A few different styles of white rugs

October 11, 2010 · Posted in Home Accessories · Comment 

Redecorating a room can be a fun project to undertake. There are many items you can select to change the atmosphere of a particular room, and among these items you will find several styles of area rugs. These are smaller than full size room carpets and come in a variety of shapes and colors. If you are redesigning a room to have a contemporary look you could choose a white rug as the accent piece. This works well when placed on a hard floor surface such as wood. An area rug that is white can be round, square or a free form shape.

For modern rooms a shag style of carpet fiber is also a popular choice. This adds a touch of warmth to rooms that usually have very stark and bare designs to them. The fibers used in creating today’s rugs can be made from synthetic materials. These man made fibers can be very soft and luxurious to the touch, which makes them comfortable for walking or sitting on. There are also many rugs constructed from natural fibers such as jute or wool. These are usually hand woven rugs that may have a particular style to them.

The rugs colored in white can be found in these natural fibers as well as the synthetic ones. A white wool rug could be placed in a formal room such as a living room or parlor. These are generally harder to clean than the man made fibers, but are more eco-friendly designs. A small size white carpet or mat can also be placed in a porch area or on a deck or patio. These are generally created as indoor outdoor rugs and are made to resist the effects of weather. Whatever decor you are using for your room, you will have no problem finding a rug to match it.

If you are seeking to inject some color and liven up any room in your house, whether it be a bedroom, living room, dining room or kitchen, an accent rug may be a great choice. Accent rugs are available in a wide range of colors, sizes, shapes and designs, and can be purchased to fit any budget. If you are ready to add a rug to your decorating scheme, here are some options to consider.

1. Decide what you need & what you want

First, take a look at the furniture and decorations you currently have in the room to see what design and color of rug will work best. If you are decorating a little girl’s room, or a cozy romantic guest bedroom, a pink rug may be the perfect choice. If you are working on your dining area or living room, and are going for cool, relaxed tones, try a green rug. Color is the first thing you should decide on, and then move on to patterns. Do you a want a solid colored rug for more drama, or a striped or polka dotted one for more pizzazz? Chevron stripes are very popular and modern, or you could pick a traditional oriental rug with accent colors to match your furnishings.

2. Shape, size and Pile

Now that you know what color and design you are looking for, it is a good time to determine the size, shape and pile of the rug you will be purchasing. Accent rugs are generally smaller than an area rug and used to accent a space. They are perfect in front of a door way or chair. Most accent rugs are rectangular, but you can also find oval, square, circular and irregular shapes. Finally, determine whether a high pile or low pile will work best for your family and lifestyle.

3. Research and Purchase!

Now that you have made a decision it is time to do your homework. Try starting online to research quality and price points. Because you have already narrowed down the color, shape, size and design you want, you will be able to quickly find rugs online that match your look. Once you have done the research, you can either order the rug of your dreams online or go to the store to get it. Some good places to pick up your rug are home improvement stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s), big box chains (Target) or discount department stores (JC Penny, Kohl’s.) These stores also have websites where you can purchase an accent rug.

Enjoy the splash of color and personality your new accent rug brings to your home. It will look beautiful!
