Handmade rugs have durable texture
A 10x14 rug can highlight your room’s decor by fitting into the same color scheme, conveying your style, and helping to establish the room’s tone. As you start thinking about your home, keep in mind that your rug and decor should work hand in hand towards conveying your personal style. Once you have that as a main goal, you’ll naturally choose elements that bounce well off one another and give each piece a chance to shine.
When you’re decorating with a 10x14 area rug, you certainly have your pick of rugs. Just because this is a larger size doesn’t mean that you’re stuck with particular designs, color palettes, pile heights, materials, or other key aspects. Rest assured, you don’t have to settle-- you can find a 10x14 rug that truly is perfect for your home.
As you look for the 10x14 rug that’s just right for you, it’s important to consider some important areas.
Position: One of your first steps is to finalize your room’s layout and then decide where exactly you want to place your rug. Take these general ideas as a starting point.
Living Room: With rugs of this size, you’re likely using it to establish your main seating area. The rug will look most natural if it’s at least under the front legs of the chairs, but ideally, you should have it further under the chairs or even poking out behind the seats.
Bedroom: A 10x14 rug is often layered with your bed to accentuate the bed as a main focal point. Lay the rug all the way under the bed or most of the way beneath it so that it’s balanced with the size of the bed and the room itself.
Dining Room: If you have a particularly large dining area that seats at least eight people, then you can use a 10x14 area rug right beneath the table. As a general rule of thumb, you should have about two feet of rug on each side/end of the table so there’s plenty of room for the chairs to move around.
Outdoor: 10x14 area rugs are available as outdoor rugs as well so you can add style and practicality to your deck, patio, or porch. For layout ideas, look back at similar indoor spaces.
Material: The material of your rug is important in determining the rug’s texture, pile-height, durability, and ease of cleaning. Each material has its own pros and cons within these areas, so do your research to determine whether you want a wool rug, a jute one, or some other material.
Pattern: Within 10x14 rugs, you have your pick of patterns. Check out popular designs like modern, persian, oriental, shag, boho, Moroccan, and traditional or look for rugs that fit your personal style. Remember, your rug’s pattern should have similar styles/motifs to the rest of the room so that everything ties together thematically.
Color: Color is also key in unifying your room. There are popular colors like black, white, green, yellow, gold, red, and blue along with many others. Within that, you have choices of how the colors are combined, the pattern they’re displayed in, and what shades of color are used. Ultimately, your rug’s color palette should tie into the rest of the room and convey the same tone.
