How To: Style a Rug Like a Pro
Rugs are the anchor of any space: They can define a space or be the glue that melds a design. It can be intimidating to choose the perfect rug because of this. So, where to begin when styling a rug? Before choosing a particular style, there are some important factors to consider.
Dimensions
Before picking a rug, you must consider what dimensions will work best within your space. This varies by room, and by your preference. You must consider the furniture going into the space, and how much rug you ideally need for the size of the furniture it is accompanying. For example, if you are choosing a rug for the dining room, you will want at least two feet of space for each chair at your table. So a table that seats 6, with two chairs on either side and one at each head, would need at least an 8 x 10 sized rug. Size is the first thing to consider when considering how to style a rug.
Visual Effect
Another key element to consider when styling a rug is the desired visual effect you want it to have in your space. Do you want the rug to seamlessly blend into the rest of the room, acting as an anchor to your space, or do you want a statement piece that will add extra excitement and pop? At Azari Rug Gallery, we often tell clients to consider the effect they are going for, not a specific design, as that can limit your possibilities of options. If your home is more modern, you may want a modern rug to subtly enhance the comfort and vibe. Whereas if your home is more mid-century, an antique rug would add a pop of color that would show off the eclectic elements of the style.
