Of all the dreams that we cherish right from our childhood, owning an abode surely is at the top of our wish-list. We want our homes to be an ideal and comfortable nesting place where we unwind after a long and exhausting day at the office or workplace. If you’ve recently bought a home or intend to refurbish the living room of your existing setup, then it is obvious that you’d be paying a lot of attention on doing up or redecorating the interiors.
When it comes to sprucing up the interiors of your home, installing furniture that highlights the layout is your top priority, especially if the rooms are small. Once you’re through with the setting up the furniture, embellishing the walls is next on your mind. Bedecking the floors and layering them with rugs might be low on your priority list but contrary to what you might think, runners or carpets can significantly contribute to emphasizing the interior décor.
Besides putting the accent on the décor of your bedroom or living room, rugs act as a protective layer, keeping the floors and your feet from getting dirty and soiled. When it comes to picking up a rug, we tend to choose a product based mostly on its durability and aesthetics because we want the runner to hold up as long as possible and also appear eye-catching. But why should you restrict yourself to selecting a carpet or mat by considering only durability and style?
Why not go the whole hog by picking and choosing runners by categories of ‘area’, ‘construction’, ‘pattern’, ‘texture’, ‘color’ and ‘shape’? Good quality rugs regardless of whether you select them for your art studio or for your boudoir do not come cheap. So, you take your time and take all the quality yardsticks into consideration before making a purchase decision.
Contrary to popular belief, the task of selecting carpets or mats for your home or office does not have to be an onerous and challenging one. You simply need to go online, click on the URLs of 5-6 reputed dealers or distributors dealing in home furnishings and furniture, and browse through the web pages. The portals will surely have a webpage dedicated to rugs-Just mouse over and/or click on the field inscribed with ‘mats’, and an entire realm will open up in front of your eyes.
After landing on this page, you’ll view the rug categories (usually on the left side) including but not limited to contemporary, classic, Indian, Asian, North African, Moroccan, Kashmiri, runners, and construction (flatweave, tufted, natural woven, knotted). You’ll also find listings in terms of patterns like classic motif, geometric, floral, and solid, and shapes like rectangular, rhombus, and square. You can choose products by brands like Arhaus, Eclectic, Edelman, Holly Hunt, Jonathan Adler, JSL Carpet Corp. Lindstrom Rugs, Robinson, Vintage, and so on.
And then there is an almost endless range of colors to opt for-white/off white, yellow, beige, black, grey, blue, green, burgundy, pink, rose, and the like.
Irrespective of whether you go for a designer rug or classic Persian carpet, the mat can add a dash of splendor and grandiose to your home’s interiors.
