Making the Match: Picking the Right Rug Color
June 13, 2018Rugs have always been a classic, timeless way to improve a space. Lately, though, consumers are branching out and picking rugs that say so much more than step on me. Over the past few years, people have expressed a rising inclination for hardwood flooring over carpet. As a result, carpets have become more of a design presentation used to provide a finishing touch for a room with hardwood flooring.
Nowadays, rugs are a design statement. Check out the following 2018 rug trends to keep your space fashion-forward with the perfect rug to make a memorable statement.
Carpet Runners
With the growing popularity of hardwood floors, we have noticed a marked rise in the prevalence of carpet runners for steps and area rugs in a home or building. While carpet runners have become a major decorative trend, they are also vital for safety purposes.
For the most part, area rugs look their best when they establish a variance in color or texture in between themselves and the hardwood flooring. When it comes to runners, however, many prefer simple and modern patterns rather than oriental styles. Instead of standardized runners, people are now favoring custom-made runners cut especially for their stairways and steps. Most designers are also avoiding carpet rods in order to create a more sleek, crisp look.
Carpet Tiles
With the ability to be replaced easily after being damaged, carpet tiles are a logical choice for commercial environments and high-traffic areas in a building. Throughout the past couple of years, they have also become a key choice for residential homes, particularly in basements or playrooms for children. Carpet tiles are available in a large selection of colors and patterns, so they are an excellent means of enhancing the creativity and richness of a room.
Neutral Colors
When it comes to rug style trends in carpeting colors, you might have noticed the expanding desire for neutral colors, such as grays and taupes. Rugs with these softened tones enable you to incorporate more color flares in a room’s decorative accents and create a harmonious appearance when used on dark hardwood flooring.
