Are you looking for a place to put your new handmade rug or
carpet? Maybe you want a soft base for your floor, a décor piece to match your
room setting, or a piece of artwork that brings color to your home?
Whatever your reason for choosing a handmade rug or carpet,
you'll be amazed at how much you can do with a good rug. Handmade carpets are
well designed, durable, have the finest stitches, and can be placed in every
room of the house.
However, they’ll look much better when placed in the right
location. So, where should you place your rug or carpet for the best effect?
Here are 4 places where handmade carpets look best at home:
1. The Living Room
Of course, the living room will be the first place you’ll
think of placing a carpet. Whether it’s a full-sized carpet or a smaller rug,
the living room is the ideal location. Handmade rugs have great designs that
can add color to any living room.
A full-sized carpet can be placed on the floor area of the living
room to provide a soft and comfortable base. They also look more “homely” and
can give your living room a warm feeling.
If you have a smaller rug, then it’s best to place it in the
center of the living room. You can even place it under a coffee table or
partially under the furniture.
2. The Bedroom
Some carpets may have the same effect in the living room but
will stand out perfectly in the bedroom. For example, unicolor rugs and carpets
look perfect when placed in the bedroom. Just make sure the carpet's color
matches that of the bedroom décor.
A professional décor tip would be to go one step further and
match the carpet color with the color of your bedroom walls, bedsheet covers,
and even decoration pieces!
Gabbeh Rugs, Oushak Rugs, and other high pile rugs are more
suited to the bedroom as they are softer and more comfortable.
3. The Hallway
Placing a rug in your home’s hallways is a great way to create
an “elegant” look. You may have noticed that many luxury hotels and older homes
use the same method. While a handmade rug in your home’s hallways won’t turn it
into a 5-star hotel, it does have a royal effect.
Kilim Rugs, Runner Rugs, and other longer handmade rugs fit
perfectly in the hallways as they are non-slip and can handle high foot
traffic.
4. The Barambah or Balcony
Lastly, you can always place a carpet or rug in the Barambah
or balcony. Outdoor rugs are specially designed for this setting and look great
in the sunlight. They are also designed with UV-resistant dyes, making them
ideal for placing outdoors.
However, make sure you don’t use regular handmade rugs
outdoors as sun exposure will cause the rug to face.
