Area rugs highlight colors and textures, giving any room a lot of style and sophistication, and that may be reason enough to add it to your design toolbox. They not only put the finishing touches on a room by tying the elements together visually but also add warmth, comfort, a grounding aspect, and noise elimination. To learn more about what you can do, feel free to stop into Traditions Flooring and speak to our experts at our area rug store.
Diversity, harmony, and volume control
You can use these rugs to break up a room visually. This is a particular advantage when you have an open layout or want to section off a corner of a room like a library or a place to write bills. They’re instrumental in studio apartments where a separate area has to be created for sleeping.
If you’re using two rugs in one room to separate the conversation and dining areas, make sure they coordinate well to harmonize; while they don't need to be perfect matches, you want to be sure not to create visual chaos. Finally, you can use a rug to layer up and make some excitement over a blander space or even tone down one that’s already loud and vibrant.
Focal points and color schemes
If you’re starting with a bare room, you might want to add the rug first and then design around it, such as painting the walls or choosing upholstery colors that will bring out the rug colors. You can also use it to create a focal point to make it unique; they don’t have to be rectangles but can be round or ovals to complement a furniture arrangement.
