Exploring
the Understated Elegance of Plain Rugs
It’s easy to understand why many people would assume that
plain rugs are really nothing special.
After all, having the word ‘plain’ in the title might seem
like a bit of a giveaway. But in fact, plain rugs can be a superb addition to
any room in your home, offering a sense of understated charm that the more
intricate rugs simply can’t match. Let’s look at a few reasons why plain rugs
might just find a home in yours.
Adding to a
room but not drawing focus
When you choose to add a rug to any room, there’s a moment
when you decide between a plain rug and something that makes a statement. If
you go with the latter, very often you’ll find that the rug becomes the very
centre of the room – which is exactly what you want sometimes. But for some
rooms, the rug simply needs to add a touch of tonal colour, and that’s exactly
why plain rugs are a great choice. They don’t steal focus, only add to the
scene.
Consistent
texture
While patterned rugs can really turn a few heads, it’s tricky
to get a completely consistent texture, at least with certain materials. The
reason for this is that multiple yarn types are often needed to be woven into
the rug to create the design, which can disrupt the uniformity of the surface.
Again, this isn’t the case with all rugs, but certainly for a select few. With
plain rugs, however, you never need
to worry about the texture consistency, whether you’re talking about wool,
chenille, polyester or any other material.
A
simplistic sense of charm
Ever feel like you want to get back to basics? For many
people, that’s what interior design is all about. So if you’re looking to
create a minimalist tone in your home, you can’t go wrong with plain rugs. With
a gentle, understated charm, the plain rug really is the workhorse of the
floor-covering world. Even better, plain rugs come in a huge range of colours
and materials – so you can create the look you want without going overboard on
the busy details.
