A gorgeous rug makes any room more comfortable and helps bring all the elements of a room together. Through both color and texture, a rug adds depth and richness to a room. And because a rug’s color pops from underneath it’s more subtle than color on walls, making it easier to go with brighter colors and patterns. Rugs also pamper the feet, protect and warm floors and reduce noise. When choosing a rug, look for a stye and color that will complement the room’s walls and decor. For a traditional room, look for Persian, Oriental and Native-American styles. Complex traditional patterns and rich colors are typical of this style. For a contemporary room, look for bold geometric designs, abstract patterns and unique textures like braids or shags. For a room that’s less ornate than traditional but not as severely basic as contemporary, look for a transitional style. Rugs in this category are more open in pattern than a traditional rug and softer in color and line than a contemporary rug. Whatever the style, with the right design in the right combination of colors, a rug becomes more than a rug, it becomes a work of art!
