Rugs: The Secret Weapon in the Interior Designer's Arsenal by Carpetright.co.uk

PURFLEET, England, September 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- A beautiful rug (http://www.carpetright.co.uk/rugs.html) need not break the bank and is one of the simplest design elements available to reinvent style in your home. Its virtues as a hero of interior style combined with its more utilitarian purpose of softening a home's rough edges make it the perfect flooring option whether you're searching for a flooring focal point, decor accessory or practical flooring option. Whatever the purpose, Carpetright.co.uk has hundreds of rugs available to deliver within 7 days.

For the past 10 years, laminate flooring ( http://www.carpetright.co.uk/laminate-flooring.html) has offered homes a clean and contemporary flooring option and has been a focal point of interior style. Yet a decade and an economic downturn later, people are no longer turning to laminate flooring as it starts to look tired due to years of shoe marks, spillages and scrapes. So what other style options are available to freshen up your flooring?

Retro is currently on trend and we're told that 80s style is back and bigger than ever. Carpets were the flooring of choice back then and we're definitely seeing bold, bright colours and deep carpets make a return. Whether a soft shag-pile carpet ( http://www.carpetright.co.uk/carpets/style-shaggy.html) or sumptuous wool carpet (http://www.carpetright.co.uk/carpets/style-plain-wool.html), choosing a carpet that adds indulgence and luxury to your room will benefit your interior style needs.

In wet rooms, including your bathroom and kitchen, linoleum represented style in the 1980s. Since then the flexible flooring solution has had an image change, now better known as easy living flooring or vinyl (http://www.carpetright.co.uk/vinyl.html), but still remains a popular choice. Eminently practical and available in a wide choice of colours and patterns, you're sure to find a vinyl solution to match your room.

However, for many people, the thought of re-flooring a whole room in these cash-strapped times is not an option and another interior design solution is needed for people with a niggling sense of domestic dissatisfaction.

Rugs are the secret weapon of any interior stylist and can act as a cost-effective flooring option for designers on a budget. Whether we're talking about a recent makeover TV show or glossy style magazine feature, you can guarantee they featured a modern rug ( http://www.carpetright.co.uk/rugs/style-modern.html) as an interior focal point or a natural sisal rug complementing the tones of laminate flooring.

Choosing a complimentary colour can breathe life into cushions, curtains and other soft furnishings while plumping for a high-contrast rug works wonders as a style statement and accent colour. Whatever your style, a well-chosen rug has the ability to either revitalise a room or revitalise existing decor.
