A number of considerations surround area rug selection from TEMA Contemporary
Furniture; including design, comfort, construction, size, materials and price.
We offer a variety of area rugs that provide accessory possibilities to fit
any decor and personal taste.
Design. An empty room may be designed around an area rug, or a rug may put
the final touches on an existing room. When designing a room around an area
rug, use the rug colors to decide upon furniture, paint or paper color. A
well-chosen area rug can coordinate patterns, furniture, and wall prints
to complete a room design.
:
Furniture may be selected around rug colors
and design. Area rugs are an effective method to mix patterns that have the
same color palette.
Deep
colored area rugs provide warmth and intimacy, while lights colored rugs
can open a room and provide a more spacious feeling.
Evaluate the size
of the space and the area to cover. Larger area rugs provide comfort and benefit
acoustics in a large space. Area rugs also
enhance
areas in bedrooms, kitchens and other smaller areas that may require a splash
of color or warmth.
TEMA Contemporary Furniture provides a variety
of area rugs made from synthetic and natural yarns.
Machine-made
area rugs are less expensive, yet similar in appearance to handmade area rugs.
TEMA Contemporary Furniture offers both
types of construction.
Circular and other uniquely shaped rugs can
present a design alternative to rectangular or square shapes.
The
type of light and amount of traffic in a room will affect choices of area rug
material. Some man-made fibers resist fading better than
natural
fibers, so consider the amount of direct sunlight an area rug will receive.
An area rug with the right combination of pile density (closer stitches or
tufts) and fiber will resist wear.
Area rug underlays (or pads) will reduce
wear on the area rug and provide additional noise absorption.
When considering a room-sized area rug for a hardwood or tile floor, allow
at least eight inches of floor material to be exposed around the area rug perimeter.
In
dining rooms, measure the top of the table and add four feet to the width and
length. Use this measurement to determine the size of the dining room
area rug. The extra footage provides a comfortable area around the table
for pulling out chairs.
Do not extend area rugs into high traffic areas.
Divide a large space into more
intimate sitting areas by placing furniture around 4'X6' or 6'X8' area rugs.
Floral
patterns can accentuate and blend with more contemporary geometric designs
if the color palettes are similar.
Pair less complicated designs with more intricate
patterns.
Small and large patterns pair well.
When selecting an area rug around existing
furniture, bring a swatch of the predominant pattern in the room.
