It's very common to find rugs or carpets in almost every room of your home.
Often though there isn't a lot of thought put behind the choices made when it comes to the decorating of the room.
Many people don't realize that you can use these as a focal point of your room.
By doing that you can often help cut down the cost involved with other aspects of the room that you are decorating.
For example you may not have to spend as much on the furniture or the enhancements such as artwork.
You need to decide whether you were going to renovate the room first and use these floor coverings as an accessory or are you going to use the carpets as your focal point.
If you are going to do the latter then you need to decide on the texture, color, and size.
Once you've made all these basic decisions on your rug or carpet it's going to come down to what is going to be the main color of the room.
You would be best to pick one of the secondary colors from the carpet to be used on your walls in conjunction with the accessories working with the rug colors as well.
You want the main color of the carpet to remain as the focal point because this is what you're decorating the room around.
The shape of the rug is very important part in the overall ambience of your room.
You can create an entirely different look with two rugs that are identical except for shape one being round or oval and the other being square.
It helps if you can visualize these carpets in the room that they're going to be going in.
Ideally, you want to make the furniture that's going to be in the room work with the carpet.
If you are using a small rug either square or oval as your focal point for your room then ideally you want to keep your furniture back from it so the entire surface of the carpet can be exposed and enjoyed.
These floor covering do not have to be the focal point of the room they can be used to accessorize and be just as effective.
For example a fur rug in front of the fireplace is warm and cozy and inviting.
It seems to tie in the effects of the fireplace.
The purpose of the room will also help you decide on the type of carpet that would be best for that area.
You don't want to have a carpet that's going to be difficult to clean in a high traffic area.
So as you can see picking your rug or carpet to go with your decor in order to enhance your home really does take a great deal of thought and research to get the best from what these items can offer.
