Teal Rugs Are The Ultimate Statement Piece 0

Jul13

For those who want to add something both beautiful and unique to their homes, teal rugs are a good option.  These rugs range from large area rugs in a solid, vibrant shade of teal to smaller patterned runners that brighten up a hallway.  Regardless of where this piece will be used, it is sure to instant update and transform a room.  As rugs are so easy to install, and can generally fit anywhere, they are a great way for inexperienced decorators to try introducing new colors into a room without devoting much time or effort.

If you are decorating a room whose decor is already on the busy side, it is important to use some discretion when choosing a teal rug.  The brightest shades of teal can make a cluttered room feel even more so, so it might be wise to stick to those tones that are more muted.  Instead of covering the entire floor with a wall to wall rug, consider a small round accent rug. This will allow you to work the color into your room without drowning everything else out.

However, when decorating rooms that are generally devoid of color, it can pay off to be adventurous.  Personalize rooms that are dominated by white or matching furniture with a splash of teal to lend the decor a bit more personality.  In these rooms, the size of the rug is really up to you.  For an area rug, a pattern with teal as the dominant color will help introduce your favorite shade without going overboard, while a smaller oval rug in solid teal may be placed under a coffee or dining table.

Even if you are new to decorating, you should not be intimidated by playing with color in your home.  By incorporating more color, many find that their homes and their furniture instantly look newer and more fashion forward.  Teal rugs are a small investment in your home that can go a long way.

Contemporary Rugs For Your House 0

Feb21

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.
