Color your Space

Since we have already discussed the summer color trends of 2009, I want to reiterate the importance of color in rooms. When buying a rug you are always looking for a certain feel and or appeal. Here are a few tips to help you create the type of space you have always wanted with certain rug colors.

- To make a room appear smaller or cozier, use warm colors to bring the room inward.

- Dark colors and warm colors advace.

- Cool colors recede. So with these colors you can make your room look larger.

- Dark floor coverings make the floor seem smaller, it also defines the edges of a room and draws the eye downward.

Those are our handy tips on color and space for the day.

Stay tuned for the fall color trends of 2009.
