What better way to bring warmth into a living room than with a pretty, colourful rug? Autumn is the perfect time to add a cocooning touch with a coloured rug to your home before the cold weather returns. We’ve come up with a few ideas for decorating with rugs to bring some cheer into the home.
Rugs have lost their central place in homes in recent years. A carpet can quickly become a nest of dust. The carpets of yesteryear were not always easy to clean and had taken on an old-fashioned connotation.
Fortunately today, new materials mean that carpets are easy to clean and suited to today’s tastes. The fibres are fine and the appearance of the new carpets goes very well with modern interiors.
How do you coordinate a colourful rug with your interior?
Whether it’s Ikea, La Redoute or any of the other carpet brands, colour is making a strong comeback in living rooms. A beautiful wooden table and a bright living room will feel warmer with a touch of colour. The coloured rug will add a warm note to the living room and won’t clash with the rest of the decor.
Pastel shades, or shades in harmony with the rest of the furniture, will bring softness to home interiors. Colour charts and a wide choice can help you find the colour that best matches the rest of the room.
If the walls are white and the furniture light, a splash of colour on the floor will add a cheerful tone and liven things up. If the walls and furniture are already brightly coloured, a lighter rug will bring light into the room.
Layered focuses on colourful carpets
Swedish decorating brand Layered is also banking on the return of coloured carpets to the home. Layered is experimenting with colours such as yellow, green and coral. The carpet has an original shape with wavy edges. This range of rugs is environmentally friendly, using sustainable materials.
Scallop rugs are available in soft blue and raspberry, tones inspired by Copenhagen design. These colours work well with wooden floors and furniture, adding warmth and comfort.
