Over the years customers have asked me many questions... "How do I pick out a rug?" "What do I look for?" "Where do I start with colors & designs that will look good in my home?" "What size rug do I need?"
I've been buying beautiful area rugs for over 20 years, but I realize that as a customer it may be your first time. Though it seems tricky, it's not! I've outlined a simple thought process which will take you through the steps of collecting your ideas & materials that will make selecting the perfect rug for your home EASY!
Area rugs can complement your unique style as well as provide functional comfort to a room. As you start the rug selection process, keep in mind how you will use the room. Be it formal, casual or cozy? Any food, kids or pets present?
World of Rugs goal is to creatively combine your lifestyle needs with your aesthetic tastes in placing rugs that contribute to the overall beauty of your home.

I. Imagine
Consider the floor your room's "5th wall", a large space to present a visual accent which captures your personality and your home's style. Not content with your current surroundings? By adding a rug you can completely alter the mood of any room with even small changes of color. Create drama with a color contrasting pattern. Do you have wood, stone or tile floors? By adding a rug with texture you can add comfort, warmth and get a little echo relief. Would you like to highlight a special area? Try changing the shape or size of a rug. For instance a round rug can further define a round table or a gathering area, these simple options are endless.
II. Gather
Start collecting fabric swatches, colorful pillows, paint chips, tile or wood samples, tear out magazine pages of room settings that inspire you, find items that have the look or feeling of what you want to create in your home. Record the dimensions of your entire room. Now measure out a minimum & maximum area that you'd like to see a rug cover.

Create Focus! If something seems to be missing in an otherwise well-decorated room, chances are an area rug will be your solution. I call it "giving focus" to a room setting. Rugs are a great way to add style, color or texture, tying the surrounding furnishings all together and creating a central focal point. If an area rug is on your wish list, don't be afraid to spend a little extra to get exactly what you want. Rugs are a wise investment, providing years of service and delight. Let my expert staff help you add the missing piece to your decorating puzzle.
Decorating a room? Use a theme that reflects something that you really like. A theme can revolve around a favorite city or country, a time period or movie, hobby, sport, animal, etc. The inspirations are endless. My favorite theme is The Elegant Isle... think cool breezes, a relaxed attitude and classic furniture in an open uncluttered space with calm colors. Thereby creating an environment in your home that transports you to a special place in time. Use a richly colored Tommy Bahama area rug as the finishing touch and Enjoy Paradise Underfoot!
