Adding a contemporary rug can instantly transform a room set, injecting colour and style. The harder edges of wood or stone flooring can be softened by the inclusion of warm colours and fabrics. Stark contrasts can be played out to vivid effect or the warm tones of furniture can be further accentuated
Contemporary rugs can work wonders. A relatively inexpensive addition, they can form the focal point of a room or divide a room into separate and visually distinct areas. Rugs can effectively demarcate areas setting them aside for relaxation or delineate areas showing the flow or direction of a room
They can be used to tie in different decor styles. Successfully merging the traditional with the modern, the old with the new. Artwork for floors, they can be given their own space to make bold statements or help to blend colours and finish a room. An expanse of carpeting in a room can be a little overwhelming. The subtle placement of rugs can help to soften this effect by breaking it up with changes in colour and texture
If you decide to invest in a contemporary rug to form the focal point of a room, try to ensure that it is the key piece and it's not competing for attention with upholstery or drapes. This will lead to confusion and upset the balance of the room as the mind tries to decide which piece to look at first, why and for how long
Consideration must be given to the size of your rug. Too small and it will be lost in a room, too large and it will dominate it. Size the room, taking into account furniture items and naturally high footfall areas. If there is a natural route from one side of a room to another, decide whether your rug will cover that entire route or not impinge on it at all
