Rugs usually convey images of a comfortable armchair, a warm crackling fire and your dog curled up at your feet. But, now a rug is more versatile and come in a variety of styles, shapes and colors to match the theme of your room. Whether it is the hand knotted rugs or the Persian made ornate rug, it can add character to your home.
Conventionally a rug is laid on beds or on the hearth. However, nowadays the rug is also used as a floor covering serving a decorative purpose. A rug or a carpet can be handmade or machine made. The handmade variety is usually woven of knots and the technique probably dates back to the 2nd millennium B.C. Mongolia or Turkistan! Back home, in America the Navajo and other tribes in North America have been using hand knotted method for a long time too.
The Rug And Interior Decoration
The woven knot rug can make or break your room so while using a rug you should know:
. A darker rug conceals dust and imparts a cozy feel to a room while a lighter rug makes a room look large.
. A balance between the dark and light colors of a rug gives a smooth look.
. A rug with thick piles or tufts needs special attention.
A rug is essentially a decorative piece in your house and you need to carefully coordinate the rug with the other commodities in your house.
. The rug should balance the color scheme in a room, complimenting it.
. Furniture is another important factor to be taken into account while buying a rug.
. If there are many open spaces in your room you could make it look more opulent and colorful with the help of carpets.
Thanks to technological advancements, a custom rug lets you choose your very own colors, design and style. All you need now is a 'rug'-ed imagination.
