THE IMPORTANCE OF RUGS & HOW TO USE THEM –UPDATED

VISUAL PATHWAYS

First up, hallways. They can have the tendency to be dead, unwelcoming spaces. So what better way to liven them up than with a rug. One of the reasons you may want to consider a rug in your hallway is that they can create a visual pathway that draws the eye to any connecting rooms.

CONNECT SPACES

By placing similar style/coloured rugs in connecting spaces, you unify and create a visual connection between the two rooms. This, in turn, makes each room flow from one to the next as your eye is drawn from one space to the next. This works particularly well in neutral and/or minimal spaces.

SOUND ABSORPTION

Rugs are the perfect solution to sound absorption especially if you have hardwood/tiled floors in your homes and great for flats/apartments.

CREATE A FEATURE

Angling and layering a duplicate rug on top of another has made a feature out of the seating area in this open-plan space.

AS ART

Rugs have become works of art in their own right and if you happen to come across one that’s just too good to step on, then maybe consider hanging it on your walls.

REINFORCE YOUR DESIGN SCHEME

When choosing your rug look towards other elements of your design scheme, such as colour. If the rug you choose has an element of your design scheme, it will help reinforce, and create a more cohesive feel and look to your room.

Rugs really are essential to creating a well-dressed room.
