Cosy Floor Rugs That Will Make Your Winter Warmer

 

Cosy Floor Rugs That Will Make Your Winter Warmer

Rugs have this amazing ability to pull a room together and when you choose the right one, it’s something you can keep and love for years to come.  Making a choice about which rug to buy can be pretty overwhelming. To help you get started in your search for the right rug, here are 5 ideas on styling rugs at home plus some tips on what to look for when you’re shopping.

Spark interest in small spaces with a round rug

Sometimes rectangular rugs just don’t work. For awkwardly shaped spaces or small rooms where there’s not much floor space, round rugs work a treat.

You can place round rugs centrally to achieve harmonious symmetry or you can purposely style them off centre if it works with the layout of your room. Round rugs are great for making beautiful moments in the room such as a cosy reading nook or side table display.

Make the most of narrow spaces with a runner rug

Runner rugs are a staple in hallways and can make the space look longer and more elegant. But hallways aren’t the only place where runner rugs shine. Any narrow area in your home can benefit.

Kitchens are a great choice, especially if you have a long bench or island which chops up the floor space. A runner rug can help soften all the hard, smooth surfaces in the kitchen.

Bathrooms are another place where runner rugs can soften hard surfaces. This can be especially welcome in winter when you want to avoid cold tiles on your feet!

Add texture with a woven rug

If you’re wanting to make your home feel more cosy, interior designers will recommend introducing more texture into your home. Rugs are champions of texture and will make a huge difference to the feel of your home, especially if you choose a woven design.

The great thing about woven rugs is that you don’t have to go bold with colours to make an impact. If you care about the details, look for a hand-knotted wool rug for a unique and artistic touch.

Use modern patterns that will age well

If you’re looking to make a statement with your rug, go for a pattern that you’ll love for years to come.

The rug designs by Oh Happy Home are a great example of modern patterns and textures that will age well and still have a place in your home years from now.

As for colours, stick with neutral tones unless you have a strong preference for a particular colour. Neutrals like beige, cream, dusty pinks, and greys will work for you as your style evolves.

Layer your rugs for more depth

If you’re wanting to create even more texture and depth to your room, consider layering rugs. For example, choose a very large sisal rug as your base texture and then layer a softer, patterned rug on top where you will place your dining table and chairs or your coffee table.

Layering rugs is a great option for large open spaces or if you’re not a fan of your base flooring. It also means you can play more with a range of textures and patterns that you’re drawn to without having to choose just one!

Tips for choosing the perfect floor rug

Rugs can be quite the investment and with so many choices out there, it can be overwhelming to decide what would suit your home best.

Take your time to think through the different options and avoid following trends. Instead, pick something that you’ll still love in ten years from now.

You should also consider functionality and lifestyle. For example, don’t choose a white rug if you’ve got kids and pets running through the house with dirty feet.

Keep the following tips in mind when looking for your ideal rug:

Size

Make a careful assessment of the space where you want to put your rug. Generally larger spaces will need a larger rug, but it’s also possible to use several smaller rugs in an open area to help compartmentalise the space.

Smaller rugs tend to work well in small areas or as feature points such as at the end of your bed or below your bathroom sink. Remember to keep your eye out for where doors will need to open and close.

Material

You’ll find rugs made of almost every material under the sun. For the best feeling under your foot, go for natural materials like cotton, silk, and wool.

If you need something hardy that can cope with lots of traffic or the activities of kids and pets, consider a plant-based jute or sisal rug. These can also work well in outdoor entertainment spaces.

Patterned vs plain

Deciding whether to go with a patterned or plain rug comes down to personal preferences. A bold pattern can turn your rug into the centrepiece of the room and maybe the perfect complement to a neutral decor.

Plain rugs don’t have to be boring. Look for options that have interesting textures, such as woven or hand-knotted rugs. If you’re stuck between pattern and plain, opt for a neutral pattern in different shades of the same colour and you’ll get the best of both.

Cosy up with the right rug

It can take some time to find the right rug for your home, but once you’ve got it in place it’ll be worth the investment. The perfect Floor rugs Australia will tie your room together and help you feel more cosy, comfortable and inspired.
