Choosing the Right Area Rug

Do you want it to be the focal point? Choose an area rug with bold, bright, and contrasting colors. You might even consider making a dramatic statement with a round area rug.

Do you want it to define a furniture grouping? If so, make sure that it will be large enough so that all pieces within the focal area partially or completely touch the rug. In this way the area rug defines the conversational area by creating a tiny island.

Do you want to use it to enhance the room's color scheme? A rug that captures the room's dominant or accent colors will create an interior design element that completes the look of your room.
