The Right Rug for a Righteous Space

The right rug can really tie a room together. It can bring warmth, texture, color, and a sense of coziness to a space. Loft spaces have been the rage in urban living for the last several years, and rugs work especially well in this type of open environment to define and divide space in an otherwise unstructured open area. Lay a rug down, cluster furniture around it, and viola; you’ve got a “floating” area; no walls even needed to back up the sofa against. Rugs doubly work as room dividers. Place a rug for the bedroom area, one for the office/workspace, and one for the collective living room area. That is a great way to divide up a large studio where the sleeping space and living space are near to each other but without a dividing wall.

Try a large circle rug for the living room, and use a rectangle for under the bed. Get creative; can you use rectangle rugs off-skew, where they do not have to line up with the bed itself. I’m a fan of placing rugs like this; the rug under my bed comes out diagonally from underneath and looks just terrific. Place a runner down a hallway to dampen sound and bring warmth. Hardwood floors and polished concrete are highly desirable over carpeting, but they will need rugs here and there to make the space feel “homey”.

In a space with many hard lines, brings some softness to the area with a flokati or shag rug. The texture will do wonders for making the space feel inviting. Persian rugs are a favorite of mine, because they add so much color and pattern to the space and can be used very eclectically, unlike some more contemporary styles which only fit it contemporary homes. Persian rugs have a universal appeal, which is why they are still one of the number-one sellers today. Intricate in detail, they work with solid and patterned furniture alike. Dating back to ancient Persia which is covered by modern-day Iran; these are the finest rugs in the world and should be considered family heirlooms.

Oriental rugs have a similar appeal; detail, pattern and color galore. And they don’t just come in squares and rectangles; mix it up and try ovals and octagons. And if you really have the money to spend, try a rug in silk; if you have never worked your toes into a plush, silk rug, and have no idea what you are missing!
