1. Focal Point
If your room feels drab or dreary you can use a contemporary area
rug to create a focal point and bring your room to life. The rug
itself becomes the focal point in the room so it should jump out
and bring attention to it. Choose something to accent your room
colors or go all out and change your entire color scheme. It won't
cost you a lot more. Just choose window coverings and pillows that
compliment the colors in your new area rug. Be sure to stick to
contemporary styles with your pillows and window coverings.

table, a baby grand piano, or another piece of furniture you want
to accent. By placing the appropriate size, shape, and color area
rug under it your eye will be drawn to the area.

and play doe you can spend a great deal of time staying on top of
it all. Why not kill two birds with one stone. Jazz up the kid's
room while at the same time protecting the original carpets. Older
kids love to get involved in decorating their rooms so sit down
with them and plan out a theme. Maybe they have a favorite cartoon
or character, maybe they love the color yellow. It doesn't matter!

even notice the scuffed walls or piles of toys.

an entire new look. Add some color and pizzazz and let the room
speak out. Choose from round, square, oval, rectangular, or octagon
rugs in a variety of sizes.

or romantic atmosphere try using a contemporary area rug that has
muted and rich tones. Make sure it compliments the original rug.

cover up most of the floor space leaving only a one or two foot
edging around the outside.

fun rug. Looking for a formal serious mood try choosing an area
rug in muted neutral tones.

underneath and they are very popular with hardwood floors. They

no wall, you can use a contemporary area rug to accomplish this.

area, then choose two large vases with huge silk flower bouquets
to set on the edge. This will create a definitive division to which
the eye is drawn and the rug will be the main attraction.
