- Try using modern rugs to define or separate areas, such as dining areas, seating areas, and foyers. This is very useful in smaller studio apartments, allowing a smaller space to seem like it contains multiple rooms. This trick is also helpful when trying to decorate a larger room, which can actually be fairly difficult. You'll be able to create separate seating areas within one large space.
- They do not just have to be put on the floor or placed underneath a table. They can be utilized as tapestries and hung up on a wall as a sort of giant piece of art. A very colorful design provides lots of options for accent colors that you can then incorporate into your furniture, accent items, and paint colors.
- Think outside the box! Many modern rugs aren't even rectangular anymore. Let the way you group your furniture dictate the shape. With a lot of furniture with sharp lines and clean edges, it might look good to go with an oval or circular option. These are unexpected and will add an interesting element to your space. It can be a conversation starter!
- Adding them to your space can be one of the cheapest and easiest ways to completely revamp a room. You can even change them out based on the seasons. This way, you will never be tired of your home.
- Live somewhere cold and sick of feeling the cold floor on your feet when you step out of bed in the morning? Invest in a nice, fuzzy rug. Popular choices are fur, sheepskin, and hair-on-hide. Although these require a little more maintenance, you'll be grateful for them when the temperature drops.
- Modern rugs aren't just for living rooms and dining rooms! Consider adding one, or a grouping of three or four, to your child's space or nursery. This is an easy, cheap way to inject some whimsy and color into a space.
So if you're ready to add pizazz to your home in a convenient way, it may be time to visit your local store. You'll be surprised how much of a difference it can make!
