An empty room often calls for a piece to drive all the colors, textures, shapes, and style. An area rug can be that item that starts it all off.
Start by measuring your room so you can determine the right size. The perfect area rug should have at least the front legs of the furniture sitting on it. A better way would be to have all of the furniture on the rug, but depending on the room or layout, that may not be possible.
Area rugs can be like art and come down to personal choice. A more modern and minimalist room may call for a decadently textured rug that adds richness in color without a pattern. Rugs hand-knotted in India or Oriental patterns will blend well in either contemporary or traditional settings, while adding a defined design and color palette. The unexpected curves and geometries of a modern rug are perfect for monochromatic furnishings.
Finding the perfect rug can be difficult, but the showrooms at Hickory Furniture Mart will offer plenty of options. Be sure to bring pictures of the room or swatches from your furniture to match colors too. You’ll want to make sure your rug flows with the rest of your home to give you a well-designed feel throughout.
