Being Happy With The Outcome Of Purchasing Discounted Area Rugs

By Rhea Solomon


One of the fastest and most economical ways to transform the look of a home is with discounted area rugs. There are many reasons this may be desired such as a recent move to a new house, significant home improvements, a sense of blandness in one specific room or simply boredom with current home decor and a desire to spice things up a little. Furniture, artwork and greenery are certainly helpful but nothing quite ties an entire room together as a unified space like a well-chosen rug.

In any kind of home decorating, care should be taken a sense of synergy is created. When purchasing a floor-covering, the first piece of information that will be essential is what size or sizes will serve the area best. Custom sizes may be created for the most perfect fit if desired but when price economy is a factor, knowing commonly available sizes will be of great benefit.

Rug dimensions vary greatly but the most easily found include: 12 by 14, 9 by 12, 8 by 10, 6 by 9, 5 by 8, and 4 by 6 foot carpets. Shapes may also vary from square and rectangle to circular or oval. To draw attention to a central feature such as a coffee table, a smaller rug may be used. To provide the most unifying effect, a larger rug should be chosen.

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.

Just like the styles and sizes, prices can have a broad range depending on location, store and quality of material. Knowing one's budget from the beginning will help determine where to look. A basic internet search or the browsing of a local shop will offer a good starting place to help one get an idea for what is available

The more room-specific a rug is, the more difficult it can be to successfully transfer to a future home or office space. To allow for a more flexible and long-lasting use of a floor covering, it is important to match it to the furniture and styles that will likely remain consistent. If the focus is on the enjoyment of the specific style and colors rather than the perfect room fit, more potential exists for future use.

In our times, many more options are available for this kind of purchase than there once were. It isn't always necessary to search out a specialty rug shop and often this will bring higher prices. Quality products can be purchased from department stores, home improvement stores and even local classified advertisements.

In order to feel completely satisfied with the purchase of discounted area rugs, the most useful advice is to plan ahead and know clearly what one is looking for. Shopping around, being open to well-maintained used items and taking the time to search out store-wide clearances, close-out sales, online discounts and local vendors will give the most opportunity for the shopper to be happy with their purchase both immediately and over time.
