There are three things to consider when looking for the perfect rug: color, style, size… and (off the record), TIME!
Color is Key
Select the rug color from your upholstery, draperies, wallpaper or other dominant color in the room.
For a more dramatic and "professionally
decorated" look, match the rug with an accent color from your interior décor.
Once a rug is placed in the room, it will beautifully contrast with
the overall interior design. To ensure color matches, keep pillows or fabrics
swatches on hand during your designer rug search. Colors will appear different
under varied lighting and the samples will aid the eye for the perfect
match.
Style is Important
With thousands of unique rug designs and styles
today, choosing a rug can be quite trying. Decide first if you would
rather have a traditional or a contemporary rug. This important factor
will help to narrow your search and define your possibilities in rug
designs.
The Right Size
Rugs add impact by enhancing the design décor that lies above it.
Determining where the rug will be placed will be a direct correlation to
the size of the rug you purchase. For example, in a 4’x6’ entry foyer, a
rug sized approximately 3’x5’ would look most appropriate. Any smaller
and the rug makes no visual impact, any larger and you lose the pleasing
"framing" effect a rug creates on the flooring below.
