Area Rugs Are Convenient And Stylish

By Angela Turner


Some home interiors reflect may be considered an extension of individual characteristics. Often people who like to be practical or glamorous may intentionally want the same from their home. Whatever the preference, there is no denying that area rugs can enhance the look of almost any room in the house.

These come in multiple styles and colors but fabric is often the first consideration before making a purchase. Cottons are soft and easy to clean, while wool is durable but needs to go to the dry cleaners at least once a year. Some people like synthetic yarns to get the best of both worlds but professional cleanings will help it last longer.

Many choose a rug for its visual appeal, followed by its practicality. These days, rugs are available in a number of sizes and textures and hues. Some are so decorative that people feel that it is better hung, or mounted, to a wall instead laying on the floor.

Those into decorating often agree that spaces with a uniform color or are in neutral shades could benefit from a bright color. Other contrasts include a large textured rug used in a room with simple lines or curves in the decor and furnishings. Sometimes a vibrant pattern, like leopard print or Aztec designs, present a nice surprise to plain spaces.

Imported rugs are normally made with pure fabrics and need professional cleaning. Synthetic blends or cottons tend to be the opposite and cost much less. While a rug from Russia or the Orient may have greater value, synthetic fabrics are not only lighter in weight but the affordability makes it easier to change as needed.

While a professional cleaning may extend its life, the idea is generally to protect the air from dirt. It may seem like a job but when people first move into a space, they may deep clean the carpet or give the floors a good wiping before laying down a large rug made to work miracles.

This is one reason why hardwood flooring is becoming popular for common areas in the home. Not only are they durable but cleaning is a little easier. The idea is to reduce the allergens and other viruses that enter the home. However, rugs can still serve other purposes.

If one decides to decorate a room using the color of an area rug, window treatments are the most practical way to go when experimenting. A person can decide if a curtain or special type of blinds are the best choice for their home. Should a combination of treatments be used, it can be fun to pick a secondary color found in the rug or a large piece of furniture.

Large rugs can also cover small imperfections. Carpet stains, floor markings, or device wires are instantly hidden once a rug is in place. Renters and people with little time to give their home a detailed cleaning appreciate what rugs can do.
