Tips on Decorating with Contemporary Rugs

Decorating with contemporary area rugs is one of the easiest ways to revitalize, update, improve and beautify any room in your home. Contemporary rugs can turn a drab room into one full of color. Or you can use contemporary rugs to create a focal point or define an area of interest. Contemporary rugs can add warmth to otherwise cold tiles, stone or concrete floors. Contemporary rugs will protect hardwood floor or wall-to-wall carpeting. And the right contemporary rugs can tie together all of a room’s décor elements.

And the best place to shop for contemporary rugs is Rugs Direct. We are the nation’s leading source for area rugs and offer you thousands of choices in a wide variety of styles, colors, shapes and themes. We provide free shipping to the contiguous United States, a 30-day risk-free in-home trial and an incredible 150% price match policy. At Rugs Direct we guarantee your satisfaction! So when you are in the market for contemporary rugs, always think of Rugs Direct.

Contemporary rugs are extremely versatile and can serve numerous purposes in your home. Whether you are decorating your living room, family room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway or patio, there’s a contemporary rug that is right for you. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, which is normally best kept rather neutral, contemporary rugs can bring colorful patterns and designs into your room without overwhelming it. Plus, unlike carpeting, contemporary rugs can be changed with the seasons – or your mood – and are yours to keep should you move.

If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors in your home, contemporary rugs are the perfect compliment. With a little care your wooden floors will last forever. They don’t collect allergens the way carpet does, are easy to clean and provide a perfect background for a beautiful contemporary rug. But even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting you can still use contemporary rugs. Simply place them in high-traffic areas to protect the carpet or use contemporary rugs to tie a seating area together. You can even put contemporary rugs on the walls to create an interesting display!

The Importance of Using a Quality Rug Pad

Experts in the home décor industry all agree that every contemporary area rug requires a good-quality rug pad underneath it. Not only does this promote safety in your home by preventing the rug from slipping, it also increases the life of your contemporary rug and makes it much easier to regularly vacuum. Never use tape or adhesive to anchor a contemporary rug to your floor or carpeting. This can easily damage both the floor and rug. 

The Miracle Hold Plus rug pads we sell at Rugs Direct come with a 10-year warranty. They are guaranteed not to mar, stain or discolor the floor and to hold your contemporary rug securely in place. They come in a variety of sizes and are reversible for use on either bare floors or carpeting. Also, most contemporary rugs manufacturers require that their product be placed on top of a quality rug pad in order to validate their warranty against defects in workmanship.

Remember, every contemporary rug needs a pad. Click here to see the high-quality, 10-year Miracle Hold Plus rug pads available from Rugs Direct.

Useful Information About Contemporary Rugs

Contemporary rugs blur the distinction between art and design. These rugs are truly works of art for the floor. Contemporary rugs can find a place throughout the home or office. These rugs can soften the look of wooden or stone floors, provide comfort in a conservatory and bring a splash of pattern or color or unifying feature to an otherwise subdued decorating scheme. Contemporary rugs can work magic!

Contemporary rugs are a fantastic element around which to create a room’s design. If you have the opportunity, you may want to start with a totally empty room, choose a contemporary rug first, then paint or paper the walls in colors found in the rug. Choose furniture that will enhance the colors or patterns found in your contemporary rug. A contemporary rug with a bold, overall design can be the focal point of a room, so consider choosing a chair or sofa in solid or subdued patterns.

There are also contemporary rugs that fit into an established decor. If you already have your furniture, choose a rug that picks up the colors of your furnishing patterns. Patterns can be mixed if they are coordinated by color. Contemporary rugs can lend warmth, life, color and vibrancy to any area or room within a home or business setting. A light-colored contemporary rug makes a room look more spacious, while deeper colors help make a room feel cozy. A contemporary rug can also add a feeling of luxury when used with wall-to-wall carpets. Elements of a contemporary rug’s design can be further incorporated into the overall design scheme.

One last tip when it comes to decorating with a contemporary rug: Choose a size that will fit in more than one direction so that the furniture can be rearranged if necessary.
