Do you think your floors need a new look and feel a little ... well?
If you are faced with spacious hardwoods or monotonous wall-to-wall carpeting, which absolutely screams for some variety or simplicity of a patterned carpet that just screams, you can find an easy and inexpensive solution to carpets.
Carpets are one of the most flexible tools in the home decorator’s arsenal. They can be selected in colors, textures and designs to complement or contrast with existing floors and floors.
They can warm and soften a tile or stone; protect areas with high traffic carpet and hardwood spare finishes.
And if you have a room or a series of interconnected rooms that are united by a neutral shade of carpet from wall to wall or hardwood floors, the correct patterns in the area can perform several functions.
If you are lucky that you start from scratch, you can choose a large area rug to place on hardwood or carpet and match colors with paint, wallpaper, upholstery and window treatments using area rugs, allowing them to identify your furniture.
But regardless of your situation, first and foremost, consider your colors. Proper use of color is the most effective way to add tranquility or hiss to your room.
If you are working with a room in which bright colors and intricate patterns are already preferred, reduce some of the vibrations using area rugs with a simple design and neutral shades.
Conversely, if your environment is saturated with shades of off-white, beige or any other color without a command, you can make a very personal statement with dramatic and brightly colored rugs.
And even if you are excited about your existing colors, you can propagate their effects with the help of carpet areas that are either full or contrasted with them; a reasonable choice and placement of area carpets will surely attract the visitor's attention to those parts of the room that you want to emphasize.
But "reasonable" is an operational word.
You can avoid some serious design mistakes if you buy existing wall paper as well as upholstery and window fabrics when you buy carpets for your area. This will improve your chances of choosing rugs that look like at home.
And decide if you need indoor carpets to experience the space — if so, light colors and simple patterns are best — or add warmth and comfort to a large room for which dark, richly patterned floor mats are more effective.
Area rugs can also provide texture to your decor. Hardwood floors especially benefit from some textural contrast; You can allow the theme of your room to dictate your choice of texture.
Either dried or natural sisal carpets treated with African sisal fibers, with their tightly woven, roped appearance, lend themselves to modern, tropical or country design schemes.
Many modern wool or nylon mats offer several textures that have both loop and beam heaps woven in different lengths to give them surfaces of different heights and sizes.
Woven, rya, shag, Berber or sculpted wool rugs are other options.
So don't let your floors scare you for another minute. There is a zone mat to eliminate any “area of concern” you might have!
