Color has an incredible ability to set the tone of any room. The right color has the ability to create a soothing retreat after a busy day at the office, or a bold and stylish place that reflects your personality, and even a warm and inviting space that invites conversation.
Building the color in the room literally starts from the ground up. You can find inspiration for the colors that are going to be used to design the room in many places but it`s often easiest to start from a large, centrally located piece of inspiration, like living room rugs, to help create a theme for the space.
Think about the type of mood that you want to create and how it’s going to be used. Are people going to gather in the space and become energized or are you looking for a calming influence? Is it going to be an adult only space, or are children going to gather? Taking into account the use of the room can help to determine the energy you would like to create. The next step is choosing a color palette that pleases you. Color tones do a lot to changing how you feel when you spend time in a room. Consider that reds and oranges are energizing, while blues and lavender are calming and quieting.
Start with the basics, the rug. What can you do to find the right rug for the space? The first decision that you’re going to have to make when choosing a rug is to choose between patterns and solid colors. Patterns and designs can bring personality, but it can be difficult to mix multiple patterns within the space. Solid colors can create a backdrop for other colors in the room and are easier to create cohesive designs with for novice decorators. However if the room is decorated with mostly neutrals, a fabulous patterned area rug will create a feeling of luxury.
In addition to choosing a patterned or colored rug, you should consider the texture and the material that the rug was made out of. Inviting spaces are often created with high pile rugs that are comfortable and inviting to sit on, or walk on without shoes. Parents of young children that are searching for an inviting rug are often drawn to high pile rugs as they are going to provide a soft area for playing on the floor.
With so many colors to choose from, it won’t be hard to find a rug that is going to invite, energize or create a bold statement for the room. Rather than choosing a trendy color, a classic color or design is going to allow you to build around the space, choosing colored or trendy accents throughout the room. This way, to update the space you can change the small accents or a piece of furniture and leave the integral pieces that hold the room’s design together, like the living room rug, intact.
Patterned rugs from RugsToMyDoor are a great choice for a space because there are hundreds of options available. Who would have thought you could find a large area rug with beautiful artwork as the pattern. Even if you are searching for something neutral and muted in tones that are going to allow bold pieces of furniture to speak for them, you’re will be able to find a pattern for that need. It’s going to create an interesting space on the floor that adds to the overall style and design of the room. Choose small and delicate patterns for rooms with heavy furniture, and in likewise, choose a bold print or pattern for a room that has minimalist furniture.
