Choosing the Right Area Rug for Your Gainesville Apartment

If you’re looking to spruce up your living room or another room in your apartment, an area rug is always a wise choice. Area rugs can be a great addition to the décor of your apartment and can also serve a functional purpose by protecting the floor beneath it from damage. While simply purchasing a new area rug may sound simple, the abundance of choices and the measurements necessary may complicate things. However, buying a new rug should be an enjoyable experience and there are some things you should consider before you make your purchase.

Before you go to the store, it is a good idea to take exact measurements of the room where you wish to place the rug. This will ensure that you don’t waste your time and money buying a rug that’s too big or small. It is good practice to outline the exact spot on your floor where the rug is going. Simply put down some masking tape and outline an ideal size. Then you can take the measurements of your sketch and look for a rug to match.

There are several different types of area rugs to choose from, including handmade, woven, and flat weave. These types of rugs require different care and go with certain rooms better, but with all this variety, you will be sure to find a rug that complements the décor in your Gainesville apartment.
