Accent rugs are special floor rugs designed to accentuate a room -- But how is this done?

Accent rugs are a special kind of floor rug that have been designed to accentuate the colors and design of a room. Some owners of accent rugs have even taken to hanging theirs on the wall. Whichever way is best for you, you will find these small floor rugs can add a whole new lease of life to a tired room.

Using accent rugs is an excellent cost effective way to totally reinvent a room. Choose one of these special floor rugs to suit your style, you will find that many contemporary rugs make a good choice as they have just two or three main colors. Choose one or two of these colors as your main scheme for the room. You can then use the remaining colors for complimentary items such as cushions, curtains and lamps.

Accent rugs are a great way to break up a large room, especially those with unexciting large area rugs, into smaller functional areas, such as those used for dining or relaxation. Using these colorful floor rugs to create these small themed zones allows you to define the boundaries for each area, as well as create the right mood and atmosphere. This effect can be further enhanced by using some well chosen lighting.
