Designer Rugs in South Baldwin County, Alabama
You may not stop to think about rugs very often, but the right rug can complete the look of a room. Seemingly small details like rugs can actually help set the tone for an entire space. The floor of any room is one of its largest surfaces, and while we may not spend much time looking directly at the floor, the colors, textures, and patterns we select for rugs make a powerful contribution to the color scheme and atmosphere of your home, office, or other space.
Consider Your Options for Rugs on the Alabama Gulf Coast
There's a lot to think about, when it comes to choosing a rug:
Material:
Natural fibers, including such materials as wool, cotton, silk, jute, sisal, and hide, can be visually stunning. These rugs impart an aura of quality and organic beauty. They are often very durable, but they also cost more than synthetic fibers and may require professional cleaning. A rug made of natural fibers is typically considered more eco-friendly than one made of synthetic fibers.
On the other hand, modern synthetics can also be an attractive and affordable choice. These man-made materials are typically stain-resistant and very easy to care for, but in some cases, they may actually show wear and need replacing more quickly than a well-made, high-quality rug made from a natural material.
Take your lifestyle into account when selecting your rug material. Someone with young children who spill things or dogs prone muddy paws may want to choose easy-care synthetic materials. Perhaps you may want to reserve more luxurious natural fibers for lower-traffic areas of the home, such as your bedroom.
Pattern and Color:
Do you want your rug to blend harmoniously with the rest of your furnishings, or would you like something that contrasts and makes a stronger statement? It's rare that you'd want your rug to be an exact match to the color of your wall paint or wallpaper, but choosing something that feels coordinated and in tune with those colors can create a pleasing, balanced ambience.
To encourage a livelier mood in your space, consider bumping up the contrast between the rug and the rest of your color scheme—or go for a more boldly patterned rug. Patterns are also a smart choice for busy families, because they help mask the minor issues that often come as part of living with pets and children, such as small spills or the fact that the floor hasn't been vacuumed for a few days. There are patterned rugs for any aesthetic, whether you prefer traditional or modern, relaxed or sophisticated. Feel free to mix and match rugs to get just the right look!
Texture:
Rugs come in so many textures and piles! What do you prefer? Smooth and flat? Luxuriously thick and plush? Shaggy and fluffy? Slightly rough, rustic, and organic, like jute? Texture is visual as well as tactile. Strong texture can make a powerful statement from an interior design standpoint, but ultimately the right choice for you will depend on how you use the room. If you have children crawling around on the floor, you'll probably want something soft and comfortable for those little hands and feet, but if the space sees heavy traffic, you may want something that's durable, as well as quick and easy to vacuum. Take time to evaluate your lifestyle so you can make a choice that will be compatible with your needs.
Shape and Size:
Choosing an unusually shaped rug can be a way of injecting whimsy and fun into a room, but most of the time we want a rug that's in a practical size and shape—something that suits the space and how we use it. There are some general "rules" that interior designers usually follow when choosing a rug for a room. For instance, a rug should usually be sized and proportioned to fit the room without covering the entire floor, and a dining room rug should be large enough to extend past a pushed-back chair (so the legs of the chair won't catch on the rug's edge). There are many articles online that spell out these rules of thumb for how to select the ideal size of rug. These are only guidelines, of course, but they are often practical and offer a helpful starting point when narrowing down your field of choices.
