Home decorating is fun and after its completion is very fulfilling! The road to fulfillment however is a different story. Although the blessing of countless home decor ideas and alternatives are overwhelmingly good (homeowners have more options), they can also be confusing. Where to start? What to implement? What's the best among the rest?
Take for instance the fusion of ethnic home design influences. In many eastern European countries, wood is a prime material. It's not uncommon to see most Russian and Polish homes with wood carvings and furnishings. This style is fast becoming adapted in the United States.
Parquet flooring is one specific home design trend that is just impossible to overlook. The demand for this flooring is so big that homeowners who want great style will choose parquet flooring. Match it with a beautiful area rug and the look is complete.
A trend in home design is the minimalist approach. Few furnishings, simple and light colors, monotonous color scheme and sleek, light pieces are the vogue. This opens the door for area rugs to prove their beauty and functionality. They give the flawless finish to a room's interior while offering an ambiance of warmth and coziness to a living space.
A parquet floor for instance, looks great with a shag rug. The sleek look of the floor is also emphasized with a similarly clean looking color of the rug such as white, beige and cream.
Alternatively, contrasting parquet flooring with a deeper or darker shade also has a noticeable effect on the room. A lighter-hued parquet floor will be enhanced with a dark area rug. Deep wood parquet will look more striking with a bright-colored area rug.
The shape of rug is the next consideration. As a general rule of thumb, circular rugs are more suited to a smaller style, say between two or three meters in diameter. The only time a larger, circular shape rug would look good is if the room size is immense.
The best shape for a larger rug in a medium to large size room is rectangular or oval. But bear in mind that you must have the open space in which to be able to display the rug for maximum effect. You must avoid standing anything on the rug and obscuring a full uninterrupted view.
Area rugs are commonly used as a furniture accent. Complement the rug's shape with that of the furniture piece. For instance, a round coffee table and a round rug are a match made in heaven, and a rectangular long dining table is suited to a rectangular long rug too that can accommodate the length of the table and all its chairs.
Rugs are the perfect adornment to complete the look of any room, but you must choose your color and size combinations with care.
