Rug Buyers Guide
Rugs are much more than just a floor covering. They can bring an entire room together. They can act as a decorative centrepiece, create or re-enforce the theme, colour and style of a room.
Rugs are of coarse also very practical as a floor protector. They retain warmth, minimise noise and create a stable walking surface.
When choosing a rug here are a few things to consider:
SIZE
The space you wish to put a rug must first be measured to see what size rug will be suitable. You will have to decide if you want the rug to take up the whole room or part of the room, if you want furniture to sit on the rug, fully or partially, and what angel or positioning you wish the rug to have. Once you have taken all these things into consideration you can determine what size and shape rug you want.
COLOUR
When deciding on a colour for your rug you will need to take into consideration everything that will be in the room with the rug and how each item will be visually affected by the rug and how the rug will be affected by each item in turn. You will have to imagine how the rug will look in place with your current décor. Try and choose a rug that compliments your décor and scheme.
STYLE
There are many beautiful styles of rug available that are either hand made or machine made. Here we will cover the main styles of rug that Rugmarketonline.com stocks.
CHILDREN’S RUGS are brightly coloured, very soft, warm and durable. They are suitable to be used as a children’s play rug or can be suitably used as a wall hanging.
PICTURE RUGS make great wall hangings. They are a great way to utilise that empty wall space in your home. Their rustic colours can create a mood that borders on antique but at the same time reinforces the beauty of the rugs theme.
CONTEMPORARY & MODERN RUGS are great decorative pieces for any floor. Their bright and funky designs are very suited to modern homes and décor. Modern rugs can bring new life to an otherwise dull or sterile feeling environment.
TRADITIONAL RUGS come in a wide variety of different styles, patterns, colours and sizes. The traditional rug is more suited to older style décor such as antique furniture and wooden floorboards. This style of rug can do wonders in complimenting a room’s aesthetic appearance and is a great way of ‘tying a room together’.
HALL RUNNERS come in all different colours, styles and patterns from Modern & Contemporary to more Traditional styles. They can be cut to any length you want and over-locked on the ends for a neat finish. Hall Runners are great for hall ways and corridors where there is considerable traffic. They also add warmth and elegance to any space they are used.
