How to Pair Rugs with Your Furniture

There’s nothing like the smell of a new rug. Especially if it’s one you’ve had your eye on for a long time. The right rug can transform any room, making it feel cozy, warm, and inviting. It adds color, warmth, and comfort to your space, but more importantly, it defines the room itself. If you have furniture that is too busy or mismatched in color, the rug will help tie everything together by adding consistency and style.

Rugs are also great for bringing out the best in certain pieces of furniture such as chairs or couches. If you love those old lamps in your living room but they’re covered with ugly throw pillows from Target that match nothing else in there. You can try swapping out those throw pillows for some nice rugs instead.

But if you don’t know how to pair rugs with furniture in your home. You might find that the whole project ends up being more trouble than it’s worth. That’s why we put together this guide to help you choose the right rug for your space. Here are some tips that can maybe help you to pair your area with your modern furniture:

1. Know the size of your room
2. Think about how you want the room to feel
3. Choose rugs that go with your decorating style
4. Make sure the colors don’t clash
5. Give your furniture plenty of breathing room
6. Choose the designs that match with furniture

Know the size of your room

When buying a rug, it’s important to be aware of the size of your room. You can use this information to determine which style of the rug will work best and make sure that there is enough space between items in order for them all to fit comfortably. If you have items that are very close together, such as tables or chairs, then a larger-sized area rug will be necessary so they don’t seem crowded together.

For instance: if you have a 9-foot by 12-foot room with two windows on opposite sides, then these measurements would give us our ideal choices for rugs.

• 8×10 rugs would fit nicely underneath both windows without any extra fabric needed beyond what’s already in front of them. However, if we were purchasing just one 8×10 area rug instead because we wanted something larger than usual (and didn’t want our furniture touching each other). Then we could go with either size shown above. But take note that if there were going to be any extra pieces added later like draperies/curtains etc. Then those would need smaller sizes too.

Think about how you want the room to feel

When deciding on a rug to go with your furniture, it’s important to think about how you want the room to feel. Rug type and size will also play into this decision. For example, if you have wood floors, choose a rug that complements the wood instead of competing with it. Otherwise, the rug will make the room look cluttered, and cluttered is never good for any space.

The color and texture of your rugs should also complement what else is in the room and not clash with them either. If there’s already too much going on in terms of color schemes or patterns (like an all-white kitchen). Then getting rid of one or two items might help bring the focus back onto their intended purpose. If these are things that need constant maintenance due to spills etcetera. Then maybe they shouldn’t be used as floor coverings at all.

Choose rugs that go with your decorating style

Choose rugs that go with your decorating style. If you like modern decor, choose a rug with a pattern. If you like traditional decor, choose a rug with a solid color. And if you want to mix and match both patterns and colors, then pick out two different rugs for each room in your house. One for the living room and one for the bedroom. Make sure they’re very close in size so they look good together.

Make sure the colors don’t clash

Before you start matching your rugs to the furniture in your room, it’s important to first make sure the colors don’t clash.

There are several ways you can do this:

• Use a color wheel as an aid for choosing complementary and similar colors. A good place to start is by looking at the primary, secondary, and tertiary hues of each piece of furniture in your space. The next step is to choose two or three shades from this circle that will work well together so that when they’re combined with one another they remain harmonious instead of jarringly contrasting (like a red sofa next to blue curtains). If necessary, make sure there isn’t any space left between them before moving on. This can help prevent visual clutter while still giving off enough vibrancy without overpowering everything else around it.

Give your furniture plenty of breathing room

The first step to pairing furniture with rugs is giving your furniture plenty of breathing room. This can be done in two ways: by choosing the right rug, or by making sure that your rug doesn’t overwhelm the rest of your decor.

First, it’s important to choose a rug that’s large enough for all of the pieces you plan on using. You should never have a piece of furniture completely covered by another piece of furniture. If one area is too small for its own cushion, then it won’t look good when paired with another piece that takes up more space than necessary (see image below). On top of this, if one area looks like an afterthought compared to all other elements in an otherwise balanced composition, then there may not be enough balance overall.

Choose the designs that match with furniture

The best way to do this is by visiting a local rug store in person and seeing how they look. This can be helpful because there are many different kinds of rugs. This means that a rug might not look as good on the floor as it does in the picture. If you can’t visit any rug store, then go with an online rug store and check out some photos of rugs from different retailers (look for ones with similar styles).

You should choose a design that will blend well with your home furniture theme. For example, if you have a piece of modern white furniture, it would be best to go for an animal print rug or something similar.

You should also consider the color scheme of your living room when choosing which type of rug to buy. For example, if you have plenty of natural light coming into the room then it’s probably best not to choose any bright colors because they will make the space look darker than it is already (which could make things look smaller).

Conclusion

If you are looking for a rug to match your furniture, we recommend working with an experienced retailer who can help you pick out the perfect one. And remember that there’s no wrong way to do this. After all, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about creating something beautiful.
