Choose The Right Rugs For Your Home

If you want to give a makeover to your home at a small cost, get rugs in various hues and sizes to create a lasting impression. A pocket-friendly exercise, it is the simplest way to jazz up your interiors. These rugs not only make your home look attractive but also keep the floors in a good shape. Though the market is full of different kinds of rugs, it is necessary to choose the ones that meet your needs. MakaanIQ introduces you to different types of rugs for different parts of your dream abode.  

• Colour of the rug

While selecting the rug, it is essential that you select a colour that complements the décor of your room. If the space already has a lot of colours and patterns, a rug with a neutral colour will fit the best. It is often advised to choose the pattern of the rug first and then add furniture, curtains and other accessories accordingly. The colour of your walls and the flooring also play a crucial role.

• Appropriate texture

The texture of the rug is equally significant. For instance, if your couch's fabric is velvet, a rug with a hard and smooth look will be better. Use a fluffier pile along a leather sofa. While selecting the texture of the rug, do consider if a high number of people usually keep visiting the room. In that case, get a dark or earthy colour, which is easy to maintain.

• Correct size and shape

It's necessary that the rug fits in your sitting area. A big carpet for a small room, or a small one in a big room, spoils the very purpose of having a rug. Usually, a rug is placed in such a manner that the front legs of the furniture fall on the rug.  This ensures that your feet are always on the runner and not on the floor. Always measure the size of the area before you go shopping for a rug. While selecting the rug, the shape of the room is equally important. A square or a round rug appropriately fits in a square room. A rectangular rug goes well with a rectangular room.
