Is there anything more fun that decorating your own home?
One of the many things that make homes enjoyable is that you get to reorganize the interior all by yourself. It’s what creates the perfect vibe. Only you decide what goes where. Having said that, let’s take a look at one of the household items that can make or break the vibe that you try to create. This item is the household rug. Granted, that it seems pretty easy to choose one, but actually it’s not.
Choosing the incorrect rug for your room might just take away all the glamour that your house could have otherwise boasted off. Choosing the appropriate one, on the other hand, ensures that your room looks beautiful and everything else seems to be in place. You can say that the rug you choose is pretty much the cherry on top. It just adds a little more to the beauty of your room. Therefore, while choosing one, you must keep three things in mind.
Through this piece by Surfaces Reporter (SR), let's discuss what these three factors are and their impact on your room in terms of the rug you choose.
Colour
The most basic factor that one has to keep in mind while choosing a rug for their room, is its color. The color of your rug needs to be in sync with the color of your room. For example, if there are a plenty of colors and patterns in your room, the best thing to do is to get a monochrome a rug. Getting a multicolored rug might not be pleasing to the eyes. It might give off a vibe that too much is going on in the room. It is possible that some other room has a relatively simple color pattern. In that case, you can purchase a colorful rug as that would not appear jarring.
Keep the above points in mind, you must always remember that the rug is one of the largest objects that occupies your room. Therefore, when you’re purchasing your rug, you’ve to ensure that they are appropriate for the room in which you wish to keep them. However, the aforementioned points are not some divine commandments that you have to follow. You’re always free to break the rules go for a rug that contrasts the color of the room.
Texture
Since the focus is mostly on what color to choose, the texture of the rug is often neglected. However, texture makes quite an impact in terms of the feel and look in your room. Here’s how it does so.
1. Location: You might require rugs in different parts of the room and each room will require a rug that has a different texture, one that is suitable to specificities of the room. One such spot where most peopleplace a rug in their home, is under the dining table. For this particular, it is best not to use a soft rug with long threads that makes it very hard to clean. What you need in fact is a rug with a hard surface and one whose fabric can be maintained easily. Depending on the location, and how easily the rug might get soiled, you need to choose a rug.
2. Atmosphere: Apart from location, the texture of your rug is also dependent on the atmosphere in the room and the kind of vibe you want it bring. A rug with a soft texture is supposed to provide a cozy and comfortable feeling. The best place for such rugs is the living room and your bedroom. On the other hand, rugs with a hard surface are meant for spaces that require a serious presence. If you have an office space at home, you can keep such a rug in that room. The texture of the room will provide the kind of vibe that you want for the room.
Size
Lastly, the size of the rug is equally important when making a choice. You don’t want an excessively large or small rug. If it’s for the living room, make sure that all furniture is placed on the rug. This should give you fair idea of the size of the rug. But if that’s not possible, make sure that you have the front legs on the rug so that you have your feet on them at all times.The dining room requires you to have a rug that can cover adequate space so you can pull the chairs back and yet have them when you sit down.
As you can see, choosing a rug isn’t something that you do on impulse. You have to consider the specific requirements of your room before you can choose one. Even though there are factors as well that influence the choice of a rug, the three mentioned above are the most primary ones. Get these right, and the others will fall in place automatically.
