Contemporary décor is certainly a great way to update a home, but choosing contemporary rugs may seem a bit far-fetched to welcome into your home. After all, these unique rugs mix together brightly colored hues, abstract designs and patterns, as well as big and bold shapes. They may be original, but welcoming this type of contemporary décor into your home may seem too bold of a statement. The trick to having a contemporary rug in your home is knowing how to complement it to your décor.

Since many contemporary rugs use bright colors, use this as an opportunity to enhance other colors in your home. For example, if you enjoy that light green paint on your walls, choosing a light green rug will bring out the green color in your room. If you love your red curtains, opt for a rug that uses shades of red. If you simply cannot bring yourself to choosing a brightly colored rug, stick to more neutral colors, such as blacks and beiges.

Next choose the size and shape of your rug, which is dependent on where you will be placing your rug. Rugs can enhance the size of a room, so choose rectangular shapes to make the room look longer and circular shapes to make the room look rounder. Bedside rugs are functional to keep earning morning toes warm. Also note that areas that receive high foot traffic will need a rug made from durable materials, as well as be easy to clean. Good fabrics to consider include polypropylene and wool.

Choosing darker colored rugs is also a great way to reduce stains and foot traffic, as these colors will hide wear and tear better than light colors. Not only are colors an important part of contemporary décor, but so are the patterns and designs. If you enjoy the looks of art, choose contemporary rugs that feature an artistic edge and a knack for abstract ideas.
