3 Things to Consider When Choosing Area Rugs

While the flooring of your home might be absolutely beautiful, there are still times when you might consider placing a nice rug in addition to enhance the beauty of your flooring, create a warm cushion between your feet and the floor, or even to serve as a focal point of the room. When you come to us for your rugs, there are many options available, so we have written this article to help your decision process. Here are three things to consider when choosing an area rug.

1. Consider its purpose: The most important thing to consider when choosing area rugs for your home is their purpose. Do you plan to place one in the living room to protect the floor as children play? Do you want one as a focal point for the hallway or entryway? Knowing the purpose of the rug will help you decide on the right size and shape of the rug as well as the intricacy of the design.
2. Consider the style of the room: When it comes to choosing the pattern, texture, and color of your area rugs, it’s important to consider the room where a rug will be placed. If you are placing it in a room with busy and vibrant colors and decorations, it might be better to choose a simple design for your area rug, so it doesn’t clash. If you are placing the rug in an empty hallway, you could use the rug to bring the hall to life with bright and intricate patterns and designs.
3. Consider the required maintenance: It’s also important to remember that different area rugs require different levels of maintenance. We have some that are more delicate and require extra care to keep them in good shape while others are designed for heavy foot traffic with minimal maintenance required.
