind, being surrounded by thousands of available styles, colors and fabrics it can be an enjoyable experience with lasting effects.
1- Think about whether you want your rug to be the focus of the entire room or just an addition. If you choose one as a center piece, always select one with a large medallion. But, if there is another point of the room whether like a large grand piano, you may want to choose an area rug with beautiful patterns but without a large medallion to detract from the other centerpiece.
2- Make sure that the patterns of your throw rugs do not compete with other patterns such as the curtains or furniture upholstery. But this rule is simple to remember: Always choose a busy pattern for your rug if you have a plain decor or choose a plain pattern for your rug if you have a highly decorated room. Choosing the opposite way can result in either a room that looks tremendously busy or one that is a little plain.
3- Always coordinate colors with the decor of the room. Make sure that at least one color from the rug matches the colors of the room. When shopping for throw rugs or even larger area rugs, make sure to take swatches of either wallpaper, paint, or fabric with you. Remember that rugs with lighter colors will help make the room seem larger while rugs with darker colors will make the room feel more warm and inviting.
So the next time you are ready to purchase any throw rugs, remember the simple rules: Focus, Pattern and Color. Using these will aid in your selection and no longer make you feel overwhelmed. The reward of this confidence will be a wonderful addition to your home that will be noticed for many years to come.
