When you have beautiful hardwood floors, you’re not always willing to cover them up unless there’s an exceptional rug that will not only add additional beauty to your room but will also bring out the natural beauty of your hardwood floors. Picking the right rug can often be challenging, but following a few simple rules can help you bring your entire room together.
Showcase Your Floors and Furniture
Pick a rug that brings out the colors that you love in your room. Find colors that complement the richness of your hardwood floor and allow it to pop around the rug. You want each of your pieces to complement one another without all blending into each other. If they blend too much you’ll miss out on any aspect of your room being eye-catching or interesting. Instead, it will look bland and muted.
Easy on the Feet
Though hardwood floors are beautiful they’re also, well, hard. Pick an area rug that is thick enough to provide some padding. If you have kids, a soft area for them to walk or crawl without fear of getting hurt is a must. Area rugs come in a range of thicknesses. Find one that fits your lifestyle.
Size
Picking the right size rug is important. Anything that is too big or too small can make for an awkward looking room and can throw off the feel of the space. Measure the square footage of your room and speak with a professional about what size rug will look best in your space considering how your furniture is set up as well.
