Rugs act as functional art for the floor that add warmth, texture and color to a space. They also help define a space and create a focal point, especially when placed under a piece of furniture like a couch or table. They can add a pop of color or pattern that contrasts with other elements in the room. They can add comfort for the feet, help reduce slips and falls and even act as a sound buffer on hard surface floors.
Rugs are available in a huge array of colors, styles, fabrics, materials and shapes. They can be used to complement or contrast with other furniture, wallpaper, paint, wall art, drapes and curtains. A whimsical or brightly coloured rug may make a statement and stand out against neutral or natural coloured flooring while a bold printed rug can balance out a more traditional style.
Many homes now have open floor plans and large living spaces with tile or hardwood floors. These types of flooring can sometimes echo and carry sounds throughout the space. Adding a rug can significantly decrease the noise level in a home especially when paired with a pad under the carpet.
A rug can visually anchor a grouping of furniture in a room and make everything feel connected and cohesive. They can also provide a visual divider between two rooms and help to soften the transition. Rugs can also help to tame a space that might be too stark or modern and can serve as a backdrop for your personal decor and accessories.
