Decorating a home is a big job, but for most, it is a pleasurable task.  In fact , home is where to heart is, and folk are prepared to go thru great cost and great effort to brighten their abode in that perfect style.  As hardwood flooring makes a comeback in popularity ( versus most rooms being covered with carpet as in latest decades ), area rugs are also inflating in popularity.  With this increase in demand comes a rise in supply, and in the choices available on the market today.  How does one choose the perfect rug?  These are some straightforward guidelines. 

Maybe the largest consideration is size.  Area rugs come in all sorts of sizes and styles, ranging from tiny accent rugs to room-size coverings.  Obviously, the room will have to be measured to determine the right size.  Room size isn’t the only consideration, however.  The function of both the room and the rug must be taken accounted for when deciding the suitable rug size.  Is the rug meant to anchor a particular furniture grouping?  In this case, the suitable size will be much smaller than if the rug is supposed to cover an entire room.  It’s helpful to use a tape measure to visualize different sizes in the room before going shopping, because the size will always look different in the store than it will in the home. 

Also needing to be considered are shape, color, and pattern.  Rectangular rugs appear to be the hottest, but square, circle, and oval are all making strides in popularity.  As far as color is concerned, area rugs are integral to a room’s color palette.  They can function as an accent, that will stand out ; as an anchor, which is less conspicuous ; or they can tie the whole decorating scheme together.  to get the best match, take a fabric swatch or paint chip with for the shopping trip.  Patterns vary widely these days, from traditional floral and oriental designs that repeat a specific motif over and over, to giant, single-shape patterns that are only featured once, to geometrical designs of varying scales.  All of these considerations have a huge impact on a room and must be considered carefully in order to buy the perfect area rug!
