Area Rugs - Cover Those Bare Floors

Practically every room in your home can benefit from an area rug. This “accessory” is so central to making a room look fully furnished. An area rug breaks up that long expanse of floor that seems so hard to fill.
Wall-to-wall carpeting, tile or wood flooring may be covered with an area rug. Be sure to get a rug pad to keep your area rug from traveling across the floor.
In the living room an area rug should be used to arrange your furniture around as a conversation grouping. Center the rug, put a center table or large ottoman in the middle, and then arrange your sofa, chairs and end tables around the edge of the rug. Usually at least a 5 x 7 size or larger is best for a living room.
I always suggest centering a dining table over an area rug. Not only does it protect the usually light-colored carpeting underneath, but it “anchors” the table and chairs giving the dining room a furnished look. It s also more quiet on wood or tile for those clattering chair legs as everyone gets up and down.
A long runner rug is so elegant in the kitchen compared to a tiny sink-sized floor mat.
Any bedroom looks wonderful with a large area rug positioned under the bed and out into the room.
A reading corner can be easily arranged with a medium-sized area rug, a large comfortable chair, a classic accent table and a beautiful lamp.
Area rugs delineate the space for you so that the flow of the furniture arrangement looks and feels proper. There are so many colors, styles and patterns to choose from that selecting an area rug may seem daunting. However, focus on a rug that has colors that coordinate with your wall color, floor color, large furniture and drapes.
Area rugs are a great investment as they can be switched around the house and always go with you when you move.
