Choosing the best rugs and carpets for the house is essential however, making the best use of them is even more important! Wondering how to go about this? Here are top four ways to make the most out of your rugs for your home décor –
Use them as center pieces
A lot of people who have minimal artwork in their living room and dressing room areas can use the handmade Persian rugs as a center piece. This means that the rug will be the only object in the center of your room that will drive all the focus to it. This can work really well in a large room which has a small center table wherein the rug can be placed below the table.
While doing so, ensure that your walls don’t have too much décor or way too many colors because this will clash with your handmade oriental rugs’ designs and colors. Simplicity is key so be sure to follow this rule of thumb.
Hang on the wall as artwork
You can also hang the hand knotted tribal rugs as wall décor pieces in your bedroom, living or even in the balcony area. This is very common in middle eastern households and slowly a lot of people around the world have been following this style as well.
You can hang the carpet using nails or even frame it if it isn’t too big. Be sure to check that the wall décor doesn’t clash overall because a lot of times people tend to have too much artwork installed which can cause a serious imbalance in the aesthetics. With hand knotted silk rugs, be sure to balance out the artwork with the tones and designs.
Join the pathway between rooms
Another way to use rugs especially the longer ones is by using them as a pathway to join two rooms. Most commonly these rugs are used between the living room and the dining or even the entrance of the house till the hall.
This can be an excellent way to ensure that your rooms are connected without having any overlapping of the carpets. In this scenario, plain carpets that aren’t filled with heavy designs are used. This is perfect for people who have huge rooms and more space to play around with.
Fill in negative space
If you have a huge room and want to fill in negative space, using a carpet can be a brilliant idea! You can fill in all the negative space easily with the help of a small rug in the corner of your room and have a neat coffee table or side table placed on this. You can even choose a heavier design and color combination for this smaller rug.
