There are many reasons to turn to rugs when you’re decorating your living space.
They can add warmth and color, make a large room feel more intimate, soften a hard surface underfoot, muffle sounds, and much more. A new rug can be the finishing touch on a room refresh, or a key element from which other decisions are made. Rugs at Serena & Lily come in a wide range of beautiful patterns to suit your aesthetic, whether you love pared-down modern designs or stripes, dots, Suzani prints, and more.
Choosing the Right Rug for Your Space
Decide on the best size and shape, and you’re already past the tricky part. Most of the time in a living room, that means making sure your rug is large enough to accommodate furniture (all the legs of the display mantel or the ones in front of the sofa, at the very least). In a bedroom, going even further and having it stick out on either side and at the foot helps to create a soft, luxurious place to land in the morning. With a collection in varied dimensions and materials, our floor coverings set you up nicely.
Materials and Durability
The grandiose materials that will keep going in the weave at your feet are going to look incredible and pinch pennies over the long haul. Wool rugs are exceptionally durable, usually have a natural dimension of stain-repelling, and they feel so amazing on the feet. They will, in general, look and feel natural in a family room, parlor, or any truly lived-in space. Cotton rugs are likewise soft and typically look more decorative, making them an extraordinary choice for rooms or calmer spaces. Jute rugs veer somewhere between cotton and wool. They have an eco-posh quality about them, yet are entirely agreeable. Never as relaxed as a jute rug, yet still practical, is the old standby of synthetic rugs, for example, polyester or your workhorse polypropylene (which might be called olefin). All things considered, it’s sensational if the rug you pick is going to work in the room where you need to put it. Yet, it’s tremendously important that you consider how you’re really going to live in your room so that you can pick a lovely rug that will work well for you.
Adding Color and Pattern
A rug can anchor a room. Bold colors, patterns, and grids are made for primary roles; there is no more powerful way to assume center stage than with these statement rug designs. And for those rooms where furniture or walls feature bold patterning, a well-chosen neutral will quietly tie everything together. Feel free to reverse roles in rooms where the walls do the talking. Either way, there are plenty of Serena & Lily rug options for you.
Layering Rugs for Added Style
If you’re in the market for a modern look in your home, you might want to consider layering rugs. Placing a smaller, patterned area rug over a larger, more neutral rug creates more depth, texture, and visual interest. This is especially effective in living rooms or dining rooms, as it allows you to work with different materials, colors, and textures, while also defining specific areas in open-concept layouts. This type of design not only takes your space to the next level, but it also gives you the flexibility to redecorate your space in the future.
Rugs for Kid-Friendly Spaces
Kids’ playrooms and bedrooms can benefit greatly from a rug. Rugs are soft and plush under little feet, and they provide a spot for playing with toys and games. Parents will appreciate easy-to-clean materials like those that resist stains or spills. Kids’ rugs can also have playful patterns and designs that add some whimsy to a room or help spark kids’ imagination. All of these cool rugs for kids create a more comfortable space, but won’t compromise a stylish design.
Maintaining Your Rug
To maintain the look of your rug, clean regularly by vacuuming and spot cleaning as needed. For rugs in high-traffic areas, it’s a good idea to also professionally clean them 1-2 times per year. In the home, rotate your rug every 3-6 months to promote even wear on the surface and extend the life of the rug. By properly maintaining your rug, it will stay looking its best for one to many years.
Rugs are one of those things that can make the biggest impact in a room. And size, material, color, and function are all so important. You need your rug to not only look good, but be comfortable, and durable, and if you’re buying something made of great quality, you want it to really last. Whether you’re looking for an outrageous pattern that will turn heads or a texture that will ground a room, Serena & Lily’s collection of rugs has something that ticks all the style and usability boxes.
