Stay Grounded
Picking out area rugs is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of options that I adore. I guess I'm most afraid of not being as in love with it a few years down the road as I was when I decided on "the one." Such pressure!
Area rugs are a great way to set the mood in a space. I am spending a lot of time searching for the perfect area rug that has just the right design, colors and functionality. Many components go into selecting the exact rug you want:
- Design or pattern
- Colors
- Texture and material to accommodate the amount of traffic on the rug
- How to clean
- Price to fit your budget
Should I be safe and choose a neutral or natural fiber rug?

Or go bold with lots of color and geometric patterns?
Or contemporary?
The Stockholm Rand rug from Ikea isn't something I would have considered off the rack, but it looks great in these interior decorators' masterpieces (IF you can find it in a store!):
Madeline Weinrib also has a similar rug to the Stockholm Rand, albeit at a higher price:
Or native, oriental or traditional?
What are your thoughts on the best rugs, and why?
Regardless of what rug I choose/you choose, it's good to remember to have fun creating your space and design it for you and your lifestyle!
