- Color matters: Pair up a bold overall rug design with furniture in solid or subdued patterns to create a focal point. Light-colored rugs make a room seem larger, whereas deeper colors create a cozy look. Bring a furniture cushion, swatch or sample with you to match a favorite color.
- Reconsider machine-made rugs: They give you much of the look of hand-knotted rugs at a lower price, with a manufacturer’s warranty that runs 15-20 years.
- Shapes: Look beyond the traditional rectangular shapes to round, square and custom options.
- Padding: At Kerman’s, we offer the industry’s best rug pad. It absorbs the impact of feet and noise while it reduces wear and tear and eases cleaning.
- Living rooms, great rooms, family rooms: Decide whether you want a room-sized rug or several smaller rugs. Create cozy conversation areas with smaller pieces.
- Dining rooms, breakfast rooms: Choose a rug that’s about 2′ wider on each side of a dining room table to allow chairs to remain on the rug when they are pulled out.
- Bedrooms: Either use one room-sized rug or several smaller rugs around the bed. A room-sized rug should be large enough that you can get out of bed and remain on the rug for one or two steps. With multiple rugs, place one on each side of the bed and one at the end. With two beds, center a rug between them.
Before you buy
- Measure your room and the area you want to cover. To make the room look larger, leave a border of flooring around the perimeter.
- Consider the type of room and where you plan to place your furniture.
- Keep the rug proportional to the room.
