Purple Rug : Unusual but Useful
Purple is an unusual color in home decor, and is generally not found in most rooms and places. In fact, there used to be a time that purple used to be called “Royal” meaning that only those with royal blood were allowed to wear it. Although this time is long gone now, it is still not widely used.
Purple area rugs are therefore a little hard to come by. The color, as such, is attractive and tends to brighten up a room, especially a well lit one, but because it does not find many takers, most stores do not stock a huge purple rug selection. In fact, a deep rich purple that is almost indigo is even more difficult to come by than a black rug.
In some ways, the color is a little overpowering, but that is the reason why many people choose purple rugs. A small 6×4 rug may be sufficient to add impact to your floor, where otherwise you would probably have had to use a 10×10 rug if you had chosen another color. In fact, because of its bright color, using a full sized rug in plain bright purple is not advisable; it is better to put in a smaller one and then you can focus light from a lamp on it to give brightness to the rest of the room. You might also like to think about purchasing a purple shag rug rather than a flat texture; there is nothing else quite like it.
Although a deep purple color is a little hard to come by, lighter ones are quite common with a number of varieties of rugs with variations in the shade. In fact, colors like mauve and lilac are often used as part of interior decorating as part of a color scheme either as a main color or to bring out another contrasting color in the room.
If you look on the Internet, you will see many ways a purple rug can be used and you will find a number of themes that can be replicated in your home. You could also use the web to check prices and find out the best place to get these rugs, because as mentioned above, these colors are a little hard to come by. Most of the online stores offer a welcome discount on their store prices and ship free, and considering that you will be spending anywhere between $100 and $500 or even more, every little bit helps.
