Say Hello to spring with a floral rug

As regular readers of FrithRugs blog posts will know, a well-chosen rug is the perfect anchor for your interior design scheme.

As Spring has now officially arrived, our rug interior experts want to shout about the benefits of bringing flowers indoors and celebrating the fabulously floral. 

Now we understand that using florals can be a bit scary but our tips about how to use floral rugs in your interior design scheme should allay any apprehension you may have.

A floral rug will be the focus of your room and it’s nice to celebrate the arrival of a new season with something that reflects the environment outside.   A floral rug, depending on which pattern and colourway you choose, can work well in both a modern and traditional setting and so let’s take a look at the floral rugs FrithRugs can offer.

Don’t play it safe

If you look at any striking interiors online you will find that the look is achieved by NOT playing it safe.  For those of you who are happy to make a bold statement, have the confidence to be innovative with patterns.  You can clash florals – for example, a floral rug, floral curtains and floral cushions.  However, for this to work, keep your furniture neutral – so your sofa and chairs chairs should be in one colour block.

Modern floral

Getting the right style at home comes with experience but our tip is to paint your walls and ceiling a crisp white and then select a floral rug.  You can highlight the colour of the rug in accessories such as lamps or artwork.  You will be amazed at how this will give your room a cool, contemporary feel.

Shabby chic or country cottage

If you select a floral rug with small rather than large flowers, you can achieve a shabby chic or country cottage mood.  Small florals will work well on hard wood flooring and in a room that has natural wood furniture and pared down accessories.  Choose a pale colour from your rug flower and use it as the accent shade for your other pieces.

There are no real hard and fast rules when it comes to using florals.  Like all interior design styles, it really comes down to personal choice.  However, when looking for that perfect floral rug to bring the outside in, you will find a great selection at www.frithrugs.co.uk, including exclusive designs that you won’t find anywhere else.  From big, bold blooms to more delicate flowers, say hello to the spring/summer 2019 interior season with flowers.
