How To Decorate With Area Rugs By Design 
Area rugs can set the tone in the room. Contemporary, rustic, and traditional rugs are used as focal points in a room to draw your eye to a specific area and define the space. You are making a statement claiming the area around the rug is a dining area, or office space, or living room. In addition, you are stating which style you want to project, from modern to eclectic.
                                                                            

How To Decorate With Area Rugs By Direction
You probably never realized how much your hall and entry runners direct the flow of traffic to and from one place to another. A rug seen at the end of a long entry into another room will actually pull you into that visually.

Area rugs claim the space. They say this space is transitional, or childlike, or feminine, or serious. They make us feel a certain way. A blue rug may be calming where a red rug might make you feel awake and vibrant. They tell us about the people that inhabit the space. Graphic designs might make you think of the people as artsy and creative, whereas rugs with toy trains and teddy bears might tell you this is a small child's area.
