Most of the time when you
move into a new home or decide to remodel,
you forget one of the most important decorating
rules. Decorate from the ground up. Since
what sits on the floor is most important,
then maybe you should consider inexpensive
area rugs.
What is so great about inexpensive area
rugs?
Inexpensive area rugs allow you to have
the styles, designs, patterns, and colors
of the more expensive rugs without having
to pay the price. If you don't care that
you don't own the 'real thing' and would
rather have a cheaper flooring solution,
the inexpensive area rug should be your
first choice.
Many inexpensive or wholesale rugs are
cheaper because of the fibers they are made
of. Many cheaper rugs are not made of New
Zealand's finest 100% wool but rather made
with synthetic fibers such as olefin, polypropyline,
and nylon. What's really great is that these
fibers can last just as long and don't cost
as much.
There are a few items to consider when
buying an area rug for your floors. What
are you going to use the rug for? Is it
going in the kitchen, living room, outside,
dining room, bedroom, or maybe even the
playroom? This is something you need to
decide. Obviously, if you are going to buy
a rug that will endure much use, such as
in a playroom, you don't need the world's
finest.
Secondly, how big does the rug need to
be? Most rugs don't need to cover the entire
floor to add to the look of the room. Most
of the time a simple 4' x 6' rug will do
great. If you do want to cover the entire
floor, be sure to leave at least one to
two feet between the rug and the wall. This
look much better.
Thirdly, what colors or patterns do you
want in the rug? You might want to get a
rug that draws attention to itself. These
rugs need to have sophisticated patterns
and bright colors. On the other hand you
might want a rug to draw attention towards
another piece of furniture or object in
the room. These rugs need to be simpler
and match the room's overall look. Don't
be afraid though to mix and match rug styles
with the rest of the room. For example,
modern rugs with their bright colors and
outrageous designs can go well with a traditional
look. All in all make sure that the colors
and patterns match and you will be fine.
Last of all, don't forget the rug pad.
Rug pads will add a bit of cushion while
holding the rug in place so it won't slip
beneath you. The best part about the rug
pad is that it makes the rug easier to vacuum.
Remember, inexpensive area rugs are a great
solution to give your rooms a new look.
Look for them the next time you are shopping
or surfing the net and will be surprised
at the amazing rugs you can buy for such
cheap prices.
