How to Decorate for the Holidays with Area Rugs

You have decorated your tree and adorned the house with colorful lights inside and out.  You may have even wound a bunch of garland around all of the staircases.  Your home looks like it is almost ready for the approaching holiday season, but it seems like you are forgetting something.  Oh, have you put out the area rugs yet?  While the ones that you have out during the year might do the trick, they have simple patterns and don’t exactly explode with the holiday look.  Now is the time for some seasonal rugs.

Tips for Choosing the Right Rugs for the Holidays

 

·         Surely you know by now that there are a few general “rules” when it comes to area rugs.  Some of them have to do with size and this is important for holiday decorating.  In your dining room, the rugs need to be large enough to provide ground cover for the table and all of the chairs.  When it comes to chairs, the rug needs to be large enough so that even when people back the chairs up to get up from the table, they don’t get off the rugs.  When it comes to living rooms, you might want to consider anything under 9 feet by 12 feet.

·         Don’t be afraid to be bold when it comes to colors and patterns.  The holidays are known for unapologetic frivolity and ostentatious displays.  For this reason, don’t be scared to use designs that are boisterous.  Remember that the goal is to be celebratory and festive.  Consider kicking things up a notch and break some of fashion and style rules at this time of year.

·       Think about colors.  If you celebrate Christmas then think about red and green while if Hanukkah is your thing, you might want to stick with the traditional blue and white. 

·        Choose fibers that are durable.  If you happen to be hosting some holiday parties, your rugs will be seeing much foot traffic.  They may even be the recipients of snacks, dips, chips and drinks dropped or spilled on them.  Keeping that in mind, natural rugs like seagrass, sisal and wool work well for the holidays.
