Tips for Choosing the Perfect Rug

1. Consider the Room’s Purpose

• Different rooms serve different functions, and the rug you choose should reflect this. For instance, a calming blue rug might be ideal for a bedroom, while a vibrant red rug could energize a living room.

2. Harmonize with Existing Decor

• Look at the colors and patterns already present in your space. A rug should complement these elements, either by blending in harmoniously or providing a striking contrast.

3. Think About Size and Placement

• The size of the rug is crucial in defining the space. Ensure the rug is proportionate to the room and consider its placement in relation to furniture. A larger rug can make a room feel more cohesive, while a smaller one can highlight specific areas.

4. Texture Matters

• The texture of a rug can add depth and interest to a room. Handwoven rugs from Illuminate Collective offer a rich tactile experience, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your space.

5. Customization for a Perfect Match

• If you have a specific color scheme in mind, consider a custom rug. At Illuminate Collective, we work with you to create a rug that fits your exact needs, ensuring it perfectly complements your home decor.
