Getting The Most From Discounted Area Rugs

By Rhea Solomon


A simple decision such as purchasing discounted area rugs can play a major role in affordably changing the look of any residential or office space. Any significant change in environment such as a house or office move, home improvements or additions, a sense of boredom with one's interior decor or a change in one's taste up can be enough to create a need for the purchase. Plants, art and large furniture items offer a good base but will seem most complete with a well-chosen rug or carpet to tie it all together.

Creating a sense of synergy in one's interior decoration can be done with some attention to which size floor-covering will offer the desired effect. Custom sizing is certainly available for more precision but when trying to be budget friendly, it is most suitable to choose commonly available options. Often a range of sizes can be successfully incorporated into a room.

Typical dimensions include but are not limited to (in feet): 4 x 6, 5 x 8, 6 x 9, 8 x 10, 9 x 12 and 12 x 14. Rugs may also be round or oval in shape. It is suggested to look for a smaller size to accent a small area under a coffee table or to go with something larger to create a similar feel as carpet.

Each home typically contains one or two styles of decor that should be accented by the floor-covering in order to create a harmonious feel to the space. Contemporary or modern rugs suit a very clean cut decor with strong lines, whereas more traditional rugs can fit a broad spectrum of spaces.

One can expect prices to range greatly between stores and to increase with the size of the rug. Therefore, it is important to know what price range is ideal and to proceed from this point. An easy way to get a feel for price availability is to browse online rug stores and local retail shops during one's spare time.

Another factor that can be considered in order to get the most out of this purchase is the potential for flexibility. One can ask the question, "Will this rug work only in this room or can I use it again in the future?" When a piece of decor is highly specific to one room, it becomes difficult to reuse. The key here is to choose styles and sizes that can go in a variety of places and to match it to the furniture instead of the room.

It's no longer necessary to search out specialty shops. These will usually offer higher than comfortable prices. Home improvement chains, local department stores and even classified ads are valuable resources.

To get the most satisfaction from discounted area rugs, one should always plan ahead and know clearly what they are looking for. Spur of the moment purchases don't equal quality long-term investments. Shoppers can find great deals by being willing to consider buying used but well-maintained items, seeking out large store clearances or closeouts and finding worthwhile online discounts. Following these tips will offer the consumer a fulfilling sense of satisfaction with their purchase.
