How to Select a Rug for Laminate Flooring

Choose a smaller rug in a soft hue to highlight your floors. Using a tone on tone method with hues from the flooring can draw the eyes to the floor. Avoid bright or bold colors and patterns. You could use circular rugs and put them in the middle of the floor, or a small rectangular rug under just the coffee table.

Choose large rugs to downplay the floors. These rugs will need to coordinate very closely with your furniture. If the room is very busy, then the rug should be a neutral color and remain in the background. If the furniture is dull and you want the rug to make a statement, choose a bold color or pattern.

Make a bold statement with your rug by turning it into the focal point of the room. Choose a rug with bold patterns and colors to draw the attention of the eyes. This rug can be of any size, but make sure it fits the theme of the room.

Bring out the furniture as the focal point by toning down the rugs. Subdued patters and colors will not take away from the furniture, but cover your floors.

Choose a rug that compliments the décor of the room. If the décor of the room is loud and busy, then play down your rug. Having competing patterns and décor will upset the balance of a room.
