Tired of your bedroom? Think your living room has lost its life? Wishing you could do some room makeovers but just don’t have the budget? It’s time to think of area rugs.

Bold, beautiful area rugs makeover a room


You may think an area rug is just an accessory. However, an area rug can be the focal point for a room – in fact changing the whole look and feel of the room. Area rugs may be the most versatile flooring product available. They define a space and add a colorful finishing touch. Area rugs can be installed on top of any other type of flooring: hardwood, luxury vinyl, stone tile, even wall-to-wall carpet. Add an area rug and you’ve got a quick and easy room makeover!

  4. Think outside the box. Area rugs come in all shapes and sizes. At Kermans we can even make you a custom area rug for the perfect fit. 
  5. Don’t stop with just one. Layer your area rugs for a more interesting look. Or consider adding two rugs in a large space to make the room look and feel very different.
