Making the space transition

There are many uses for rugs throughout your home one of which is creating a transition space between open spaces and doorways. With more homes where we live being built with the “Great Room ” concept it opens up the possibility to decorate. One of the main things is to keep the flow from the kitchen to the family room and not to box off the room with furniture that would defeat the whole purpose of the “great room”. Our home has this transition space between the kitchen and the family area that is hardwood leading to the carpet. We found that using two contemporary rugs that had the various colors of the room and darker colors to bring out the hardwood flooring was a great piece to have in between the two rooms.
This one small decorating touch has almost added a social space so that when we have friends and family over they hang out in this area so that you are right near the food and snacks but still close to the TV and other people that may be relaxing on the leather couches. So if you are trying to find a piece of furniture that might help to fill a void in a room, try looking at todays contemporary rugs with their great designs and colors to fill that void.
