Day 5: Accent Rugs

Decorating with accent rugs is one of the easiest ways to revitalize, update and beautify any room in your home. They are a great way to add color to an otherwise neutral room. Designers often use them to create a focal point or define a certain area of interest.

They add visual and physical warmth to hard surfaces like tile, stone or concrete. A more functional use for rugs is as a protectant to not so resilient flooring like hardwood.

Accent rugs are also used to pull the design elements of a room together. They are helpful in breaking up the monotony or defining separate spaces in a room.

They can also be used to blend together the hues and colors of other rooms in the home, creating a cohesive overall design. And they are especially useful in blending, complimenting and creating colorful harmony with any room's accessories, artwork and furniture.

Most importantly, an accent rug does just that, it accentuates the floor. Whether you are seeking fun and color in the kids room, a snappy statement in the kitchen, a sophisticated new look in the bathroom, or a cozy and comfortable addition to your master bedroom an accent rug can transform the room with minimal effort and expense.
