So, what exactly is the purpose of an area rug? According to our in-house designer, Desiree Nasto, area rugs hold multiple purposes that can benefit you and your home.
Desiree is an expert designer here at Wenz Home Furniture. She obtained her degree from Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, which ensures that she is an adequately qualified designer. When we asked her why she aspired to be a designer, she said, “I love bringing out the highest potential a room has to offer. I want to make fashion meet function.” Desiree’s passion not only makes her a credible designer but also a reliable one.
Area rugs are commonly used for their qualitative properties and are mainly used as an accent in a room. However, area rugs carry a lot more potential than what they are initially used for. Nasto ensures that an area rug can also be used to soften a room, add warmth, and even absorb noise.
How is this so? An area rug will keep a room looking soft and warm, simply because of its texture. For example, if someone has a tile or hardwood floor, the room may appear to be colder or less welcoming. With the addition of a plush area rug, the room has a softer tone that creates a comfortable vibe.
It is a known fact that when someone or something is enclosed in a room with hard surfaces, that sound waves seemingly echo and multiply. Without the use of an area rug, these sound waves can amplify and migrate into other rooms. If someone wishes to hush the sound waves and enclose them in a single room, an area rug is one of the easiest routes to do so.
