Rugs, with their unique patterns and shapes that can be applied in diverse ways, are used to add quality and structure to a room. Bare floors look better and spaces feel cosier when overlaid with rugs. When making a decision to adorn your space with a rug, any mistake in selecting the right texture or design could result in the entire plan being out of order. Fret not, we are here to give you some tips on how to do this without stress. Let’s rug it!
STEP 1: Begin With The Right Colours
You could either choose a colour that easily blends with the existing room design or create a distinguished contrast by using an accent colour which doesn’t look odd amid other elements in the space. Get inspiration from the walls, furniture and upholstery. The idea is to maintain harmony so you want something that’ll tie your design together.
STEP 2: Size Rightly
The size of the rug has to be suitable for your space, be it the bedroom, dining or living room. If it’s too big, it will make the entire space appear more scattered than stylish. Too small, and you’ll be unable to create the desired effect because it will seem lost in the space. It is therefore essential to consider the sizes of the rug, furniture, and space to create a symmetrical layout.
STEP 3: Incorporate Patterns
Do you have plain or bold colours on your walls and furniture? Use patterned rugs to create variety and add an attractive style to your space. Complement this with colourful artworks and accessories, let each element flow into the other. Delicately patterned rugs will add texture to your space but bear in mind that too many patterns can make a room look overcrowded.
STEP 4: Enhance an Accent or Create One
Choosing a rug with colours which enhance the focal point in your space creates a subtle yet enchanting effect. This can also be achieved by using a colourful or uniquely patterned rug that stands out amid other design components in the room.
STEP 5: Maintain Uniformity
When using two or more rugs in a room, ensure that their styles are complementary or the effect would be chaotic. If your wallpapers have heavy patterns, opt for a simple rug with cool colours to tone down the effect – let the colour, texture and pattern of the rug be in harmony with the other elements in the room (furniture, upholstery, drapery, blinds etc.)
STEP 6: Distinguish Spaces
You can use rugs to highlight specific areas in your apartment while adding variety to a very large space. Each area can have a unique colour, shape and pattern that distinguishes it from the other – this defines the entire space and adds style to it. Doing this will also help achieve coordination within your space.
