Decorating with rugsCirca-Rug

Make a bold statement

Rugs are an essential accessory for decorating or updating your look – they can instantly add colour and drama, create a focal point, or even tie the rest of the elements of the room together. Impact can be achieved without using pattern, such as selecting a strong colour or thinking outside the square with a bold round shape.

Define space in a room

No matter what size your room, a rug can help define different areas.

This bold round rug unifies the disparate items of seating and occasional pieces into a cosy conversational grouping, and its shape mirrors the round table in the dining area to create harmony in the room.

A large open space with a monochromatic colour scheme could seem cold or uninviting But with a textured silver/black rug you can add warmth and draw the seating together for a more intimate feeling. Milenya-Modular-sofa-Zanzibar-rug

Add visual interest

Patterned rugs add visual interest to a room, particularly if the surroundings are neutral. They can also form the basis for your decorating theme but be careful to select accessories that complement the rug pattern. The zigzag embroidery on these cushions echoes some of the design elements of the ethnic-inspired rug.
