There is good reason an area rug should carpet a room. They’re practical, providing cushion, comfort, and warmth over a concrete, tile or wood floor. But they also provide artistic value to a room’s design. Considered artwork for the floor, which acts as the frame, size does matter — and it’s often a big concern for the homeowner unsure of how to create that well-balanced space.
So designers say start with
the rug first. From its design, you can choose colors to paint your walls and find throw pillows and paintings to
complete the decor. Just make sure to follow this rule of thumb: The area rug should be a minimum of six inches and
no more than two feet away from the wall.
When you take into consideration the different uses of an area
rug, shapes and design preferences, however, other factors weigh in as well.
