Read MoreSTYLING SPACES WITH CARPETS OR RUGS?
One of the most common questions that pop up when styling your homes is if you should use Carpets or Rugs for your living space. And if you should happen to use them, are there specifics when it comes to styling them? By the end of this blog, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how you should style your living spaces with both rugs and carpets.
1.Area Rugs
Area rugs are highly catalytic. You can change the appearance of an area with just small rearrangements to the position of the area rugs. They are easy to clean and maintain. They can also easily be moved to another location without any hassle. Rugs are also known to trap dust particles making them an excellent choice for families that have individuals with dust allergies. The easy installation aspect allows you to experiment with a lot of designs and textures giving your feet an experience and the aesthetics of a home, a makeover. An interesting way to style your rugs is to lay them on the walls of your living room. This is sure to spice up the style quotient of your room.
Each material, style, texture, and shape serves a unique purpose when it comes to rugs.
A woolen rug in a muted palette creates a relaxing and harmonious atmosphere in your living room. Whereas if you’re someone who is bold and loves a dark, moody theme then opt for a rug that features rich color tones and textures.
A dark rug can make the space feel intimate and warm while a plain rug isn’t designed for the same effect. Also make sure that if you buy patterned rugs, they’re given enough space and attention. The purpose of a patterned rug might get lost if it is covered by sofas and tables. A rectangular or square rug can really define a space whereas a round rug can add a certain softness to the room.
Before you purchase rugs it’s important to answer one question, is your rug going to be purely functional in a room or is it going to add a hint of luxury?
2. Carpets
Carpets are a style statement. These wall-to-wall coverings provide stability as they’re fixed to the floor. They don’t turn out to be tripping hazards like rugs sometimes. They also last for a long time and are a true investment. The major purpose of Carpets is insulation and with the right kind of cushioning, they can reduce heat loss making the home much warmer.
Neutral-colored carpets can brighten up your living space. They create a harmonious unified feel in your living space. They’re designed to match the design and color scheme of your home. The slip-resistant carpets are perfect for homes with children and the elderly.
Styling your homes with carpets and rugs is a personal choice, but in order to make that choice, it is important that you understand their purpose, styles, and varieties.
