Use Hot Color Area Rugs for a Funky Bedroom

Some of the hottest trends in bedroom decorating include hardwood floors. If you live in the Northwoods as I do, carpeting is desired over hardwood floors because it is psychologically warmer if not realistically warmer. When it's snowing outside, people like to get up in the morning and put their feet on warm carpeting, but there are large area rugs on the market that are lush and plush. You don't have to worry about letting your feet get cold because area rugs come in any size you need to cover your floor comfortably and beautifully.

Area rugs come in every motif for the perfect bedroom. Do you like a floral pattern or is an artistic tapestry more of your style of decorating? There are some 100% angora wool shag rugs that will make your feet feel great and would look ideal in a bedroom. Shag rugs are back in style and are very thick and dense in construction. They are hipper than they were in the 60's, not your mom's old rug. Every color imaginable to go with any color of bedding is available. If you want a quick change in the bedroom, pick up a duvet cover over the comforter and this immediately changes the decor. Even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting, add an area rug on top of it in a contrasting color or great print to bring out the colors of your new duvet or bedspread. You can find an area rug at any price and some are not inexpensive. Flokatis are a fun example of rugs that come in hot colors. You can go even further when you change the window treatments and add a few new throw pillows. Before long, you will have a completely hot, hip new bedroom and you haven't spent a fortune or sacrificed warmth and comfort. You spend a lot of time in the bedroom, so make it yours, make a new statement and change your room often. It's fun and affordable.
