How to Make Any Space Cozy with an Area Rug
No matter what your favorite décor style is, stylish area rugs will add warmth, soft comfort, texture, and instant visual interest. In fact, these valuable additions also help protect your floors underneath and can be used in every room in the home! You can find the rugs you love at the House of Carpets with a wide range of constructions and shades to select from. For even more inspiration as you explore, here are a few of our favorite ideas to make any space cozy with an area rug.
Entranceways
We love the use of appropriate area rugs at your entranceways both for keeping dirt and debris at bay and showcasing your style as soon as visitors arrive! To handle the foot traffic, occasional moisture, and the outdoor elements, an olefin area rug will be a great material to use at your doorways. You can use the colors and patterns of your choices to serve your home as effectively as possible. If you receive lots of natural light, you can try a lighter-colored design to play off this effect and brighten up the space. If the area you live in receives ample rainfall or wind, consider a speckled design that will camouflage stains and particles more.
Hallways
To cushion foot traffic and insulate your hallways, investigate which runners will work well with your design scheme and find the rug dimensions to fit your home perfectly. Maybe your hallway has a theme with the wall art or picture frames that you can mirror with your rug selection. Elongated runners will enhance the proportion and balance of your hallway and help tie all of the décor together while adding comfort to your hard surface flooring. For best performance results, a nylon or polyester construction will lend plenty of softness while handling the activity your hallway will experience.
Kitchens/Bathrooms
Since we spend much of our time in kitchens and bathrooms on our feet, it only makes sense that we would want to add as much coziness underfoot as possible! With plenty of plush materials and playful designs to choose from, one solid choice will be a cotton area rug with your favorite visual. Cotton is often machine-washable and will handle moisture appropriately for these rooms. Not only will these rugs help with slip resistance and spills, but cotton fiber also provides a familiar feel that your toes will cherish!
Living Rooms/Bedrooms
For your living room and bedrooms, it’s time to indulge in the softness and materials you crave. If you want an utterly relaxing texture underfoot, consider a silk or shag rug for these rooms where we love to unwind. If you have active children or pets, you may want to avoid a luxurious rug investment until the activity level in your household mellows out. However, these generally low-activity rooms are often a great fit for more sophisticated rug choices that will craft an upscale cozy appeal for you to enjoy.
Whatever your favorite vibe is, the right area rugs will enhance your home and bring the overall cozy factor up a few notches. Visit the House of Carpets to explore every rug size, shape, construction, and visual to uplift your inspired interiors!
