Adding an area rug to a room is a great way to add a bit of color and make the space feel a bit more interesting, but it’s so much more than that. People don’t realize just how much difference a rug can make and how it can transform a room in a lot of different ways. These are some of the amazing benefits of using area rugs in your home.

Added Warmth 

Keeping your home warm is always a priority but in some rooms, it can be tough. Hardwood floors are a great feature but they’re also very cold in the winter. However, if you want to keep your home cozy, just add an area rug. Having a thick rug in the center of the room will stop your feet from getting cold when walking on the floor and it will also improve the temperature in the room as a whole. You lose a lot of heat through cold floors but a rug will help to absorb some of that heat and keep it in the room. Even though it’s a small change, it makes a big difference and it’s a lot cheaper than installing underfloor heating. 

Extra Comfort 

Even in the summer, when you don’t have a problem with cold floors, hardwood flooring isn’t the most comfortable thing to rest your feet on when you are trying to relax. That’s why having a nice thick rug near the sofa is always a good idea. When you are learning how to choose a rug, you need to research pile thickness so you can decide what level of comfort you want. You’ll be surprised how much more welcoming your rooms feel when you have a nice area rug on the floor. 

Noise Reduction 

If you want to stay on good terms with the neighbors, it’s important that you don’t make too much noise. Unfortunately, that can be tricky when you have hard flooring. Wooden or tiled floors make a lot of noise when you walk over them and that noise carries throughout the house and beyond. This can be frustrating if you have hard floors upstairs because anybody that is sitting downstairs can hear every step. The easiest way around this is to put area rugs down in spots that get the most foot traffic. They will absorb the impact and most of the noise, so you don’t accidentally disturb the neighbors. 

Reduced Allergens 

If you have allergies, you know how difficult they can be to live with and it’s important that you find ways to keep allergens to a minimum in your home. But a lot of people don’t realize that rugs are a great way to do this. When you have a rug on the floor, a lot of the allergens that would normally be floating around in the air get trapped inside the rug. As long as you vacuum the rug on a regular basis, you can remove those allergens and you should notice a big difference to your symptoms. 

Rugs aren’t just there to look nice, they have all of these other benefits as well, so why not get some in your home?
