Looking for a quick and easy way to spice up the interior of your home? Here’s a couple of home decorating ideas on how to use wool area rugs to change the look of a room easily and affordably.
1. Retro or Vintage Art Deco Theme – For apartments and homes that already have a vintage air, instead of trying to renovate, go with the retro look using a geometric shape carpet as a focal point in a living room, entry hall or even kitchen. A hall runner may liven up an entry with bright bursts of color. If your kitchen has old cabinets in some retro color, tie the room together with a carpet, either one large one under the table or small accent wool area rugs by the wash basin and entrance. An older style living room that may seem outdated may suddenly be a retro masterpiece with a large round area rug. Try Shag in a fun color or an art deco pattern that incorporates some of the odd shapes and colors that already exist. Retro and vintage are hot and a little accenting may make your home go from frumpy to fabulous without any paint or new furniture at all.
2. Animal or Natural Wildlife Theme – If your space is either chrome and glass and black and white or all rich wood, both are adaptable to having a touch of animal skin. Don’t confuse this idea with a mountain cabin retreat theme where a leopard skin or animal head carpet is spread before a fire. No. This is a modern idea to add a soft Serengeti zebra rug to a crisp space. If the furniture is modern, then add a black and white classic piece or a colored faux zebra shag rug. A touch of wild color in an otherwise black and white or neutral space will bring it to life. If the area is wood and rich textures, then try the luxurious orange or brown or red Serengeti zebra rug on the hardwood floor or as a throw over a footstool, or both. Add a few discrete animal or wildlife motifs to bring it together and you have a safari room without dead animal heads. The zebra shag rugs that are now available are made from wool or synthetic fibers. They are soft and cozy not hard and crunchy like an old animal skin.
