If a space ever seems to be lacking warmth or feels “disjointed,” then an area rug could be exactly what it needs. Area rugs help define a space. They pull a room together and make it feel more complete. Besides these excellent benefits, an area rug can also serve to add extra style to a space by bringing in color, texture, and/or pattern. Think of them as art for your floors. Just as you put artwork on the walls to make a room feel more lived in and attractive, the same can be said about the rugs. Any room in the house can get a boost from the addition of the right area rug. Here are some examples of how an area rug can transform a space.
