If your looking to update your space and come into the new decade with a bang you should be looking at paint and area rugs. I’ve focused on paint many times, but today I am going to talk about rugs and the impact they can have on a space. A rug can bring color and sophistication to a room, it can also make it warm and inviting. A rug can also hide things you don’t want people to see or create an easier way to clean up messes.

Useing light rugs can make a room seem brighter and cool. Many people don’t like useing light rugs because they can actually take away from the cozy feeling of a room. I usually only use light rugs in the spring and summer as most of the time is spent outdoors anyway and you want a nice light and freash looking room

Darker rugs or rugs that are more ornate tend to create a cozy feeling in a room. They draw you in and make you feel warm and at home. Useing dark but vibrant rugs can make dull fall and winter days seem brighter and better.

Of course you really can use either type of rug any time of the year it all depends on the style your after, if your eclectic you probably will change them out with the seasions if your more modren then you would probably use bold blacks and light colors. Where classic minded people would use darker rich colors.

The main things you should think about when getting a rug are light and traffic, how much light is in the room you are putting the rug in and how many people are going to be using the room or at least walking across that rug. Getting a rug that is good for that space is very important, lower pile is better for high traffic where a higher pile rug is better for bedrooms and personal spaces. No matter what rug you choose make sure you care for it and that you love it or it will just end up stored away or thrown out and no rug deserves that.

I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
