Rug Blog, Blogs about Carpets That Will Make the Room’s Interior Decor!
Rug Blog – Great interiors aren’t complete without great rugs. Antique rugs can be conversation starters, statement pieces or supporting players that give an interior harmony and unity. These textural handcrafts absorb sound, provide structure and add a bold dash of color. Carpets are available in an innumerable assortment of styles that are as diverse as today’s interiors. The places and the ways that carpets are used and displayed are also endless. When hung on walls, rugs and tribal textiles create a splendid effect. Traditional Oriental area rugs and Persian rugs are just the beginning, however.
There are neoclassical and vintage rugs from Europe, Scandinavian mid-century rugs and stylish art carpets inspired by legendary modern artists. Use low-impact designs and light colored carpets to make rooms appear larger, or select bold, dark colors and intensive patterns to create a cozy, inviting effect. Great possibilities come from amazing rugs. Carpets really do make the room.
