Area Rugs; Hints For Buying

By Carolyn Price


A wonderful decorative addition to any space, area rugs come in a large variety of sizes, styles and prices. Knowing where to start before making a purchase will help to ensure a pleasant buying experience and an owner who is proud and happy with their purchase. There are several things to take into consideration.

Budget is the first thing to consider. While there are some very inexpensive rigs available, they are made of inferior materials and will not stand up well over time. They can also be difficult to clean if something is spilled on it. Those made of wool or silk are often the highest quality and often end up lasting a very long time, and looking better over time. Spending more money up front can save some in the long run as the rug will not need to replaced for many years. Budget stores are definitely not going to have quality rugs so do some research.

Measure carefully to ensure a great fit. An area rug that is to fill the room should not exactly do so, there should be a two foot perimeter of the underlying floor around the edges, otherwise it can look crowded. If several rugs are to be used, or if the rug is only for a small portion of the space, measurements of the entire room are not as important as smaller rugs can be placed wherever desired.

Take into consideration the colours of the decor and furnishings that the rug will accent. The rug can be something that will stand out and make a statement, or be something more subdued and neutral. Consider the future as well as there will likely be a time that the furniture and paint is changed. Buying something trendy may seem like a great idea now, but can end up not working out well in the future.

Be an educated buyer and know as much as possible before going out to buy one. Talk to family, friends and coworkers and ask for a recommendation. Do research, look online and ensure that when visiting stores that the salesperson knows what they are talking about before buying. Gathering information and being a smart buyer can help avoid disappointment.

There are an endless number of shapes available. Look at the space and decide what will fit best, whether it be rectangular, square, round or any of the other shapes that are offered. Often, buying one that is a non traditional shape can help to add interest and beauty to a space.

Rugs for beneath a dining room table should extend beyond the perimeter of it by a minimum of eighteen inches for the best look. When placing one under the bed, extending it by a couple of feet beyond the dimensions of the bed helps keep things well proportioned and will make sure that it can be seen.

Taking time to consider all of the options before making a purchase is important and can help to ensure that it is the perfect rug for the space. Do some research and take careful measurements to ensure the best possible outcome.
