Dress Up Your Floor With Solid Color Rugs

Ranked #54,244 in Home & Garden, #902,218 overall

If you are moving or just redecorating a room in your home, rugs are always a consideration. No matter what style you like to use when you decorate a room, solid color rugs will match almost any furnishings you choose. There may also be the possibility that you are renting an apartment that already has one of the bland, same old carpets on the floor and you want to dress it up a little. Let's look at ways to dress up a plain floor.

Let's first assume that you are moving in to a place with wooden floors. The wood floors are no doubt beautiful, however you will need to protect them to keep them looking beautiful and scuff free. You certainly don't want scratches on the beautiful floors, so you will need to find attractive solutions to these issues.

Table Runners

Runners, which are long, rectangular shaped rugs, will help protect high traffic areas. Runners from basic brown rugs will be the ticket for your hallways. Brown matches everything, and will help you to transition into the other rooms along the hall.

Depending upon the color scheme in your living room, you can purchase slightly larger solid color rugs in a complementary color to fit from the coffee table to the front of the sofa to protect the very high traffic area there. Other shades of area rugs can be purchased to fit under the dining table to keep spills off the wooden floor.

Area Rugs

Orange rugs and red rugs are very attractive in the kitchen and bathroom areas of your home, and will help to tie it all in and make your home's decor flow while adding depth and texture to the floors.

Floor Designs

Many rental properties have carpeted floors that attach from wall to wall. If you are moving in to a place with wall to wall carpet, you will want to keep that carpet in the best possible condition. This is especially true if the property is a rental, as this will help you get your deposit back when you leave. Placing throw rugs of contrasting colors on top of the wall to wall carpet is a great way to protect the carpet and add texture and color to the rooms. Most rental properties have a basic beige carpet, so contrasting with brown rugs or floral rugs in the high traffic areas will go a long way to protect the carpet while adding depth to the floors. All hallways and pivot points should be protected with area rugs. Prevent wear and tear on the wall to wall carpets and add throw rugs of any style to protect them.

Shopping For Area Rugs

As you begin shopping for any kind of area rugs, get a good idea of how many types there are before you buy. You can find low pile, heavy pile; even shag rugs in a wide variety of colors and even assorted shades of the same color. Look for rugs with different and contrasting textures that create a spot of drama and draw your eyes towards them. With the vast variety available, you are sure to find exactly what works for your home.
