1. DEFINE YOUR STYLE
Before acquiring a rug, immerse yourself in the style vision you desire for your space, whether it's classic, modern, bohemian, minimalist, or any other. This first step will help you select the perfect rug that suits your design goals in terms of design, color, shape, and material.
2. SIZE IS ESSENTIAL
Choosing the right size for a room involves considering its proportion in relation to the available space. Look for a balance that prevents a rug from being excessively large or too small, ensuring a sense of spaciousness and comfort. Discover how to achieve more luxurious rugs in your home.
3. HARMONIOUS COLORS
The colors of rugs can transform a dull space into a vibrant one. Follow these basic guidelines: if the walls and furniture are neutral, opt for a rug with intense color or patterns to bring the space to life. If the walls or furniture are striking, choose a rug with soft or neutral tones to balance the space.
4. A PERFECT PLAY OF TEXTURES
The textures of rugs can bring warmth, freshness, softness, or rusticity to the environment. Choose long or fluffy rugs for a cozy atmosphere, or select natural fibers like cotton, sisal, or jute to add visual and tactile interest. Combine different textures and materials for a unique touch.
5. COORDINATE PATTERNS
Patterned rugs can be a focal point in a room, especially when combined with solid-colored furniture and neutral-toned walls. If you want to use more than one patterned rug in the same space or combine them with other patterned elements, make sure they share some common element, such as color, style, or size.
6. EMBRACE SYMMETRY
Symmetry brings order and harmony to the space. To achieve it with rugs, you can choose between two options: Use a single large rug that covers an area and divides it from other spaces. Place several small rugs of the same size and shape, distributing them evenly in the space.
7. CREATE DISTINCT LAYERS
Layering multiple rugs to create a layered effect is a trendy approach that adds personality and dynamism to the space. Ensure that layered rugs have some common element, whether it's color, pattern, or shape. Experiment with different patterns and sizes that complement each other to achieve original and unexpected combinations. Maintain visual coherence by using a consistent color palette, even if the sizes, fabrics, or patterns vary.
8. ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE
A dirty or deteriorated rug can ruin the entire decorative effect you're aiming for. Take care of the cleanliness and maintenance of your rugs by following the manufacturer's instructions and adapting them to the type of material and use. In general, it's recommended to vacuum rugs at least once a week, clean stains as soon as possible with an appropriate product, and wash or take them to the dry cleaner once or twice a year.
9. REFRESH WITH SEASONAL TRENDS
One way to give your space a fresh look without changing all the elements is to adopt the latest rug trends according to the season. For example, in winter, choose rugs with warm colors and cozy textures, while in summer and spring, opt for rugs with cooler colors and lightweight textures.
