Area Rugs Online Can Offer The Best Buys

By Daniel McDonald


Anyone looking to make a simple improvement to a space can do a number of small things to make a big difference. For the person with little expense to spare, it helps to choose a large object and pick complementary colors. Though some may prefer a monochromatic, or single color, look for their space, a combination can liven things up. One can find inspiration when they look at area rugs online or in person.

Most people do not see a rug as being decorative but there are so many colors and patterns that can give life to any space. Additionally, it can protect existing carpet from stains or flooring from scratches. Landlords like to see these in a home because it saves them from having to replace or repair floors when a tenant moves out. Anyone with a lot of foot traffic should get the largest one possible.

What many do not realize is that the rug may also inspire an original theme. If there are patterns or a multitude of colors, a secondary color may be used for accents or other furnishings in the space. A good example of this is an area rug with royal blue, gold, and deep purple may want to add gold accents throughout. The purple may be used sparingly.

When there are colors, or a fun pattern, there are many approaches to take. A lot of these are not expensive and can be done in little time. Matching curtains or accents that are eye level could be next. There are many books and tutorials that show how to use spray paint or fabric to convert small objects so they match a theme.

Once a person is satisfied with their new creation, they may want to take things further. A couch or large chair could be need of a change but buying a new one may be out of the question. One option would be to get it reupholstered or replace cushion foam for better support. By adding a cover, it has the potential to make a room look it was renovated by a professional.

Most people will choose a black color because it is hard to stain and matches almost any home decor. However, navy, chocolate, or even dark grey, can serve a similar purpose without being so extreme. The only issue with darker colors is that these can make an entire room look dark, or smaller.

An advantage to going online is that anyone can browse at their leisure and possibly request swatches. Sometimes specialty storefronts may be a little more confrontational, or expensive, for the person that is on a budget. Though some discount retailers often do not have salespeople on commission, the selection is usually limited. Few also offer delivery and installation services.

Anyone looking for a rug should choose quality first and looks second. A reputable store will only carry the finest materials in the their selection and not compromise value for a quick sale. It works out in the long run because no one wants to replace a cheap rug every few months. When it comes time for regular cleaning, a professional can visit any location and perform necessary services in little time.
