Area rugs are one of my favorite design elements. A great rug can take a room from “meh” to “wow” quickly and inexpensively. For relatively little cost and even less work, a new area rug can greatly enhance any space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to find inexpensive everyday rugs at department stores like Target or Kohl\u2019s, or at \u201cbig box\u201d stores like Home Depot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard area rug sizes include:<\/p>\n\n\n

    To help determine what size rug looks best in your space, use tape or newspaper on the floor of the area, then measure, including under any furniture like sofas or beds. Rugs may also be custom-made in any size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many shoppers don\u2019t realize that custom-bound<\/strong> rugs are affordable and available at most flooring stores. Any carpet can be custom-bound into a rug of any size. The only cost is the price of the carpet and the labor charge for binding.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Carpet remnants also make excellent bound rugs, for a fraction of the price. Existing rugs may also be re-bound or even re-sized\u2014a room-size rug cut down into runners, for example, or a rectangular rug cut into a square or circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With a variety of carpet styles available, choices for rugs are unlimited. Frieze or \u201cshag\u201d styles make good casual choices. Subtle tone-on-tone textures add interest without competing with furniture or drapery fabrics and can be more formal. Plaids, animal prints or other patterns can make the rug a focal point of the room. Use darker patterns to help hide wear in heavy traffic areas or on stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t forget rug pads underneath, as well, to help rugs wear and feel better longer<\/em>. Pads also provide a non-slip backing to help prevent rugs from sliding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
