Size Matters

The number one rule is to avoid choosing a rug that is too small! One agreement amongst interior designers is that choosing a rug that is too small can really make a space feel unfinished and seem a lot smaller than it is. A rug that is the correct size can optimize the space and make the room look well-thought-out and high-end. Choosing the wrong size rug is a common mistake but it can easily be avoided.

The best option to create a high-end living space is to have all the furniture legs on the rug, including sofa, accent chairs, and side tables. To give the furniture enough space not to feel cramped, ensure that there is at least 6 inches of overhang past the back of all the furniture. This typically requires a rug that is 9’ by 12’ or larger, depending on your furniture layout and room size.

Decadent Colors

A color scheme can help your living room make a bold impact and leave a lasting impression. Choosing the right one will help to give your space the luxurious look you are going for. Red is one of the most recommended colors to use in the living room as it is a great choice to energize a space and add drama.

A rug acts as an anchor of your room and because of this the color of your rug can help to establish the mood of your space. Every color creates an automatic and unconscious associating that establishes the feeling it evokes. If your sense of a luxurious space is intimate, stylish, and sophisticated you may want to try deep colors, or if you want a lighter and airier space try lighter colors. The color as well as its tone and value all play a part in how we view a color scheme and what feeling it creates.

Working With Patterns

If the primary furniture in your living room, such as your sofa, is a solid color, choosing an Oriental rug with a bold pattern can help to create interest. Pattern brings new energy and contrast to a space that provides depth and can help direct your eye throughout the room. This visual motion occurs as your eyes move around the pattern creating the feeling of energy. Without patterns, your space may lack interest.

The colors in the pattern can help you to select the color scheme in your space. An easy way to make sure everything looks cohesive is to match the secondary color in the rug to your sofa or other large furniture pieces, and the tertiary colors in the rug to accent pieces like curtains, toss cushions, or other smaller elements. Having a well thought out color scheme can transform a space and take it from looking thrown together to designer!

Bringing All As One

Patterns can allow you to create unity in your space. Bringing in elements from the rest of the room; whether through the color, shape, or lines within the design can help to form a cohesive decorating scheme in your living room. Reflecting elements throughout the room makes each item appear purposeful and establishes the feeling that the furniture works together. An example of this can be having a rug with a circular pattern and placing a round coffee table on it. This is a simple trick that can create cohesion and make the space look well designed.

The Value Of Material

Texture is a key element to creating a multidimensional space that looks well designed. Using high-quality materials in your space is an easy way to up the high-end appearance and bring in texture. Making sure the materials you are using not only improves the visual design but ensures that the product you have will hold up over time.

Oriental and Persian rugs are made of materials like wool and silk which are high-quality natural fibers. Not only do they add a visual appeal, but the feel also adds to the luxurious quality of your living room. Making it feel extra comfortable and luxe.

Wool

The pros of wool rugs are that they are amazingly high quality and durable. This makes them perfect for your living room and high traffic zones in your home. The stain repellent and water repellent qualities will help to keep the luxurious look over time.

Wool rugs also provide a great comfortable base for your living room. They offer insulating qualities, helping to keep your living room warm.

Silk

The pros of silk for a rug material are that it has a natural lustrous property that gives the rug a softness and subtle sheen. This luster is one of the things that makes it stand out. Giving it a luxurious feeling that is unmatched. It also offers greater detail in designs than just wool, but it is a better option for rooms with less traffic.
