Every home has unique factors to consider when choosing furniture and décor pieces, but there are a few essential guidelines to follow when selecting an area rug. 

3 Tips For Choosing The Right Area Rug

Select The Correct Size

Rug Victor NYIn almost all circumstances, area rugs should be no farther than two feet from the walls. When placing an area rug near a door, you have two options: It should match the width of the door or be slighter smaller.

Make It A Focal Point

An area rug serves as the foundation for the room’s décor. You can make it the focal point by selecting a rug with a bold pattern or vivid colors, especially if your furniture is in neutral hues like beige or gray. Even if you prefer subdued tones for your rug, you can make it stand out by selecting one with an interesting texture like a thick shag or intricately woven pattern. 

Anchor It With Furniture

An area rug that will be surrounded by furniture should be large enough to accommodate items being placed on top of it. The front legs of each piece of furniture, such as the sofa and chairs in the living room, should rest on the rug. There should be at least a few inches of rug on each side of the furniture; without this space, the rug will look too small.
