It’s amazing how much a designer rug makes a difference in your living room. It adds that extra flair in your space without requiring you to create major changes in it. But designer rugs are not only made for the living room. You can also use them in other rooms in your home. In fact, you can use them to solve different dilemmas that you might have in various spaces.
Here are some examples of how you can use designer rugs to solve some headache-inducing challenges at home.
1. Your flooring makes your living room look less inviting.
This is often the case with rooms with wood or stone flooring. Such flooring may be both stylish and durable, but it can create that cold atmosphere in a room. This is especially true if your space is big.
Instead of installing carpeting or, worse, substituting another type of flooring in your living room, you can make use of a designer rug. This way, you can soften the look of your wood or stone flooring while adding that extra texture in your living space.
2. You need a lounging area in your living room but you don’t have much space left for furniture.
Yes, bedrooms are supposed to serve as your sanctuary, as your resting space. But that does not mean all you can do is sleep in it. It’s also an ideal place to relax, read a good book or watch a good basketball game on TV.
Instead of confining yourself to the comforts of your bed, you can always set up something on which you can sit and unwind. If you don’t have extra space for a couch, divan or even a chair, you can always place a rug by your bed. This defines a seating area in your bedroom without taking up so much space. You can simply throw in some pillows onto the rug to make yourself more comfortable each time you sit on it.
3. Your den looks too cramped.
Almost every homeowner probably wants to be blessed with a bigger living space. If only a fairy godmother could spring up out of nowhere and make your home twice as big in size. Yet, this is the real world, where you have to win a raffle out of hundreds of TV viewers to win a makeover on a reality design show.
Thankfully, there are designer rugs that you can use to create an illusion that your cramped den is a lot bigger that it actually is. By adding in some light-colored rugs in your den, you can make it look and feel more spacious.
