How To Use Custom Area Rugs For Interior Design

In the world of interior design, custom area rugs can make a room feel finished and inviting. You put a lot of effort into designing spaces to suit both form and function, and the placement of an area rug can transform your room both aesthetically and emotionally.

If you’ve ever experienced the joy of walking barefoot on a soft fluffy carpet, then you understand this already. In terms of design, an area rug is often the missing piece in a room that should feel finished but somehow doesn’t. Often, you can get custom made area rugs to suit your individual needs.

Here are some ways you can use area rugs to complete your almost-finished living space.

Area rugs can…

• Add a pop of color or an interesting pattern to a neutral paletteIf you’ve ever seen those beautiful designer kitchens where the counters, cabinets, and backsplash are a lovely combination of white and taupe you know there is always a pop of color. The same idea can be used with a luxury rug. Giving your room the benefit of a striking color pop connecting your throw pillows to the carpet to a painting on the wall. Driving the aesthetic of your home.

• Bring in a touch of whimsyAn area rug can be a great statement piece. Whether you’re hoping to bring out your cultural roots through an intricate pattern or you are trying to make it feel like your sitting on a beach somewhere drinking mimosas, using custom made rugs is a fun way to display your personality within your home.

• Provide a grounding point for large objects that just feel offCustom made area rugs are an excellent way to give large objects, like a bed or sofa, a home. If you have a piece that is particularly attractive, say an antique with gorgeous woodwork, an area rug beneath it would draw the eye and create an aesthetic focus in the room.

When considering interior design, the ideal distance that an area rug needs from the wall is between 12 and 14 inches. This provides an interesting layered effect similar to a matte finish to a painting. This contrast aesthetically frames the space. Because most rooms vary in size, it’s usually best to order custom size area rugs to work specifically in your spaces.
