Decorating With Rugs

Buying Persian rugs or plain pastel rugs, either way, using rugs to help decorate a room can be the best solution to making your space beautiful.  The quality and appearance of area rugs is usually determined by the type of material.  Your main choices are synthetic and natural fibers.  Synthetic fibers tend to be stronger rugs while natural fibers are more environmentally friendly.  Acrylic area rugs come in a wide variety of colors and are fade and stain-resistant.  They are good for kitchen areas as they are suited to hot and humid areas.  Polypropylene area rugs are one of the most popular as they are very durable and stain-resistant.

Sometimes rugs are used for padding under home furnishings; this is a waste of a rug.  An alternative would be to place the rug on the floor in the middle of the room and let the kids play with their toys there. 

The designs on your rug should complement the designs in your room.  You want everything to blend together seamlessly.  Match your room to the dominant colors in your room.  If you are uncertain of what color to go with choose a red rug and decorate around the rug.
