Magic rugs have been part of the fantastic culture of various ancient peoples such as the Persians, Indians, Chinese and even in biblical history. The most famous of all the stories that speak of a flying carpet or rug is found in “The Thousand and One Nights” where the protagonists of these short stories traveled in them facilitating their movement from one place to another, even some rugs came to have consciousness or life of their own becoming authentic characters.

We know that magic rugs do not exist, but real rugs can add magic to our home spaces and transform a living room, dining room or bedroom into a place with style and personality.

And it is that decorating with rugs is a practice that comes from centuries ago and still continues in our time, it will never go out of style. Because in addition to completely changing the appearance of any floor, framing areas, dividing spaces, and connecting home décor, a rug also reflects lifestyle.

That is why we are going to know some practical recommendations from decorators and connoisseurs of the rug universe that will help you choose the best option, as well as the kinds of rugs that exist due to their shapes, sizes, and textures.

 

MONOCHROMATIC OR SINGLE COLOR RUG.

If the intention is to highlight the furniture, a flat color rug is the most recommended. For this, tones must be used that generate balance and harmony between the floor, the furniture and the lighting. For example, a dark tone highlights, an intermediate tone balances and a light tone hides.

It is recommended to do a photo essay to determine the final result.

GEOMETRIC FIGURES.

They combine very well with any type of space and produce visual balance.

In the children’s room they are a good complement that help to demarcate areas such as the bed, the desk and the toy cabinet, they also become a fun and playful element of decoration.

Choose simple shapes like rhombuses, triangles, and even circles with bright colors.

CONTINUOUS OR PARALLEL LINES.

Mats with these characteristics help to generate a spacious effect thanks to the convergence of the lines at the vanishing point. That is why it is recommended for the main room because it makes it look bigger than it really is.

Try to go for neutral colors so they don’t compete with your bed linen.

TEXTURED.

Long pile rugs are ideal in spaces that require privacy and where perceived cleanliness is essential. In the main bathroom it works very well and in neutral colors such as slate gray or sand tones.

It also has a good application in the study or living room.

RUGS IN THE KITCHEN.

It is not usual to find rugs in the kitchen. Some people use them on plastic materials that repel water and their use is limited to the dishwashing space or food cooking area. However, a very colorful rug located in the breakfast area or bar-type table helps to give a touch of life to the entire kitchen and highlight the furniture.

IN THE HALL AND CORRIDORS.

A mat also welcomes all your guests. On the market, they are available in elongated or horizontal shapes, ideal for hallways and corridors, which, apart from decorating, also serve to create a path that connects with the other areas of the house.

WHERE TO START?

Regardless of whether or not there is a total carpet that covers the entire floor of the house in your home, rugs are an essential element of decoration that will always be in force.

Identify the areas where you would like to place a rug. Analyze the type of furniture, the movement of people on that particular point, is there a lot or little circulation? How is the color of the walls? Imagine how it could work.
