Make an Impact with a Black Rug
A black rug is not a suitable flooring option for every room in every home but there are some styles of decoration where it could definitely give your room the edge. If you are hoping to create a room with a sense of drama then you might very well use a black rug to help you achieve it.
The most important thing to consider is whether such a rug would be too strong for your current (or planned) decoration. Yes, you want to make an impact but you do not want your rug to be the only thing that gets noticed when someone walks into the room.
If your current decoration is full of natural colors or pastels, then black rugs won’t do you any favors at all. They will have a negative impact rather than the positive one you were hoping for.
On the other hand, if you would like your room decorated in the monochromatic shades of black, white and gray, a black rug will be the ideal finishing touch. In these circumstances, you could opt for a plain black version with a lot of texture. A black leather or suede shag rug would be ideal. Alternatively choose a rug with a bold pattern or design incorporating one or two other colors along with the black.
There is no harm in adding black and white accessories to a monochromatic room, but make sure that you choose a bright color for at least some of them so that the room does not verge on being bland. Your plain rug will stand by itself because of the beautiful texture but the room as a whole needs a bit of color.
If you have colors in your rug, you can repeat the shades from it in some of your accessories so that the color scheme works. So, if your rug contains hot pink and turquoise, for example, you could add a couple of cushions in those colors to your couch.
