Make An Artistic Style Statement With A New Rug

Posted on - 27th July 2020

Rugs can be used to great effect in your home. They can pull together your interior design effortlessly with very little planning. Fantastic news for those who are looking to pep up their homes on a shoestring! To get the most out of your rug and make a real impact in your home, there are some best practices in relation to size and placement (especially in relation to other furniture).

Making A Statement With Your Rug

Go Bold In Your Home

If you really want to make a statement then go bold! Think textured rugs in bold hues that don’t just fade into the background but pop out and make themselves heard! Bold graphics and textures work particularly well for interior decor that features natural tones and textures. For example, a fluffy textured rug in terracotta looks both warm, inviting and eye-catching when paired with houseplant and textiles such as leather or hemp.

Try Vintage Patterns

Genuine vintage rugs look the part, but they aren’t always friendly on your bank account. That being said, plenty of new rugs are available in vintage style patterns to help you get ‘the look’ for less. The great thing about vintage style rugs is that they can be used to great effect in almost any room of the home. In an ultra-modern kitchen or living room, they look effortless and interesting when placed on a wooden floor, or they can be paired with kitsch and quirky accents for an old-world style theme with country elements.

Make Like Switzerland

There’s nothing wrong with going for neutral tones. In fact, neutral works fantastically when paired with bold colours. For example, a vibrant feature wall can pair effortlessly with a neutral rug that creates texture but does not divert attention away from other bolder features of a room. The key here is to find balance. If you don’t want your rug to be the focal point then opting for neutral cream tones, or even brown can be an excellent choice.

Embrace Layering

Layering is an interior design technique that never goes out of style. This works particularly well with a rug that features a loud pattern. For example, if you have a large rug with a bold pattern you could position it under a sofa or bed to break it up and stop it from overpowering the room. This also works particularly well if you punctuate the room with furniture and finishing touches that utilise the same tones.
