Look around the room you want to put a rug in. You may notice a color or pattern already prominent in the space. When it comes time to pick a solid color area rug, you might want to pick one that goes along with the existing color palette or pattern in that room. You can stray a little from the color pattern if you want your rug to catch the eye of visitors, but sticking to a particular style tends to make a room visually pleasing. If you’re still unsure on how to pull your room together with an area rug, our team of design experts are ready to help. To get started, schedule a consultation appointment with one of our skilled design associates today.
Our design experts say a rug can be darker or lighter than your sofa; it is all based on your personal design preferences. The contrast between your solid area rug and sofa helps draw attention to the room's focal points. If the floor or carpet that is going to be under the rug already matches the sofa, it is in your best interest to select a rug color that will separate the two.
While your throw pillows do not have to match your rug color, coordinating the two is a good idea. You can coordinate your throw pillows and rugs by contrasting colors, matching color schemes, or matching themes and patterns.
While an attractive area rug is always a good place to start, you're not in this alone. At Bassett, our design consultants take great pride in their ability to work with homeowners to create the home of their dreams. That means providing expert assistance and aesthetic or practical guidance with area rugs, furniture, and wall decor.
