Any room can be made more comfortable and be given focus by the use of a beautiful area rug. Although choosing the correct rug can be overwhelming because of the vast variety of rugs available. There are a few easy ways to make the whole area rugs shopping process simple and fun.
At first you should consider your current furniture and decorations and find a style that you like and will mesh together with them. There are many styles of area rugs, but sometimes it is hard to find one that goes with both your antique coffee table from your grandma and the modern furniture that you love. One style of rug that I believe is often overlooked these days is the Gabbeh.
Gabbehs are tribal rugs that are knotted and made in Iran. These rugs wonderfully cross the borders from traditional oriental styles rugs and blend well with modern furniture.
Matching the rug to the modern furniture is where some people have the greatest difficulty. I suggest that in any room you first get the rug first if possible and then build the room from there. Knowing the difficulties of judging the colors of your home while in the store is one thing I learned after working for some years selling high quality Persian rugs. Therefore it is always a good idea to work with a dealer that you trust and will allow you to take the rugs you are considering home for a trail period.The reason that the colors are so difficult judge is because knotted rugs made of wool or silk change color drastically depending on the intensity and angles of light.Also one trick is to turn the rug around in the space, because the direction the fibers lay can make a big difference in the color and might help make it match the room better. At our store we would take the credit card number as security, so if our clients decided they liked the rug they could just call us and we would complete the transaction over the phone.
It can be really fun finding the best area rug if you enjoy shopping and finding the perfect fit to match your modern coffee table and coffee table Just remember to try it out at home if possible before making a major investment, because rugs are like beautiful artwork for your floor and you want to make sure itÆs the one you want to live with for years to come.
