Rugs are a great way to add warmth, define spaces and layer in colour and texture. They also help accentuate furniture and create a sense of depth. Whether the rug is the bold focal point of a room or it’s just there to tie in colour schemes, they have an incredibly transformative effect on any space.
Rugs come in virtually every size, shape, pattern and material one can imagine. And they’re a great option if you want to refresh the look of your space but can’t paint the walls or hang more art or decor. They also work as well, if not better, than a throw pillow or piece of art to unify colour schemes.
They are comfortable underfoot. Rugs are softer and more flexible than hardwood floors and carpet, so they absorb some of the shock of footfall and reduce sound echoing in the space.
Many people find that rugs make their space feel more homey and cozy, especially if they have wood floors in the living area or hallways. If you have dark hardwood floors, a rug in a lighter tone can help bring out the natural beauty of your wood without overwhelming it. Rugs protect wood floors from scratches and scuffs. They’re particularly useful in high traffic areas and near entrances to keep shoes from leaving marks or bringing in sand, dirt and debris from outside.
