A traditional rug is a way to get an actual color in your room while still creating a very formal kind of space. You could use this in a dining room, living room or even a bedroom. Put it under a
classic desk for a classic office. You can put your own personal spin on this just by the color that you do choose to go with and can go along with
classic furniture.
A navy rug is going to be very dramatic in color. In this kind of space you might run into a lot of wood tones and lighter colors so you'll really have this as the focal point of your room. This is a really great way to decorate with a more expensive piece because it is going to get noticed.
If you went with a light blue this could be more casual. You also want to get that elegant feeling by making sure that you go with a traditional pattern such as an Oriental feeling. The really great thing about this is that it does blend the best of both worlds. This can be a little bit different than the rugs that most people are going to have in their homes. It allows you to create a very subtle, calming and soothing environment that still brings in very subtle color. For this kind of room you could just use soft greens and tans to create a very natural kind of effect that is gender neutral at the same time.
You can also bring in trendy items and just make sure that they are a little bit more lasting just by combining a new color with a classic kind of style. For instance if you went with a basic floral pattern in something more daring such as a chocolate brown or teal then this could be very transitional in styling. This is a little bit less formal than traditional but a little bit more so than just a basic contemporary kind of style. This allows you to marry all different kinds of furniture in your home.
