Rug hues, style, shape and patterns

Rugs are focal elements of home décor. Varying in hues, style, shape and patterns, it is the most certain way to add warmth and cordiality to many a space and corner. Contemporary soft furnishings include rugs and throws that not only bestow a space with warmth and comfort but also help in styling a welcome statement. As to contemporary rugs and designs, you can try to instill a balance of texture, color and pattern to add life and interest to a space.

You can refashion a space with sisalrugs and reinstate the same room with different charms. You can also play with different rug sizes and textures to create depth and add versatility to a space. Neutral tones are great, but need not be the rule of thumb either, try and keep the ‘interest’ element unique to rest of the theme and your peculiar taste to keep the individuality intact.

Bigger rugs tend to connect rest of the décor and create a parallel tone for the sofa, chairs and coffee tables. It also imparts a room with openness, acting like a surround for seating area. Complimenting and harmonizing carpet textures and colors can do wonders to unify a space as per your liking. A wool is definitely the most popular rug material, though there are natural fiber rugs that use sisal, sea grass, jute, hemp, and coir that are easy and convenient to maintain.
