Rugs: The Secret Weapon in the Interior Designer's Arsenal by Carpetright.co.uk

PURFLEET, England, September 30, 2010 - A beautiful rug (www.carpetright.co.uk/rugs.html)
need not break the bank and is one of the simplest design elements available
to reinvent style in your home. Its virtues as a hero of interior style
combined with its more utilitarian purpose of softening a home's rough edges
make it the perfect flooring option whether you're searching for a flooring
focal point, decor accessory or practical flooring option. Whatever the
purpose, Carpetright.co.uk has hundreds of rugs available to deliver within 7
days.

For the past 10 years, laminate flooring (
www.carpetright.co.uk/laminate-flooring.html) has offered homes a
clean and contemporary flooring option and has been a focal point of interior
style. Yet a decade and an economic downturn later, people are no longer
turning to laminate flooring as it starts to look tired due to years of shoe
marks, spillages and scrapes. So what other style options are available to
freshen up your flooring?

Retro is currently on trend and we're told that 80s style is back and
bigger than ever. Carpets were the flooring of choice back then and we're
definitely seeing bold, bright colours and deep carpets make a return.
Whether a soft shag-pile carpet (
www.carpetright.co.uk/carpets/style-shaggy.html) or sumptuous wool
carpet (www.carpetright.co.uk/carpets/style-plain-wool.html), choosing
a carpet that adds indulgence and luxury to your room will benefit your
interior style needs.

In wet rooms, including your bathroom and kitchen, linoleum represented
style in the 1980s. Since then the flexible flooring solution has had an
image change, now better known as easy living flooring or vinyl
(www.carpetright.co.uk/vinyl.html), but still remains a popular
choice. Eminently practical and available in a wide choice of colours and
patterns, you're sure to find a vinyl solution to match your room.

However, for many people, the thought of re-flooring a whole room in
these cash-strapped times is not an option and another interior design
solution is needed for people with a niggling sense of domestic
dissatisfaction.

Rugs are the secret weapon of any interior stylist and can act as a
cost-effective flooring option for designers on a budget. Whether we're
talking about a recent makeover TV show or glossy style magazine feature, you
can guarantee they featured a modern rug (
www.carpetright.co.uk/rugs/style-modern.html) as an interior focal
point or a natural sisal rug complementing the tones of laminate flooring.

Choosing a complimentary colour can breathe life into cushions, curtains
and other soft furnishings while plumping for a high-contrast rug works
wonders as a style statement and accent colour. Whatever your style, a
well-chosen rug has the ability to either revitalise a room or revitalise
existing decor.
