brighten up your life: a look at colorful area rugs

We have been told to express ourselves our entire lives - and yet somehow so many of us end up living in spaces that do not reflect our style or tastes at all. Too frequently we see clients locked into design choices that limit use of color or force them into super specific color choices that choke out creativity and personality. Don’t get us wrong - we definitely love a good monochromatic color scheme in the right setting, but there is nothing like a bright pop of color to boost your mood, create a conversation, or give your space the friendly, warm vibe you might have been missing

Interested in bringing more bright color into your space? Not only are bold, colorful rugs a hot trend, they’re statement pieces that can easily overwhelm your space or YOU if not done carefully, but don’t be afraid of bringing color into your home - you absolutely should! 

Color directly affects the tone and vibe in your home, but the right color can elevate and stabilize your mood, create focus and purpose, and reflect your true self. Like we mentioned in the last series, matchy-matchy home décor is a thing of the past. The current trend is to overlap colors, styles, textures, and patterns in a way that promotes creativity and harmony.

Maybe you have an old credenza you want to paint a bright shade of persimmon, or an emerald green couch you’ve been eyeing but been afraid to commit to. There are countless ways to incorporate color into your home, and you don’t have to limit yourself to just one bold choice or color.

Want to instantly elevate the mood of your home and create a friendly and inviting environment? Try a bright, bold area rug in a warm color - think oranges, yellows, reds, pinks - that compliments your current surroundings. Or paint a piece of furniture a brilliant pop of color and find a rug that compliments it so it can do the talking.

We are talking about C-O-L-O-R, so ditch the greys and neutrals and let’s look at some dazzling colorful area rugs!

Infusing your home with color can be a bit intimidating if you are used to neutrals. The best way to ease into color is to work around the neutrals you already have in your space. If you have neutral furniture and walls, you don't have to overhaul everything to brighten up your home.

We love these bold, colorful spaces that utilize color beyond just the rug.
