An area rug can quickly become the focal point of your room, tying together every last piece of furniture, artwork and other accessories. Before buying any area rug, here are 5 things to consider.
Size & Shape
know the size and shape of the rug you are looking to purchase. Rugs come in
many different shapes and sizes, so having the right size and shape in mind will
help in the buying process.
Choosing a Color
Obviously, rugs come in many different colors. As the buyer, you should decide if you would like the colors to match your other home decor, or if you would like the rug to stand out and be a color on its own.
Pattern
Decide what type of pattern you would like, or if you want a pattern at all. A patterned rug vs. a plain rug can make all the difference in your room.
Style
Figure out what style will reflect your house. Style can range from floral to
traditional patterns.
Consider the design
This can range from having the pattern stretch across the entire rug to just being in one area of the rug.
It might seem like an easy decision, but once you see the different styles, shapes and colors, you might have wished you took some time to think about your decision before starting to shop for that perfect area rug.
