Objects of Desire: Artwork Underfoot
Not every room can handle a bold area rug. However, patterned, floral or brightly-colored area rugs can be just the right design element in certain rooms.
A room that needs a focal point, for one. If you're looking to add life to an otherwise monochromatic, neutral-colored room, the right rug can be an underfoot canvas to be proud of.
Another good use for a bold area rug is as a grouping-tool for furniture. Say you have a large living room and you want to create a sitting area and a TV area in separate corners. Area rugs can give a wall-less room more definition, and help create the multi-use layout you're going for.
The rugs below, all from Home Portfolio, are both pretty and inspiring. Where would you place one?
