Has your home begun to look boring and nauseating? Well, for many of us, being trapped inside for almost a year, it can feel that way, and if you don’t want to spend crazy money to upgrade a room or two, all you need is the right rug store and a clear idea of what you want to buy for your house, and it can be transformed.
If you are looking to change the vibe in a room, start by choosing a rug first as these floor coverings are the groundwork for any room modifications. Adding a rug to your room can add coziness, a different look and feel and help you solve your problem without breaking the bank. You might even say it completes a room by tying all the different pieces together visually. The bottom line is, a rug can anchor a room, define it, add warmth and help enhance the room decor.
Here are some ideas on revamping your home with rugs:
Dress up a wall:
In general, rugs are meant to be used as floor decor, but according to a new trend, rugs are being used as wall art now too. By using a rug as a wall hanging piece, it helps you create a central point. Using semi geometric pattern rugs as wall art can be a good idea. The above mentioned American Country rug, as an example…This rug would be suitable as a wall dress up, in perhaps a southern home.
Play with the theme:
Build the color theme of the room around the rug, pull a shade from the rug as a secondary color for curtains, lampshades, and cushions.
Get creative with rugs:
You can add some warmth to your home interior with some crafty rugs. It is a great technique to set the tone of the room, be it traditional, quirky, or contemporary.

Create layers:
Want to try something different, layer a contrasting rug over an existing carpet to infuse warmth and texture. A smaller rug over the bigger one or a printed rug over a solid color would be ideal. But be warned, do not layer too many, the key is to just complement the room.
Play around with shapes and color:
Don’t be afraid to play around with different rugs and textures. When your wall and upholstery are subdued, you can try a rug to emboss the effect. On to shapes… don’t assume that rugs have to be rectangular. The way you showcase your furniture should dictate the shape of your rug. Try figuring out the best shape.

- Should be uses in a smaller space

Rectangle
