Let area rug be a piece of art

Grand Rapids, Mich. (WOTV) - A room’s “fifth wall,” the floor, can showcase dramatic area rugs that are so breathtaking in color and design, they’re like works of art. And rugs can change the feel of a room in mere minutes—so you can do a room makeover on your lunch hour. Rugs look beautiful layered over carpet, adding warmth to tile, or contrasting with traditional hardwood or laminate.

In fact, the rug industry looks directly to those fashion and home interior trends to develop innovative products. You’ll find high style and up-to-the-minute colors in the area rugs we offer.

No matter what your tastes, décor, or preferences are, we can help. Standale Interiors offer area rugs that come in many different styles and designs, so it’s easy to find the right look for you. Here are a few tips to get you started—because it’s important to know the major decision points in shopping for this exciting purchase:

Color. Light-colored rugs make a room seem airy, while darker styles create an intimate feeling.

Pattern. If you are looking to create a focal point, opt for bold colors and more active or ornate designs. But if a rug’s purpose is to quietly complement existing décor, a solid color or subtle pattern works best.

Durability. In a room with heavy traffic, a solid, dark rug works best to disguise wear and tear. For an heirloom that will survive generations, invest in a rug with timeless design and sturdy construction.

Today’s area rugs fall into three chief categories—contemporary, traditional, and transitional. Nature is an important influence, affecting both design and color palettes.

Contemporary rugs have been gaining popularity each season. Their clean, modern aesthetic makes them a good choice for an avant-garde look that showcases your unique style. Current trends are graphic patterns, tailored geometrics, abstract designs, and organic shapes with a hand-drawn appearance.

Traditional rugs convey a sense of the timeless and elegant. They’re usually based on classic patterns, many of which date back centuries. Lately, however, they’re incorporating more casual and modern elements, making them appeal to transitional and even contemporary rug shoppers.

Transitional rugs tend to be the most popular of the three style groups, because they’re the most versatile. They have a casual character that works well with many kinds of interiors. Silhouetted botanicals and florals are prominent in transitional rugs, together with scroll and damask patterns that offer traditional styling with an informal air. Simple solid and tone-on-tone patterns sometimes combine with high-and-low yarn heights to offer texture and complexity.

Custom area rugs are really less expensive than you'd think and can really add drama to your room.  Select a vibrant, colorful wool carpet and custom design the shape to fit your room!  It will be bound at the factory and can be delivered to your home in less than 3 weeks!

Have fun, be brave and bold because this is 4 you!
