One of the simplest ways to make your hospitality or corporate office space stand out is to design around a bold statement piece. To this end, almost nothing works better than the perfect rug.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only can a careful rug choice soften your room\u2019s edges and bring greater comfort to the space \u2014 it can also set the stage for a visually interesting interior design that leaves guests and employees feeling inspired.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can get started today with our quick guide to using a rug as a statement piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

First things first: consider the size of your room<\/span><\/h3>\n

Before you go looking for the perfect rug design, make sure to consider the size of the space you\u2019ll be putting it in. Generally, statement rugs are large \u2014 it\u2019s a good idea to get them one or two feet shorter than the room\u2019s shortest wall. This will create a balanced look while ensuring your carpet does its job, stealing the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another option is to use a smaller rug to section off an area of a large, open room. This is especially effective in expansive lobbies and open-concept office spaces. In this case, choose a rug size that will give your new area breathing room without being overpowering \u2014 the right dimensions are heavily dependent on what\u2019s going on in the rest of the space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, consider this: If your plan is to be <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> bold with your new statement rug, you might want to opt for a slightly smaller size. Too much of a good thing can be visually overwhelming \u2014 if your carpet has a dizzyingly neon pattern, there\u2019s no need for it to cover the entire floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be intentional about your new rug\u2019s color scheme and pattern<\/span><\/h3>\n

When it comes to choosing the right colors and pattern for your new statement rug, a little understanding of human psychology can go a long way. In the residential space, it\u2019s often enough to just select the carpet that \u201cspeaks to you\u201d \u2014 but in a corporate or hospitality project, you want to make sure your design decisions speak to your <\/span>guests<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick the right statement rug pattern<\/span><\/h3>\n

We frequently see squares and rectangles, and for good reason. These common shapes often elicit feelings of reliability and strength, though they can sometimes feel too rigid for a creative space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Triangles, on the other hand, have the discipline of straight lines without the stability of right angles. Depending on how they\u2019re positioned, they can either make a pattern feel comfortingly secure (when upright and solid) or excitingly unbalanced (when reversed or tilted).<\/span><\/p>\n

As for circles, ellipses, and other soft lines? These are most associated with the calmness \u2014 and mystery \u2014 of nature. Spirals are known for creating a feeling of serenity, while abstract patterns often spark creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick the right statement rug color<\/span><\/h3>\n

The psychology of color is complex and often misunderstood, but you can still use it to your advantage when it comes to selecting the perfect statement rug.<\/span><\/p>\n

In general, warm colors like yellow, orange, and red elicit positive emotions like cheerfulness and excitement \u2014 but they can sometimes be viewed as unstable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool colors like blue and green, on the other hand, can make your space feel more connected to nature and increase creativity and contemplation \u2014 though their dependability can verge on boring.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how do you make the right decision? Carefully consider who you\u2019re designing for. Hospitality spaces often benefit from \u201csafe\u201d choices like blue, while corporate offices looking to increase employee energy might see results from something bolder like orange.<\/span><\/p>\n

And remember that color intensity can have an impact, too \u2014 there\u2019s a big difference between a toned-down maroon or a bright firetruck red.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose furniture and design details that complement your rug<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve found the perfect rug size, pattern, and colors, you can start bringing the rest of your space together. Choose furniture and wall art that complement your statement rug \u2014 it\u2019s a good idea to err on the neutral side of things so that your carpet doesn\u2019t compete for attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

You really can\u2019t go wrong with grays, tans, or solid-color furnishings that match a tone pulled from your rug. You can also often find abstract art that mirrors your rug\u2019s pattern to bring additional visual interest to your room\u2019s walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the big things like color scheme are decided, the rest of your design can take shape surprisingly quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n
