Do you have tile or wood covering much of your home’s flooring? If so then you may do well to purchase and place an area rug. Amidst furniture and beautiful flooring, carefully placed carpet is welcoming and comforting. However, how can you go about selecting the perfect rug to complement your home’s décor? Use the following tips to keep your interior comfortable and stylish.
Design Consistency
If you’re just now decorating a room then you’re in luck. Use your blank canvas to paint a beautiful room, using the palette of your choice, ranging from warm and welcoming to breezy and open. Think about the color scheme you want and consider buying an area rug before settling on furniture and window treatments.
However, if you’re aiming to add a rug to an already furnished area of the house then take careful inventory of the rooms primary design themes. A good area rug will bring out the best colors found in other pieces of furniture without distracting the eye.
Size
An improperly sized rug can be incredibly unattractive. While sticking to traditional size conventions is always a safe bet, feel free to step outside the conventional idea of rug boundaries—rugs can cover area under more than one piece of furniture. Once you’ve determined the approximate size of the rug you need, write down the length and width in feet or inches and check stores for pieces matching your parameters.
Placement
You can put your rug anywhere in the house. However, the placement of your area rug will determine the type of rug you purchase. If you have a rug out in the open without any furniture atop then you should choose wisely. An open-air area rug should be more of an art piece than anything else. Conversely, if you’re purchasing a rug to rest beneath the dining room table then choose one that is designed to handle a spill. A living room rug, on the other hand, should prioritize comfort about all else.

Buying furniture is investing in your future. Good investments include products that last and are made of quality materials. While high-quality furniture is not always cheap, don’t let the price tag fool you; less expensive does not always translate to great value. Here are a few ways to separate good furniture from the cheaper counterparts.
Wood
Many furniture pieces are made of wood. Within the category of “wooden furniture,” however, there are many different materials, each with their own qualities. Sturdy wood furniture is often made of oak, maple, or mahogany. A good finish on your wood furniture also indicates high quality. Before buying furniture, be sure to ask about the materials used.
Construction
It is rare for a piece of furniture to be crafted from one, solid piece of material. There are nuts, screws, and bolts involved in the construction of most furniture. When it comes to bookshelves, bureaus, desks, and dining sets, pay special attention to their construction. If it is not obvious when examined, ask a furniture store clerk how each piece was put together. If a good amount of glue was involved or if the hinges look at all weak then look elsewhere for more sound pieces.
Leather or Cloth
It is easy to differentiate fake leather from genuine. If you see an ottoman or couch made with large stretches of leather then it is more than likely a substitute material. Real leather has stitching every foot or so and is not likely to have scratches. When it comes to cloth, be wary of spots and look for reinforced stitching that provides added strength.
