Using Purple Area Rugs To Spruce Up A Room

By Marsha Popkins

One of the more exciting and unique ways you can decorate your home or an area of your house is with a purple area rug. Purple is a color that has always symbolized royalty along with a bit of an exotic undertone that you can not really get with anything else. That being said, there is more than one shade of purple and finding the exact one to fit into your home's current themes or decorations can take a little effort on your part.

The first thing to really consider is the color of the rug, which is bold and will stand out. However, though the color will be your primary focus you need to consider the style and the quality of the rug. The style is especially important because it needs to work with the rest of the room without overwhelming it. It's a purple rug, so extra care must be taken in design. Also of utmost importance is the quality of the rug. You do not want to purchase a rug that will fall apart in less than one year. The best types to use in areas that you will get the most usage out of are handcrafted or wool-crafted rugs. Of course there are more materials that you can find them made of, such as cotton.

If you have the chance to shop at a store, you may want to measure the rug to determine whether or not it will fit in the room you are looking to redecorate. Additionally the store will have varying shades of purple area rugs on display, which will allow you to visualize how it will look in your home. Rugs will come in all shapes and sizes. The most common come in five by seven feet, or four by six feet. However, you can find circular shaped rugs or have your purple area rug custom made. Custom made rugs will fit any area and have any design to perfectly suit your space.

You can also find smaller rugs that can be put down in tight spaces or in front of a door, the kitchen sink, or even the refrigerator. You can use it to give your area that extra punch that you and your friends to find interesting.

Whatever the style and quality of the purple area rug that you will chose, make sure it fits you and your lifestyle. If you or a family member has allergies, it will be a good idea to purchase a rug that is hypoallergenic. - 29955
