Area rugs are versatile. They can create cozy conversation areas, allow you to embrace a bold print or provide a neutral anchor to a room.
Area rugs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. To find an area rug that fits in your room, decide what shape you prefer and take measurements.
First, you should get out the measuring tape and move all the furniture.You need to know the exact size of the space you want to cover with your rug. Then select a rug with colors that coordinate with your decor. The colors in the rug don't have to match the colors in the room, but at least one color should coordinate. If you want an area rug that covers the floor in an entire room, measure the length and width of your room.
In general, use the cost of the other furniture in the room as a guideline for how much to spend.In the living room, for instance, the rug should cost as much as the sofa, or slightly more. Set your price limit before you shop then add 10 percent, so you have some flexibility in that range.
