A wave area rug can highlight your room’s decor by connecting the rug’s theme to the overarching theme and style of the room. When you focus on creating a room that is cohesive all the way around, you don’t have to worry about a rug detracting from the room’s decor; instead, you’ll have the joy of seeing the rug accentuate it by furthering the design.
When you’re decorating with a wave area rug, you can go as bold or as subtle as you want with the theming. Your rug can feature hyper-realistic waves, lines and curves that are reminiscent of the ocean, or something abstract that fits into the theme with faint similarities in design and color palette. Your home is your own, and with wave area rugs, you can truly create your personal style in your house.
Since there are so many options out there for wave rugs, you may be wondering how to choose one that best suits your room. If you start off by considering these key topics, you’ll be able to narrow your search and find your perfect rug.
Position: It’s crucial to consider your room’s layout from the get-go. Each room and house are unique, so take these general ideas as guidelines to get you started.
Living Room: To establish your main seating area, center a rug in the middle of the space. You have the choice of how much you layer it with the furniture, but the most common layouts are to set the rug in front of the seats, beneath the front legs, or about halfway under the chairs. Alternatively, you can use a small wave rug to establish a spot for more intimate conversation, morning coffee, or some other purpose.
Dining Room: When you add a rug to your dining room, center it beneath the table for a balanced and practical look. Also measure it out so you have an extra two-three feet of rug on each side so the chairs can be comfortably pushed in and out on the rug.
Bedroom: If you want your bed to be the main focal point of the room, adding a rug beneath it can help you accomplish that goal. Layer the rug all the way beneath the bed, under the bottom two-thirds of it, or closer to the foot of the bed. If your bed is pushed off to one side, try using a large wave area rug in the middle of the room to provide visual interest there and tie the whole room together.
Kitchen: Small rugs can make a big statement in the kitchen. 2x3 or 3x5 rugs are recommended to go in front of a sink, stove, or any other place where you tend to be stationary. Another idea is to use a wave runner rug to cover those same spaces and add an extra layer of comfort and style.
Bathroom: 2x3 and 3x5 wave rugs are both beautiful and practical when they’re placed by a tub, shower, or sink. If that’s not enough for you, then you can use a wave runner rug in front of a double vanity or in a narrow walkway.
Outdoors: Wave rugs are a great option for dressing up your deck, patio, or other outdoor space! Look back at similar indoor spaces for layout inspiration.
Shape/Size: Once you know your layout, you can finalize the size and shape of your rug. Both of these aspects depend on the space of your room, where you situate the rug, and how much it overlaps with the furniture. The key in choosing the size and shape is to focus on what will make the room appear visually balanced. Don’t be afraid to take out that measuring tape and space out where the rug will go and plot out what shape would look best in your layout.
Pattern: Coastal themed or inspired homes come in a variety of styles, so naturally wave themed rugs cover a wide territory too. You can find patterns that use picturesque waves, hand drawn waves, slight curves, swirls, and plenty of other designs. You can even find series and collections done by designers that fit into the category such as Momeni rug's new wave collection. Look through all the options, consider your existing decor, and find a rug that thematically pairs well with the decorations and uses similar imagery and motifs.
Color: Another way to connect the rug to the decor is through color. Obviously the most common colors for wave area rugs are shades of blue and turquoise, but there are other colors to choose from and various shades of blue to choose from. Your rug’s color palette should use similar colors to the rest of the room and convey the same tone so that your home feels consistent and intentionally designed.
