AREA RUG SHOPPING TIPS
Size, color, and style, are the first concerns you should address when shopping for an area rug. Next, you need to think about how the room is going to be used and by whom. If it's going to be in a high traffic area with everyone and the dog, look for something that isn't going to show soiling as much such as a patterned rug. And maybe something less expensive if it's going to get hard use. It is also a good idea to buy a rug pad to protect wood and tile floors. Some believe a rug is the place to start when decorating a room, we disagree; do the furnishings first. Think about it, do you want your furnishings to compliment the rug, or the rug to compliment your furnishings? A tip that will work wonders in selecting the right rug size is to place masking tape on the floor in the shape where you want the rug and measure this as your guide. This handy trick also works for other things you're looking to purchase and gives you a better concept of how an item will fit into your room.
