Area rugs are designed to cover only a portion of a floor. Whether that portion is carpet or wood an area rug can cover up a flaw or give a room a whole new look. 9×12 area rugs can assist in shaping a room and when made to match the décor the effect can be quite exquisite.
Shaping a room by using an area rug of this size can be accomplished in the case with rooms that do not have any separation. For example, if your dining room and living space are combined then you can place the rug in front of the sofa and entertainment center in the living space to better define that particular area. These larger rugs can be works of art and add to the overall décor of the room. A more functional reason to use a 9×12 is in the case of renters who are not allowed to change the flooring. They can use the larger rug to match their living space and cover up old carpeting and still give a sense of design to the room.
Matching an area rug with your living space especially one of this size is not as overwhelming as one might think. With all the different patterns and colors, where do you begin? Keep a couple of general ideas in mind when choosing your rug and you will do just fine. Darker colors tend to add warmth to a room where lighter colors will open it up and give it more space. When redecorating a room start with the bottom and work your way up. Find the rug you like that fits the feel of the room and then decorate around it. It will make the rug the focal point of the room.
Originally area rugs in general were made for functionality and comfort but now-a-days they have migrated to design and décor as well. 9×12 area rugs can exquisitely open up a living space, make it functional, comfortable and elegant.
