5 Tips for Decorating with Your New Sisal Rug

The way that your home is decorated should represent what you like and it is perfectly natural to want to change things up every once in a while.  You might tear the wallpaper off the walls, paint them or even decide to throw out the furniture and get new furniture.  There is one thing though, that is often overlooked and this one thing is both useful and it can change the total appearance of the room.  What is that critical item? Custom area rugs, such as a sisal rug.

Sisal is a fiber that is found in the Mexican agave cactus.  Rugs made from this fiber are both water and fire resistant.  That isn’t all though!  The way these rugs are made means that they don’t allow any type of dust particulates to adhere to them and if you or someone in your home suffers from allergies to dust, this is an outstanding benefit.  This is the ultimate way to change the appearance of any room while not breaking the bank or going into debt to do it. 

Let’s see how we can decorate with these rugs and get that new look.

1.       Layer it.  Many people might decide to put their custom area rugs on a hard wood floor or on carpet or tile.  There is another thing to think about though.  Sisal rugs are typically neutral in color but their borders can be any color you like.  Use a sisal rug as the base and throw a faux cow hide or leather on top of it to instantly get a brand new look.

2.       Color it.  Sisal rugs are actually available in a variety of colors.  You can even get them with a pattern.  You might decide to get a neutral colored one and then paint it.  This type of rug allows you to flaunt your personality.

3.       Protect with it.  If you have stairs then you may have a runner on them.  Get rid of that hard to keep clean runner and protect your stairs with a sisal custom area rug that you can have cut to the length and width of your stairs.  

4.       Make it the centerpiece.  A sisal rug can easily be the focal point in any room.  You can even choose to paint them and hang them on a wall like a tapestry.  When you get tired of that look, simply repaint it for the next look you are trying to achieve.

5.       Define with it.  Say you have a large room and it has 2 purposes.  Put a sisal rug on one side of the room and at the opposite side put another one of a different color to delineate the areas.

Decorating and redecorating is something that can be expensive to do.  It doesn’t have to be though if you use sisal rugs to do it.
