Purple Area Rugs Impart Elegance and Richness to a Room

If you want a stunning, yet warm living area you may want to consider spicing up your decor with purple area rugs, or even a round red rug.  Some people are naturally hesitant about adding bold colored accessories to living areas, however given the right decor they can sometimes be just what is needed to liven up an area.

A purple area rug does not have to look garish; to the contrary a deep, rich shade of purple can actually be very elegant when surrounded by the right accessories and furnishings. Naturally it is important that the rug matches furnishings and window treatments and that it is set on the right type of flooring. It is actually relatively easy to color coordinate using purple as one of the main colors in a room without it looking overdone.  If you do want to set a purple area rug down it is important that you have some other purple items around the room in order to give your room some consistency however you do not want to overdo it.

Some things you could do is add a vase of purple flowers in a couple of spots around the room.  A nice painting on the wall that has the same shade of purple as your rug somewhere in it will also offset your rug nicely. Other colors that blend well with purple include all the shades of pink and light blue.  Green goes very well with purple, so green fabric curtains or furniture covered with green fabric would blend in well.

If you decide on a red area rug instead, complement it with burnt orange and gold, browns and other earth colors. Again, scatter items around the room that either match the shade of the rug or that go well with it.

Do not be afraid to use bold colors when decorating. If used properly they can greatly enhance the overall appearance of a room.
