Kavita Chaudhary, Head of Design at Jaipur Rugs Company, lists some more options on revamping your interiors with rugs:
* By popular belief, rugs are meant to be used on the floor under your furniture, but the new trend is to use them as wall art, especially semi-geometric patterns.
* Build the colour scheme of the room around the rug, pulling shades from the rug as colours for curtains, cushions and lamp shades.
* Don't be afraid to play around with different rug textures. When your walls and upholstery are fairly subdued, you can try a rug with embossed (high-low) effect, adding more depth and interest to the room.
Astha Khetan, Founder and Director of the House of Things.com, too have some inputs to share.
* A rug is one of the best finishing touches you can invest in for your interiors. The right one has the power to really bring a room together, add colour and comfort, define a space... transform it, even.
* Rugs have long been a signifier of luxury, offering warmth and underfoot comfort as well as texture and pattern. A well-placed rug can be used to divide spaces, define a mood, or simply showcase the art of tapestry across your floors. Here are some ways you can overhaul your interiors using this statement accessory.
* Layer a contrasting rug over an existing carpet to infuse texture and warmth. A smaller rug over a bigger one or a printed rug over a solid-coloured one would be ideal. But be wary of layering too many "warring" patterns in a room; the key is to complement the palette of the room.
* Use a rug as a focal point in a room. Pick a colour from the rug and reflect it throughout - in furnishings, art, or d?cor objects. It's easier to nip choices in a room to complement the rug, rather than the other way around.
* Use a patterned or animal skin rug as a wall hanging for a ski-lodge effect. Or drape over a plush sofa for a luxe yet romantic feel.
* Opt for a large rug with a soft feel underfoot to place under your bed to completely change the look of your bedroom spaces.
* Rugs aren't just for winter. Opt for a summer-appropriate soft update in calming hues, geometric pattern, or lighter texture to make your scheme work for the current season and beyond.
* In larger rooms, use an understated design with a border to ground the space together.
* Let the way you arrange your furniture dictate the shape of your rug - the assumption that a rug has to be a rectangle may keep you from experimenting with a wide array of choices available.
