When decorating a room it’s important to focus on details. Rugs, for example are often ignored. Many do not think carefully enough of fit into an existing room before making a choice. It’s important because once you place a rug in a room it often becomes the element that attracts all the attention.

That is why you have to be careful when buying a rug. You have to take into account all aspects, especially practical ones such as appropriate size and color, as well as quality.

Color is more important than you might think

When you buy a rug you must think carefully about color. A rug must fit  into the decor of the entire room. It must pull together furniture and walls. This isn’t necessarily about perfectly matching colors. It’s more about choosing patterns and colors that complement the decor already extant in the room.

For example, the color you choose will influence the mood you create in the room. A dark rug makes the room more somber while light colors make the room appear brighter.

What is the best material?

Viscose is a good option because it feels like silk but lays like wool. Wool rugs are the most common and they are usually the best option available. It’s also why they’re more expensive. If you’re not a fan of wool or you simply cannot afford it, you can always buy a synthetic rug.

Wool rugs can be made of various types of wool. For example, wool from animals living in higher altitudes is actually better.

Analyze all your options

Before you make a choice check out multiple options. There are numerous styles and textures. You need to know all the alternatives before making a choice.

While some prefer going to a store to check out the rugs themselves, you can also look for Area Rugs online. There are plenty of options and you will also be able to compare the prices without leaving your own home.

Find the ideal size

The size is very important. A rug that is too big might not fit with the furniture, while one that is too small makes the room feel small. A bold choice includes putting together multiple small rugs that match each other in material, pattern and quality.
