An area rug can be the perfect way to tie all of your pieces together. From something bold that makes a statement to an understated piece to accent the whole room. No matter what your style, a rug can make a huge impact in your home, especially when you have hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl tile, or other cooler feeling floors. If you're curious about how to choose this perfect piece, here are a few things to keep in mind from your Lake of the Ozarks interior decorators!

Color/Pattern

When looking for a rug, you need to consider the overall style and theme of your home. The color and pattern will make a great impact in your space, but only if you choose it carefully. If you have furniture with patterns, a solid rug could be a great option to help balance the vibe. Likewise, if you have solid colored furniture, choosing a patterned rug could be a great option.

Deep rich colors create intimate spaces, while lighter shades tend to make the space feel more open. Bright and vibrant colors create energy, while muted tones create serenity. What type of space do you want to create? The colors you chose can make that happen! If you aren't sure where to start, our interior design store at the Lake of the Ozarks can help.

Size

The shape of your room actually plays a big role in the size of your rug. If you are ever between sizes, you can't go wrong with getting a larger rug. In fact, larger can make the difference between a room looking pulled together or chopped up. Also, keep in mind that the orientation of your room compared to your rug can make a big difference in the rug working or not in your space.

Style

Did you know that there are many different styles of rugs? Just as you will find different styles of furniture, lamps, and accents, you'll also find that rugs have different styles. This can be based on the materials, the colors, the pattern or even just the shape of the rug. Figure out the style of your room, and then find a rug that works with and blends well with the style. From Mediterranean to traditional, you'll find rugs of all different styles, and we can help you get access to even more varieties than you'll find on your own.

Shape

Finally, the shape of your rug can be the make or break difference between the rug working in your space or not working. There are many different shapes that rugs can come in, some are typical, others are a bit different, but all have a place in different homes and rooms. The most common shapes are circular, square, and rectangle. The biggest thing to consider is the shape of your room and how a rug will look in your space. If you have unique features to your room, such as a bay window, a circular rug can accent the shape and really make a great impact. However, a long hallway would do best with a long rectangular rug.
