The Decorating Dilemma With A Round Rug
Find a an area rug that fits the decorative styling of your great-room may have you stifled at the moment, but if you start thinking out of the box, or more importantly the “square”, and look at a braided round rug then your interior design lesson will be over in a short time. Braided rugs have been around for a few hundred years, but during the late 1800s and early 1900s the textile mills in the northeast united states started producing them at a wholesale pace, and have not looked back since.
A round rug is a great addition to a large living area with lots of open space, and by arranging the furniture around the flooring cover, it will become the lower centerpiece that truly ties the room together. An alternation of earthen colors will help blend your taupe or khaki color sofa and chairs in with the rest of the décor, and with a matching but slightly contrasting brown curtains that includes a beige paisley print your room will be of museum quality in show quality and perfect shading. The neutral tones will allow you also add color yellow, orange, and even navy blue decorative pieces to give the room a muted liveliness that is not in the average home.
The typical round rug can also be found in the foyer area of a home and is placed directly underneath the brushed nickel chandelier as almost as if the lighting is targeting the rug itself. If your entrance area has an odd shape that needs more coverage than what a circle can provide then an oval area rug should be place there instead. The color should pick up the highlights of the chandelier, any furniture, and or stained glass in the front door, and color the walls. Be sure and purchase the optional rug pad to go with it, as this will add even more comfort for the weary feet of visitors entering your home.
In the case of a more upscale custom home decorating scheme you will want to option for the Colonial Mills Elegance line of carpeting, as they use chenille yarns, plus thirty-five to forty percent wool to give the final product the most luxurious look and highest possible comfort for walking on that money can buy. The average price C.M.’s area rugs will be in the three hundred dollar range for a small to medium size, and for a large living room covering the prices will hover around the fifteen hundred dollar mark.
