When considering the structure of a room interior, there are many things to keep in mind. It is no secret that the choice of furniture, as well as its positioning and density are of key significance for the general layout of the room, same goes for color and pattern of your walls and size and distribution of your windows. However, most people are not that aware just how crucial effect can a well-chosen and well placed rug have on the aestheticism of your home’s interior.
Giving Your Room Its Aesthetic Character
The right rug can be the key to giving your room completely different aesthetic image and character as well as giving it a completely new perspective than the one it would have without it. There are many ways in which rug selection can influence the general perception that you and others have of your room.
Features that influence this are the texture and the color of the rug, but also about its shape, size and its position in your room. Here are some of the ways in which you can manipulate these features into being your greatest ally, on a quest to decorate your room with the use of rugs.
The Right Proportions
The question of “how to select the right rug for you and your home?” is not that simple to answer. Still there are a couple of rules that everyone should be aware of and that should definitely help you chose the best rug for the space youhave available. First of these few simple rules, upon which most of the modern designers agree is that sometimes “less is more”.
The width of your straight runner rug should be about the width of your door or few inches less. On the other hand if you want to use the round area rug in your home, it should be positioned under some lighter fixture. As we found out in a recent interview with the people behind a highly-rated company specialized in runner rugs, for the hallway rugs, use the length to cover the entire hallway and make sure to leave enough space wall to rug on both sides because of the symmetry. Also if you have any furniture in your hallway, make sure to keep it completely on or completely off the rug.
A Two-Rug Room
Using two rugs versus using one rug both have their advantages and disadvantages. However, it is a common knowledge that when using two rugs in the same room, it is sometimes best to use rugs of different proportions. This is quite important thing to know since using two rugs of the same size can make your room seem considerably smaller.
The main reason for using of rug in decorating your interior is to make use them with purpose to separate different areas within the same room. This is especially good and useful for rooms that have double functions such as office / guest room or in case that your apartment is at the same time also an artistic studio.
The Lifesaving Liners
Using liners to fix your rugs is always both practical and smart idea. However, your liner should never be too visible and too transparent so that it may seriously threaten the harmony between your rug and the floor. This is why you should always try to find liners that visually match the color of your floor and through this try and make them invisible.
Choice of the right rug for your room is as crucial for its general look as is the choice of the right furniture. Therefore, it is something that should be done with care and awareness of both your room’s possibilities and its needs. If you manage to keep all this in mind when choosing it, you simply cannot fail.
