Ideas & Advice
Rugs are beautiful accents that can be used in nearly any room of the home. In particular, accent rugs hold great potential in defining unique spaces and showing off your personal style. But what exactly are accent rugs? Do they differ from other types of rugs? There are some subtle differences, but at the end of the day, both accent rugs and larger area rugs are wonderful additions to any home.
Accent rugs are typically placed to be more aesthetically pleasing as opposed to highly utilized. They tend to serve as works of art to accent smaller areas or specific pieces of decor. For example, if you have a separate seating area in your living room, then you may use an accent rug to enhance that smaller space. Accent rugs are often specifically tailored to suit special spaces like this in order to highlight a unique element of the home.
Accent rugs are full or potential. Aside from highlighting different color palettes, textures, and patterns, these rugs can be placed in so many different ways throughout the home. They can be used to create a key focal point in a living room, decorate a separate space in the bedroom, or serve some other function. Since these rugs are so diverse in style and placement, they are incredibly versatile.
There are many ways to place an accent rug. If you are placing the rug in a well furnished room like a living room, bedroom, or office, then it’s wise to have some overlap between the rug and furniture. Having the key furniture on top of the rug helps the space feel wholly tied together and cohesive.
In other cases, the rug can be balanced in the room’s layout. Place the rug in a cozy corner to complement a reading corner, center a rug in the middle of an entryway, or place the rug somewhere else. Each home is unique in its furnishings and layout, which means that you have the freedom to place your rug where it best suits your one of a kind space.
When you’re looking at accent rugs, you’ll notice plenty of options with styles and materials. Each material has its own set of pros and cons in terms of durability, comfort, texture, and aesthetic. Similarly, different patterns color palettes each convey their own tone and style. Since there are so many options available, you can easily choose an accent rug that perfectly suits your aesthetic.
An accent rug can have a big impact on the room’s overall appeal. Visually, it can create balance by complementing nearby furniture and accents. Another way rugs improve visual appeal is by adding a unique or supporting accent to the room. If an accent rug introduces a unique design, compelling pattern, texture, or color to the space, then you can create a more visually appealing, beautiful space that is unique to your home.

Oftentimes, accent rugs coordinate with nearby furniture or decorations. Your rug could feature a similar color to other fabrics and chairs to create a streamlined design, or your rug could go bold and introduce a new yet flattering color. Looking at your room’s furniture, decor, and general color palette will help you choose an accent rug that coordinates well with your room’s grand design.
Accent rugs are commonly used to add a unique textural component to your space. You don't need a plush, shag rug to add dimension to your room; even flatweave rugs add texture and dimension to a space. Accent rugs that are completely flat or feature a different pile height add natural dimension to the space by standing against your flooring. Plus, playing with different textures and materials makes your space stand out as more unique, authentic, and interesting.
Shapes, sizes, and designs of accent rugs are incredibly diverse since these rugs can be used in so many different scenarios. Standard rectangular and runner rugs are two primary examples of accent rugs, but you’ll also see accent rugs that boast unique shapes. Round circular rugs can soften a separate seating area or reading nook with ease and contrast any rigid lines/shapes you have elsewhere in the room. Animal hide rugs that feature unique shapes are also popular as accent rugs and can define your space as something truly unique.
Accent rugs can help you personalize your home and express your unique style. Even if the rug features a highly traditional, popular pattern, it will still be a unique accent in your one of a kind home. Between all the different options for patterns, materials, pile heights, colors, shapes, and sizes, you can easily find an accent rug that perfectly conveys your personality and aesthetic.
Accent rugs are full of potential. Whether you’re using your accent rug in a primary public space or a secluded portion of the home, you can furnish your space to reflect your personal aesthetic and lifestyle. Now, you can find an accent rug that perfectly compliments your home’s unique spaces and show off your unique style.
