A rug will provide beauty and interest in a room by defining the overall design and unifying the space as an anchor for furnishings. Determining the following factors will help to narrow your search for the perfect area rug.
- Size and shape is often the best place to start since they will remain the same regardless of style and color.
- Determine the style, whether that's traditional, transitional or modern.
- Consider the range of colors that will work in the space.
- Decide if you will be decorating to match the rug, or if you want the rug to match the existing décor.
- Although it's important to have a budget, don't let cost alone dictate the rug you choose. Look at other important factors like construction and material to help guide you to make the best decision for your space.
