There are many decorative and functional elements that you can include in your home. One such example is the rug. This can add a lot of colour and texture to your home but as there are so many options to choose from, people tend to be apprehensive about making a decision on which rug is right for their home.
Instead of diving headfirst into available rugs on the market, take some time to think about where you are planning to place the rug and what the main purpose of it will be. Maybe you are going to use it in a high traffic area so that dust and dirt don’t get further into the house and your flooring is kept protected. Or you may be looking to create a bit of cosiness in a reading nook or living room furniture arrangement so that the space is more inviting. You can also add a rug in a bedroom to create a pop of colour and give an impression of cosiness. You will come across rugs in so many different sizes and shapes when you browse furniture stores Sunshine Coast. But to determine the right size for the rug, you have to measure the space you plan to have it in. And there are many ways that you can place furniture on a rug. For example, you can have only the front legs of the furniture arrangement resting on the rug. This way, you will not need to invest in a large rug. While large rugs tend to look very luxurious, they can be a hassle to wash and clean.
A rug has to be just the right size so that it doesn’t overwhelm the space or look too small. Think about the furniture in the room and how you walk through the room when selecting the rug. If you are selecting a rug for your bedroom, you need to make sure that the rug covers the area that you will be stepping on when you get down from the bed. You will find oval, round, square, rectangular and organic shapes for rugs. And you have to think about the impression of the room, its shape and the furniture inside when choosing the shape. If you want to create a bit of cosiness in a square and structured room, you can use a round rug and it will bring a touch of softness to the space. The opposite effect can be achieved by a square or rectangular rug and can be used in an area where you want to highlight structure.
Choosing the right material for the rug is also important. Make sure you consider its maintenancerequirements when deciding this.
