Often in theme driven rooms, like the study, office or even children’s rooms, where a combination of colours play a huge role in flaunting the personality of the space, there is a demand of a modern luxury rug design.

Some rugs are made of light reflective polyester that which give the illusion of a shade change under different lighting. This feature in the modern rugs gives them a luxurious and rich look. These rugs are showstopper elements in the room.

The designs can be soft- like curves drawn on the carpet and various hues splashed on them; or they can be sharp, as in geometrical patterns of lines cutting and intersecting shapes and figures on the rug. Either can be the epitome design feature in the room it is kept in.

Shaggy rugs qualify as luxury rugs too. Modern and stylish, these are usually available in one single tone, made of 100% wool.

Spruce Your Living Up With Novelty Rugs

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

If you change rugs seasonally, then this summer should be something special for you to brighten up your room. This is a modus operandi normally done by our ancestors to change rugs seasonally. Our great grandmothers do this in order to increase the life of rugs. Also to give warmth to our underfoot as novelty rugs do not go well in winter and vice versa.

Cotton rugs, choir rugs and bamboo rugs are most often used during summer seasons as they have a cool feeling on your foot when the weather is extremely hot outside your home.

Jeff Banks Rug PC50 300 Spruce Your Living Up With Novelty RugsOur home is one of the best modes to express our style of living. Nowadays many people use a mix of accessories to brighten their room. Especially during summer as vacations are on and the number of foot falls increase in every home. To modernise your room, concentrating on the floors is the very first option.  With many colors and styles to choose from, finding a summer rug will not be a tough option for you, but billing the one that matches your floor will definitely be the toughest decision to make as it depends on your artistic sense. The rug might look splendid in the shop but when its placed on your room it might not have that exact appeal as the environment in your room has to go well with the rug. Here are some tips for selecting novelty rugs for your home.

Color

Colors play a great role in emphasizing your floor and it also depends on your personal taste. Most connoisseurs build a room by starting from the floor. Based on the floor they concentrate on walls and furniture. So it’s important that your floor is bright and decorative. If your room is small and if you want it to look big, then go for light colored rugs. If you want to load your room with luxury, then go for dark colored rugs.

Design

Novelty rugs might have the quality that pleases your foot on a hot day. But it’s the design that will please you and your guest’s sight. With an array of design available, its better you go for one which carries its material in the design. For example if you select a bamboo rug you can go for a design that carries bamboo structures as it will give you the warmth of a bamboo exactly.

Size

When you plan for a summer rug never plan a size that covers your entire room. Because during summer you need to have your foot wander between the rug and the floor for better comfort. So plan for a size that you wish to cover with your furniture and not the entire room.

Price

Every shopping plan gets terminated when it comes to price.When you plan for novelty rugs plan for a final budget. If your budget is big then you can go for handmade rugs, if you have a small budget you can go for machine made rugs. The fibers used and the manufacturing process determines a rugs price.
