If you sometimes feel that your living room is missing a final touch to make it complete, perhaps an area rug is the answer you’ve been searching for. At The Quarters Apartment Homes, our spacious living areas can accommodate rugs of various sizes and shapes, and while choosing a rug may seem like a simple task, there are many different factors that may affect your purchase. For starters, not only are there a huge variety of materials and piles to choose from, but rug prices can range anywhere from twenty dollars to several thousand dollars.
Here are a few important considerations to keep in mind when purchasing an area rug for your Lady Lake apartment:
- Color – Based on the décor and color palette of the room, choose a carpet that will fit nicely with the existing style. You may also want to try a contrasting combination, in the event that the room is mostly decorated with neutral shades and you want to add a bit of vibrant color to your living room.
- Pile – Pile is the soft surface of a carpet that is composed of a number of small fibers or threads, and is another important factor when it comes to choosing an area rug. High-pile carpets tend to look fluffier and feel softer, but are best for low traffic areas, while low-pile carpets are not as soft, but are flatter, better for high-traffic areas, and are easier to clean.
- Care – Each rug has different requirements for its care and cleaning, and you should keep that in mind when selecting your area rug. If you feel like maintaining a dry-clean only rug would be too much effort, many natural fiber or polypropylene carpets can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, carpet shampooer, and occasional spot treatments.
Armed with this advice, you’ll have all you need to select a gorgeous area rug for your living room.
