Employing Mats to Keep Track Of Residence

Much like in fashion, the trends in home décor come and then go away very fast. Decorating and furnishing a home is a really large commitment. However, it is much harder to change out the overall look of your home to fit the pictures of other places that you have seen; that is unless you use area rugs.

Don't Spend Tons of Money

Home

There is a way to keep up with the current trends without having to spend an arm and a leg. Keep your furniture (or you can rearrange it) then switch out the area rugs. This is especially true when you have furniture with a neutral look. Then you can have many looks for your home - a different one each time - by merely switching out the area rugs.

Try the New Neutral

For years, brown that is dark or light beige, was the neutral color to use when decorating a home, but gray shades of gray are rapidly becoming the new favorites since these shades highlight color-blocking methods that have become popular. For a really luxurious appearance, pick a plush camel or gray run and the accent it with lamps that are metallic and a coffee table that is mirrored. And suddenly you have a very different look in your living room by simply getting new area rugs.

Add Some Color

Colors that in another time might have seemed excessively bright for a casual room, such as violet and coral, are now being used everywhere. So, rather than purchasing a large couch in one of these bright colors that might not be the trend in a year, use some color from area rugs. When that bright color is not the trend in a year - get another color for you. This is really a much less expensive solution.

Pale Shades

Pale and cool colors, such as light blue or muted lavender, can give your home the feeling of peace and are the latest trend both in the home as well as on the fashion runaway. So, instead of changing all the furniture, pick pale area rugs. But if you are planning to use pale colors, you will need to stay away from the black and white décor. Yes, black and white was popular several years ago, but the sheer starkness of this combination of color pairs much better with bright colors rather than light shades.

Change with the Seasons

By using area rugs, you are able to change the décor of your home when the seasons start to change. In the spring and summer, have a décor with cooler colors and in the fall and winter use warm colors. When Christmas comes around in December, you can have bright colored area rugs that match your Christmas decorations and your tree. With these, the décor of your home can be changed multiple times in a year and it is so much cheaper than getting new furniture.

Easier to Clean

This is one reason that area rugs are so popular and it is much easier to clean them than it is to clean wall-to-wall carpet. This is an asset if anyone in your family has allergies or if you have animal dander from your precious kitties or dogs. Your friends and neighbors will think you are the next Martha Stewart when all you did was change the area rugs.
