Renovate A Room With Area Rugs

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.

These, of course, come in a number of colors, fabrics, and styles that fit most any decor. Though some appreciate the softness of cotton against the soles of their feet, others may prefer wool or a synthetic blend that can handle foot traffic. Fabrics make a big difference when it comes to maintenance and care. Some synthetic fabrics may be able to handle a machine wash but would last longer being cleaned by a professional.

However, many are drawn into the visual aesthetic that a rug can bring to a space. Whether a bright or light color, contrasting textures or unique pattern, these can be a form of functional artwork. While these are intended to be used on a floor, some people like to hang these on their wall.

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.

While synthetic fabrics may be washed at home as needed, this also allows easy change, as a person may desire. Imported rugs require detailed care, and cost a great deal more. Additionally, these are very heavy to move from one place to another. For some, the price is worth the effort to maintain a colorful accessory with great value.

While a professional cleaning may extend its life, the idea is generally to protect the air from dirt. It may seem like a job but when people first move into a space, they may deep clean the carpet or give the floors a good wiping before laying down a large rug made to work miracles.

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.

Should a person be inclined to do a quick renovation, they may want to try matching window treatments. Whether they prefer blinds or curtain, matching the rug and decor is ideal. If a person wants to use more than one type of dressing for their windows, it could not hurt to experiment with secondary, complementary colors found in other objects in a room.

Another advantage to having a rug in the main space is to camouflage small details. Marks on a carpet or floor that cannot be removed, wires from different devices or tears can disappear in a matter of minutes. This is ideal for those who rent their home or are not in a position to make a permanent repair.
