How Area Rugs Can Tie Together Different Elements of Your Interior Design

 Area Rugs can transform a room, providing warmth and comfort underfoot and defining a space by breaking up the flow of a room or drawing the furniture into a center point. They can also add color, pattern, texture and style. And for renters, they’re a great way to personalize a home without having to commit to wall-to-wall carpeting.

However, to make a rug look its best, it’s important to consider the size and layout of the room when choosing the right one. Size matters for an on-trend look – you want your rug to be big enough to allow the furniture to sit comfortably on it, and leave a good margin all around it (i.e., about 8 inches).

Just make sure to vacuum often and rotate them periodically to prevent fading from direct sunlight. Delicate vintage or antique rugs can be protected from vacuuming with a piece of nylon screen ($5, Hobby Lobby) or tied over the vacuum attachment, and should be professionally cleaned at least once a year to remove soil and stains.
