When you\u2019re getting ready to decorate a new room, the most important starting place is right beneath your feet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A rug is a great foundation for designing your space and sets you up to coordinate the whole room \u2014 from recliner and side tables to the final throw pillows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re shopping for a room that\u2019s already (almost) fully furnished. I\u2019m here to guide you through your selection so you\u2019ll be happy enough to cut a rug\u2014see what I did there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Picking Rugs for Furnished or Unfurnished Rooms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rugs come in so many different colors, patterns, textures, shapes, and sizes \u2014 the options are endless! They add a sense of warmth and comfort, help ground furniture and define a space. Choosing the right rug is key to making your room feel complete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what to think about when rug shopping for a furnished or unfurnished room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Furnished Rooms: Consider your Lifestyle and Space<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The room this rug will belong in is something you may want to consider when choosing your rug.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A thicker, plush rug will add that comfort and coziness to your bedroom or living room.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In your dining area you\u2019ll want to go with a flat weave rug which is easier to clean. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also, consider a darker or patterned rug in high traffic areas such as entryways and kitchens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Unfurnished Rooms: Play with Patterns and Textures<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a look at your space and ask yourself a handful of questions. What style is your furniture? What colors are used throughout the room? Are there a lot of textures and patterns? What kind of flooring is in place? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your room is full of clean lines, neutral colors, and subtle patterns, you may want to go bold with your rug. One that\u2019s rich in color or has a bold pattern will add some character and dimension to your design! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re working with a room that already has a lot of color and pattern, try a neutral rug to avoid any clashing and to soften up the space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Finding the Right Type of Rug<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s explore specific types available.

A low pile rug basically means a slimmer rug with tighter fibers, while high pile means a fluffier rug with longer fibers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Low pile rugs<\/strong> (generally less than \u00bc inch) are great for busier rooms, especially if you have kids in the house. They\u2019re easier to vacuum and their fibers aren\u2019t likely to loosen up and cause any unexpected tumbles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High pile rugs<\/strong> (generally \u00bd to \u00be inch or greater) than are good for accenting areas with lower foot traffic (definitely not a rug to place anywhere pig piles are likely to occur). They\u2019re also a little tougher to vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your heart breaks at the thought of choosing between low and high, you can actually choose the middle!
