1. Color
There are many Oriental rugs to suit any color scheme. Many countries that export Oriental rugs have expanded their color palettes to meet Western tastes. You will find the right rug for you, no matter what your preference is, whether it’s a traditional rug or one with a modern twist.
Also, consider whether you prefer contrasting or harmonious colors for your Oriental rug.
Harmonious colors will reflect the overall tone of your room. To tie everything together, make sure the rug demonstrates at least one of the colors in your room.
Contrasting colors are also possible, but be careful not to make them clash with other colors in your room. Polar rugs can make a great addition to rooms with neutral tones.
2. Design
The design of an Oriental rug may be less important than the color. A room with a dissonant pattern will still look good if the colors aren’t clashing. However, it is essential to choose the right design to enhance the overall aesthetic of the room.
There are many design options available.
Curvilinear patterns are often intricate and floral-inspired. Curvilinear rugs can enhance a room with elaborate decorations.
Geometric designs are best displayed in minimalistic, Scandinavian-inspired rooms.
A repeating design is one that has a single motif or multiple motifs and is repeated throughout the rug. You have a lot of flexibility when it comes rug placement because the design is consistent from all angles.
Centralized designs are characterized by a single central motif. These designs are best placed in the middle of a room because of their symmetry.
The rug has both horizontal and vertical designs. Oriental rugs need to be viewed from a certain angle in order to achieve the best effect. These rugs can be placed in a variety of ways, so it is best to place them where they cannot be seen upside down.
3. Size
Last, consider the size of your Oriental rug. The rug should be allowed enough space to not be overwhelmed by other furniture in the room. A large carpet may require more space than a smaller rug. A smaller room can have a larger rug in a less cluttered area.
You now have the information you need to make the right choice when shopping for an Oriental rug.
