They can also add comfort to a space. A rug often helps to incorporate all of the colors of a space to <a title="form a design" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">form a design</a> that is well balanced. How you layout your rug will depend on whether it is an area rug or a small rug.</p>
<h3>Area Rug Layouts</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Small Rug Layouts</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

If placed somewhere appropriate, it can significantly elevate the <a title="look of the room" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">look of the room</a>. However, if placed somewhere inappropriate, it might detract from the look and feel of the space.</p>
<h3>Designating Space</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Cover Imperfections</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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, <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> can help you save up to 50% of beautiful area rugs of all shapes and sizes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.directbuyarticles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Area-Rugs-Direct-Buy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3005" title="Area Rugs" src="http://www.directbuyarticles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Area-Rugs-Direct-Buy-289x300.jpg" alt="Area Rugs Come in Various Styles" width="176" height="183" /></a>When buying carpet, it&#8217;s advisable to purchase the highest quality that your budget allows. It&#8217;s also important that you compare the durability and care instructions in regard to the type of use and the amount of traffic the carpeted area will receive. Once you invested in <a title="quality carpeting" href="http://www.directdiscountcarpet.com/" target="_blank">quality carpeting</a>, you can add area rugs to a room to extend it beautiful appearance.</p>
<h3>Frugality</h3>
<p>In well used living rooms where pets and kids play, there is always the possibility of stains and spills. It is much less expensive to replace an area rug than carpet. From a more decorative standpoint, it is more economically feasible to change area rugs according to seasons, holidays, or a new decor scheme than it is to replace carpeting.</p>
<h3>High Traffic</h3>
<p>Hallways and foyers usually receive a lot of traffic. Adding an area rug in these locations can extend the life of the any floor covering.</p>
<p>Adding an area rug to a carpeted floor actually increases the softness underfoot and adds an extra element of insulation to the floor. Area rugs placed beside of the bed or in a child&#8217;s room not only protect the carpet, they provide an extra amount of comfort.</p>
<p>At <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> you will find beautiful selection in brand-name <a title="carpets" href="http://www.directdiscountcarpet.com/" target="_blank">carpets</a>.  Find the right <a title="style" href="http://www.directdiscountcarpet.com/styles.aspx" target="_blank">style</a> of carpet for any room in your home at up to 50% off retail.</p>

<p>Here are some ideas for rug placement:</p>
<h3>In the Bedroom</h3>
<p>No matter how nice your <a title="hardwood floors" href="http://www.directdiscounthardwood.com/" target="_blank">hardwood floors</a> look, an area rug can provide the much needed warmth on your feet when you first get out of bed on a chilly morning!</p>
<h3>Living Room</h3>
<p>The most popular place to put an area rug is generally the living room or den. It serves as a beautiful accent piece, and can bring in colors or patterns to an otherwise plain space.</p>
<h3>Children&#8217;s Room</h3>
<p>Whether in a play room or a <a title="bedroom" href="http://www.directbedroomfurniture.com/" target="_blank">bedroom</a>, the carpeting in a child&#8217;s room can quickly become dirty or even destroyed. Cover it up with a rug to protect the carpet and prevent replacements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.directbuyarticles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/hardwood-flooring.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2033" title="hardwood flooring" src="http://www.directbuyarticles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/hardwood-flooring.jpg" alt="Hardwood Flooring" width="242" height="298" /></a>Hardwood floors are beautiful. They come in a variety of wood species and stain colors, which can be customized to each individual project. However beautiful they may be, though, <a title="wood floors" href="http://www.directdiscounthardwood.com/" target="_blank">wood floors </a>can become scratched and damaged. How can you protect them from damage?</p>
<h3>Area Rugs</h3>
<p>Area rugs protect wood floors from some damage, although they are typically not large enough to cover an entire room. Protect your floors from heavy traffic by placing throw <a title="rugs" href="http://www.directdiscountcarpet.com/" target="_blank">rugs</a> and floor runners near doorways and anywhere there is a lot of foot traffic. Avoid rugs with rubber, as they may discolor the floors.</p>
<h3>Felt Pads to Prevent Floor Scratching</h3>
<p>Felt pads are another option for protecting wood <a title="floors" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/flooring.aspx" target="_blank">floors</a> from scratching and gouging. Place them under the feet of any furniture that may scratch the floor, particularly <a title="dining room" href="http://www.directdiningfurniture.com/" target="_blank">dining room</a> chairs. They are moved back and forth so often that the finish can become worn and scratched in very little time.</p>
<p>Protect your hardwood flooring from damage with the use of area rugs, throw rugs, and felt pads. Other ways you can keep them from becoming worn and scratched include: sweeping the floors often, so debris cannot scratch the finish, and asking guests to remove their shoes at the door.</p>
<p><a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> offers a wide selection of  <a title="flooring" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/flooring.aspx" target="_blank">flooring</a> materials such as <a title="hardwood" href="http://www.directdiscounthardwood.com/" target="_blank">hardwood</a> and <a title="tile" href="http://www.discounttiledirect.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">tile</a> .

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While wall-to-wall <a title="carpeting" href="http://www.directdiscountcarpet.com/" target="_blank">carpeting</a> and area rugs are both quite popular, did you know that area carpeting is another option? Normal carpeting is simply whip-stitched at the edges instead of being fastened to the floor to create area carpeting. Area carpets are perfect for renters, pet owners, and anyone who likes or needs carpeting.</p>
<h3>Area Carpeting to Cover Existing Flooring</h3>
<p>If the carpet, <a title="tile" href="http://www.discounttiledirect.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">tile</a>, or <a title="hardwood floors" href="http://www.directdiscounthardwood.com/" target="_blank">hardwood floors</a> you currently have no longer appeal to you, changing them out might not be an option. 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.</p>
<h3>Pet Owners and Area Carpeting</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>However, with area carpeting, you can roll it up, take it outside, and scrub it down or easily have it <a title="steam-cleaned" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/appliances.aspx" target="_blank">steam-cleaned</a>. Once it&#8217;s dry, bring it back inside and lay it back down.</p>
<p>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 <a title="flooring options" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/flooring.aspx" target="_blank">flooring options</a>.</p>
<p>When it’s time for new carpet, <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> can help you save up to 50% off on brand-name <a href="http://www.directdiscountcarpet.com/">carpet</a> of all types.</p>
