Modern Rugs to Complement Your Living Room

Apart from looking fantastic, modern rugs can bring so much more to the look and feel of your home. A well-chosen rug can completely change the ambience in a room, from dark to light or cold to cosy. Not only that, but did you know that rugs can be good for your health and wellbeing?

Clarkes Carpets is a family-run business, and we’ve been providing our customers with beautiful flooring since 1968. We’re specialists in carpets and rugs, and we understand the benefits they can bring to a home.

Make all the difference with a modern rug

Add Warmth and comfort

Contemporary rugs provide a simple way to turn a cold room into a warm and welcoming one. Wood and laminate floors are hugely popular, and provide an attractive and stylish surface. But sometimes a large room with a laminate floor can feel a little bare and uninviting.

Adding a deep and luxurious modern rug will instantly create a feeling of warmth and comfort. It provides a visual focal point for the room, as well as something soft and comfortable to walk on.

Complement your decor

There’s a misconception that if you live in a traditional house, you can only use traditional rugs on your floors. But one of the joys of modern rugs is that they can look gorgeous in any setting.

Interior designers know that a mix of classic and contemporary styles can be used to stunning effect. So whatever the style of your home, don’t be afraid to be bold.

Add a touch of elegance

When the decor is subtle and restrained, it can occasionally leave a room seeming rather flat. It may be smart and it may be contemporary, but it’s missing that touch of something special.

Your floor provides the ideal canvas for that final finishing touch. And modern rugs provide the perfect way to add a new dash of elegance to your existing style.

Did you know?

It used to be thought that because rugs and carpets trapped dust, they were bad for people with allergies. In fact, rugs act as filters, keeping allergens out of the air where they’re more likely to be inhaled. Then as soon as we vacuum, they’re gone.

So not only does a modern rug look stunning on our floors, but they’re good for us, too!

Choosing a New Rug

When choosing from the huge range of Clarkes Carpets modern rugs, there are three key points to consider:

If your decor is already busy with lots of furniture and pictures, a rug in block colours may be best.
In the same way, vibrant patterns and colours can add zest and pizazz to rooms with muted decor.
In a room that’s already full of colour, subtle or neutral shades are often work wonders.
