A rug can transform a room, and add a touch of refinement to your home. Depending on the room size and the feel you wish to create there are different types of rugs to choose. Here is a simple guide to help you choose the perfect rug for your room.
Why Do You Need to Consider the Room?
Different rugs go with different spaces. For instance, the kitchen needs a hardwearing rug that is also easy to clean. You could go for a darker shade or dense patterns for floor areas that usually see a lot of traffic.
Why Do You Need to Measure the Floors Before Buying a Rug?
Measure your floors to figure out the dimensions of the rug for your room. There are few other tricks to use to ensure that the rug fits the room. Don’t buy a small rug that does not touch the furniture. Your rug should create an area that brings all the furniture together. And, you could try piecing newspapers together to cover the floor area that the rug needs to fit. Always remember, the larger the rug, the more it will dominate the room.
Why Do You Need to Consider the Fiber of the Rug?
Different fibers are appropriate for different spaces in your home. This depends on the occupants and your entertainment habits. Acrylic rugs are hardwearing and pretty easy to clean. It can also be woven to replicate wool. Polypropylene is a synthetic material, which works well in high traffic areas. These rugs can come in flat weave or shaggy designs. Polypropylene can even be made to feel soft. Viscose is less durable. But, it adds that feeling of luxe and sheen to your room. Viscose is usually blended with wool. However, only use viscose for areas that see very little traffic.
