Area Rug Layouts

An area rug is a large rug that is several feet wide. Some are very large and can cover an entire room. Others are smaller in size and can help separate one space from another. An area rug can be placed in front of a fireplace to form a focal point in the room. An area rug can also be placed under a couch and chairs to define a seating arrangement.

Small Rug Layouts

A smaller rug can help add function to a space. For example, small rugs are often featured in bathrooms, laundry rooms and in front of a kitchen sink. They can also be used as hall runners to add comfort and color in a small space.

An area rug or a small rug can help add a comfortable and decorative design to any room.  Rugs also help the overll decor in a room come together.

Designating Space

A great way to use a rug in the home is to create a certain space with them. For example, a rug underneath the dining table in a corresponding shape can help to reinforce the idea that this area is for eating. Or, you might want to place a large rug in the hallway, mirroring the shape of the walking space.

Cover Imperfections

A rug is also a great way to cover up any imperfections on the flooring. A large carpet stain or dent in hardwood floors can be easily hidden with an appropriate rug. Of course, be sure to choose a rug that matches the rest of the home and decor, as well as the flooring underneath it.

Along with designating space and covering up imperfections, rugs can also be used for warmth, insulation or even decoration. When it’s time for new carpet, DirectBuy can help you save up to 50% of beautiful area rugs of all shapes and sizes.

Freshen Up the Kitchen Cabinets

Upgrade to wooden kitchen cabinets, if you don’t have them already. If you do have existing wood cabinetry,  refurbish it for a fresh look. Consider updating the hardware on your cabinets and drawers also. A small change like this can make a big difference.

Modernize Your Kitchen Flooring

Select tile or wood flooring. If you have a limited budget, consider laminate flooring that looks like tile or wood. Laminate is also a good option if you have young children and/or pets. Add a throw rug in front of the sink to protect the floor from spills.

Area Carpeting to Cover Existing Flooring

However, purchasing expensive area rugs, particularly if you are renting, can be can be quite an expensive option.  Ordering area carpeting is much cheaper than rugs and can be tailored to your individual needs at a fraction of the cost.

Pet Owners and Area Carpeting

Permanent wall-to-wall carpeting is also a problem for pet owners. Accidents happen, and there is only so much you can do with carpet cleaners, paper towels, and steam machines before the smell and staining ruins your carpets and the sub-floor beneath it.

However, with area carpeting, you can roll it up, take it outside, and scrub it down or easily have it steam-cleaned. Once it’s dry, bring it back inside and lay it back down.

Area carpeting is a great option for  anyone who needs the flexibility of rugs without the huge price tag. You can often find this type of carpeting much more affordable than other types of flooring options.

Deciding On A Flooring Style

When choosing flooring for your home, it is important to keep in mind traffic levels and how easy or difficult a flooring style will be to clean as well as color, texture or pattern choices. Plush shag carpet is probably not a smart choice for a family with small children or a myriad of pets. Short fibered choices are a wiser choice due to easier cleanup of everyday traffic and spills.

Choosing A Color For Your Flooring

Such a wide variety of flooring choices and colors is offered today it may be difficult to choose one perfect for your home. Furniture choice is a good way to help decide color or pattern in a floor.

Of course, slight patterns will help camouflage some traffic wear but may be too loud with furniture that is also patterned. Neutral colors will allow you to change furniture as you wish without having to make a change in flooring as well.

Add a unique touch to your decor with home accessories.  Your choice in area rugs, artwork, mirrors or sculptures add a personal touch that will make your home a reflection of your individuality.

Artwork

Buying original art can be expensive. However, reproductions in prints and posters can be relatively inexpensive ways to decorate without breaking the budget. They can be custom-framed to match your decor.

Area Rugs

Area rugs are another wonderful accessory. In an open-plan home or apartment, several area rugs can define each of the living spaces. Area rugs can also add color and warmth to a neutral room without being overpowering like wall-to-wall carpet.

Adding Dimension

Adding dimension and depth to a room can be accomplished using accessories. Mirrors can make a room feel bigger, and they also add a little sparkle. If a room feels flat, sculptures can be added to give the room texture.
