Simple Ways to Use an Indoor Rug to Make Your Home Cozy

As the weather cools off in the winter months, you’re likely to find yourself spending more time indoors. Snuggling up near a warm fire with a hot cup of hot chocolate is one way to get cozy when the weather turns frigid. A few home décor touches – adding a stack of books on your favorite bookshelf, throwing a few more throw pillows on the couch – can all add even more coziness to your home.

One of our favorite ways to add warmth to a home is with indoor rugs. Rugs are a must have in colder months, particularly if you have wood or tile floors, which can turn with the temperature. A warm shag rug underfoot can immediately warm up your feet and body.

Here are our tips for adding warmth to your home during the winter months:

Choose a large rug for large rooms:We’ve already said they’re a must for hardwood floors, but large rugs can even add to a feeling of warmth to carpeted floors. Choose a neutral pattern that complements your couch or if you’re décor is already neutral, try going bold with a darker color of rug or even a pattern.

Choose shag for a plush feel: A plush shag rug is great for sitting and reading a magazine with a cup of coffee on a cool morning. It’s a simple way to add a lush feeling, even if your design is minimalist.

Go with a neutral rug for a calming feel: If you’re interior design style is more patterns with loads of intricate style, adding a neutral rug will add a calmness to the room and blend seamlessly.

Choose a synthetic fabric if you have kids or pets that track mud: Rugs made of synthetic materials tend to be easier to clean. Many are designed for indoor/outdoor use.
