Buying a rug may not seem like a vital step in a living room decorating plan, but this is certainly not the case. A great rug can bring a room's design together, or tear it apart. In order to avoid making costly, yet common rug-buying mistakes, here are a few helpful suggestions.
- Don't go too small: A rug that is too small to tie a room together will throw off your design scheme very quickly. Investing in a quality rug that is large enough to tie your room together is important and not a decorating suggestion to overlook. You can design your entire living room around your rug, so make sure it isn't too small to do anything with it.
- Layer it up: If you do have a small rug, try layering it with a larger rug for a unique style. You can also layer a brightly toned small rug, with a larger, milder toned rug in order to bring in some different elements and colors to your room.
- Don't choose last: A rug, especially one with a bright or colorful pattern will be a huge focal piece in your room, so do not save choosing it for last. It is a highly impactful piece of furniture that can either tie a room together, or tear it apart. If you do choose to save buying a rug for last, try choosing a neutral tone or mild pattern to not overwhelm your design and guests.
