Creating a Pinterest-Worthy Aesthetic With Area Rugs
If you are one of those people who doom scrolls Pinterest or Instagram for hours on end looking at those gorgeously decorated houses, you are certainly not alone and we are right there with you. Now, if you have looked at those pictures and thought my house could never look like that — that could not be further from the truth! You can achieve this gorgeous aesthetic by doing a few things and one of those things is using area rugs — yes, area rugs. Let’s get you started on transforming your space with area rugs!
How To Use Rugs To Create The Aesthetic You Want
Choosing the Right Area Rug
The first step in your rug venture is finding the perfect one for your space. Consider the size of your room, the colours in your current decor and the style of the space you are trying to create. An area rug can really help to ground the room, making it feel more complete and connected, while smaller rugs just add that element of fun in a small space. Serena & Lily has an amazing variety of rugs that fit many tastes, whether you are trying to create that perfect coastal feel, bold bohemian vibes or modern-day chic!
Layering for Depth and Texture
Taking your style up a notch, why not layer your rugs? An easy way to add some depth and texture to your room. Our suggestion is to throw a patterned rug on top of a simple or neutral rug to really make the rug stand out. Another idea is to add colour or patterns to enhance the room. Whatever your style is, the options of what you can do are endless.
Colour Coordination
Colour is a huge part of making that Pinterest-worthy room. You want to make sure your area rug goes with your walls and furniture. But here is a fun, zany idea: why not just choose a colour that might contrast the colours in your room while complimenting it to make it stand out? Just like the colour that was used on our walls. Your rug is your canvas; make it — you! Have fun and choose colours that are an extension of you!
Define Your Spaces
If you have a large space, break it up using area rugs. Place a large rug in the living room to create a visual boundary between the living room and the dining room. It feels like a little piece of heaven for your feet! There is nothing better than rubbing your toes into a squishy rug. Wouldn’t you agree?
Add Personality and Fun
Most importantly, let area rugs do the talking for you! Express yourself with your rug choice! From a flirty pattern to a vintage find to the most minimalistic piece you have ever seen! Rugs give a personal touch to your room and they are the perfect complement to your killer furniture! Mix and match with your other decor choices for the ultimate personal style statement!
Maintenance Made Easy
In addition to making a statement, area rugs are functional! They are a beautiful piece of art that also has a purpose. Area rugs absorb sound + protect your floors from inevitable damage. They also happen to be REALLY easy to clean and maintain. Vacuum on a regular basis and set up a professional cleaning every once in a while to keep it looking brand new.
Area Rugs For a Gorgeous Space
It’s all about those gorgeous rugs when creating an aesthetically pleasing Instagram-worthy home. Yes, they seem small and innocuous — but trust us, they are like the wind, understated, but their effects can be felt. So why not do you and your home a favour by checking out Serena & Lily and what they have to offer in the way of rugs?
