Is the Interior Decorating Big Idea Hiding in Your Home?
Some of the most innovative interior decorating ideas can be inspired by something as simple as area rugs. Maybe it’s that subtle colour, rich and deeply woven into the fibers of the design that inspires you to go right out and get a new paint color customized for your favourite room of the house. Maybe the big idea is hiding somewhere in the geometric patterns of some contemporary area rugs that will help you to select a modern lamp shade to polish off that one drab corner of your sitting room. Or perhaps, the area rug you found generates so much excitement in your imagination that you decide to scrap everything to create the room of your dreams.
Wherever you find your inspiration – be it in a colour or a particular decorating style, discount rugs can add either the final, finishing touch - or give you a process of becoming inspired. After all, interior decorating ideas are everywhere. There is no idea too big, or too small. Opportunities to explore your mind’s eye are all around you. Think outside the rug. Is it round, oval, rectangular or square? What pieces do you still need to find to put outside the rug? A bookshelf?
What about the front entrance? Might you need a runner-style area rug to guide your steps from a fabulous foyer into the posh and elegant dining room? What about when your feet hit the floor first thing in the morning? Are they greeted by a hard unwelcoming surface? No! That’s no way to start your day! Consider instead the luxurious feel of a tufted rug in super-soft cotton. Cool in the summer, and cuddly-warm in winter, there’s a reason why this style has endured since it busted out all over (in glamorous gold) in the late 60s and early 70s.
The water closet is an often un-thought space to place a designer area rug. Why should anyone be relegated to buying a cheap-looking, rubber-backed matching set of boring and predictable toilet rugs and bath mats? That’s just wrong. With washable area rugs in endless sizes and shapes, your family bath can have display the personality that you do. And what’s more, it should. Your bathroom should be a place to indulge in relaxing refinements and luxury. Don’t spoil your Queen Sheba milk and vanilla bath by stepping out of the deep tub of wonderfulness and onto a trashy, plastic-y mess of a typecast bath mat.
Area rugs are forever the most attractive solution to covering hardwoods or ceramic tiling. With quality wall-to-wall carpeting costing so much, and an obvious no-no for anyone with indoor allergies, why would you ever commit to only one colour or style? With area rugs, you can switch it up from season to season, artistically, affordably, almost magically!
The customer service experts at Abingdon Rug can help to guide your early ideas into exploring all the 20,000 in-stock cheap area rugs options open to you. Think outside the rug. There lies your most beautiful inspiration.
