subject: Quick Floor Improvement With Area Rugs [print this page] Whether you are renting or you've just bought your home, if you are not comfortable with the flooring pattern or color, you can actually change it with area rugs.
If you're not happy with your flooring but can't do much about it, perhaps because of a limited budget, a rented apartment or a too busy schedule, area rugs can give you the change you're looking for. The assortment of colors alone is enough to give your living space some variety.
The color of the area rugs can be based on the existing colors in the room, especially if you're not really doing any major renovation. Add more colors for a more vibrant look by incorporating the chosen hue in the throws, cushions and/or curtains.
This is a very inexpensive way to change the look of a room very quickly. Just make sure that your area rugs have colors that you like and that can pull in the colors of your furniture. This will allow you to hide the floor you don't like, and give you a comfortable space.
As with colors, there are also different sizes from the size of a regular doormat to the 12 or 14 feet in width. You can even cover an entire floor with a large area rug.
And remember, one of the best things about investing in area rugs is that you can resell them, roll them up and store them for a use at later time, and they are usually easy to clean.
When you put down flooring or tiling, you cannot resell it. In other words, it has to stay there until you're so tired of it you cannot stand it or you have to purchase complete new flooring, and pay the price of installing it.
Area rugs are a great way to change the look around. Remember, while it does seem that it is an investment, it's a movable investment. In other words, if you tire of your large area rug, you can actually roll it up, and put another one down, and use the old one in another room to cover up carpet you don't like, or to store to bring out at a later date.
Shopping online will also bring you to sites that sell beautiful and affordable area rugs. Although there's the shipping and handling costs to think about, the convenience of merely having to wait it out until your rugs arrive is worth it. Better yet, there are online stores that offer a discount for shipping rates or some have promotional offers for free shipping.
If you're worrying about how to properly clean an area rug, they usually come with specific instructions. Or you can bring your piece to a cleaning center or dry cleaners.
