Red Area Rug
Red area rugs are available in a variety of different shades, patterns, styles, sizes and shapes to suit the decoration of your floor in a room that has been decorated in almost any kind of style. Red area rugs are a great alternative to wall-to-wall carpeting because they do not need to be installed and can be carried away to clean whenever required. They create interesting demarcations within a room to designate different areas of the room that are used for different purposes; they add an element of decoration to the often-overlooked floor without too much of a hassle.
What are Area Rugs?
Area rugs are floor rugs that cover a designated amount of floor space, depending on the dimensions and the shape of the rug. They are often used as a cost effective and convenient alternative to wall-to-wall carpeting, because they cover floor space without having to be inconveniently installed using a laborious and expensive process. They come in different styles and qualities to cover the floors in different parts of the house. They are very comfortable to walk on and make the floor much warmer during the winter months. They also protect the flooring from stains and damages – they themselves can be taken out and dry cleaned. Some area rugs come in washable varieties as well.
The Different Connotations of the Color Red
Styling with red area rugs can give a variety of different effects. Red area rugs come in a variety of different shades that all fall under the color group of red. Since red is a warm color, all these shades are extremely eye catching and attractive. A darker red, with hints of blue, go very well with traditional and sophisticated interior decoration and styling, suggesting power and opulence. A warmer red like vermillion suggests coziness and goes very well with a comfortably styled home. A bright true red suggests energy and youth and attracts the eye in the room. If you are using a brighter shade of red, remember that the room should have something else of a bright color so that the rug does not take away all the attention.
Buying a Red Area Rug
The first thing you need to do when you are looking for a red area rug is to determine where it will go and the dimensions of the floor it needs to cover. Once you know this, it will be easier to search for a rug. Narrow down the list further by looking for specific shades of red and added features, like rugs that are washable and so on.
