\nIf your fall schedule includes a move to Cary, NC apartments<\/a><\/a>, you may find yourself in the market for new furnishings and decor.<\/p>\n

Beautiful rooms begin with a beautiful foundation, and the right rug can make or break your space. With so many choices available, how can you find the perfect floor covering for your needs?<\/p>\n

Choose the Best Look<\/h2>\n

Area rugs can have a significant impact on the overall look and feel of your room. If you see a beautiful rug during a shopping excursion, consider holding off on purchasing until you check a few important parameters.<\/p>\n

Start by thinking about the color that will work best in the intended location for your rug. If your room includes a narrow color palette — consisting of one main color — you may want a rug that matches. Alternatively, a neutral color may work. If you want a rug with multiple colors or an interesting pattern, choose the rug first, then select complementary furnishings.<\/p>\n

Texture also matters when it comes to choosing the perfect area rug. If you plan to mix textures among furniture, throws, pillows, and draperies, look at rugs that offer a contrasting texture. For example, a fluffy rug may pair well with a leather sofa, while seating that uses softer fabrics may look best atop a smoother floor covering.<\/p>\n

Get the Size Right<\/h2>\n

Before buying an area rug, make sure you know the dimensions of your space. As a general rule of thumb, plan to situate your rug at least 6 inches — but preferably no more than 2 feet — from walls.<\/p>\n

Area rugs should span your seating area, with all your furniture ideally on top of the rug. If you need to purchase a slightly smaller rug, you can compromise by ensuring that the front legs of your sofa and chairs fit on the rug.<\/p>\n

If you plan to use a rug under your dining table, you’ll want to make sure chairs stay on the rug even when pulled away from the table.<\/p>\n
