There are many reasons why area rugs are popular, and yet some homeowners hesitate to cover up their beautiful flooring.

Area Rugs for your Home

As we mentioned earlier area rugs extend beyond their ability to complement you home décor. Area rugs help to decrease the noise in your space. Not only does it make your footsteps quieter, but also helps to make the room itself more quiet and muffle and room that echo’s. One of the most obvious benefits is that area rugs are more comfortable than hardwood or tile. Not only is it softer to the touch, but that softness also gives flexibility where the rug absorbs the impact from your footsteps. Rugs are also warmer than hard surface flooring, which is a welcome benefit during the colder months here in Michigan. 

An area rug helps make your space feel more grounded. When properly placed, an area rug can anchor the furniture in your room which helps to create an intimate space. In your living room and area rug should be large enough that your sofa, loveseat, and coffee table are all either sitting or have their front legs on the rug. Although it may seem contradictory, carpet has a positive effect on allergies. Numerous studies show that rug fibers can trap allergens so you are not breathing them in. If you have no rugs in your home and suffer from allergies, try adding an area rug to see if there is a difference.
