Choosing an Area Rug

Choosing an Area Rug Is your living room looking a little, oh, I don't know, drab? Does it somehow feel incomplete? Or perhaps your dining room table just isn't doing the room justice on its own? Your apartment could be suffering from a rare condition known as Lackofrugitis. It's okay if you've never heard of it; the main thing is that you are now aware of it.
Lackofrugitis sadly affects one out of every three apartment tenants. The symptoms are clearly evident, yet most of those afflicted aren't even aware that they are suffering from it. Here's a checklist to help determine if you or someone you love may have Lackofrugitis:Cold or chilly feet A feeling of emptiness in the room Speech echoes Aching or numb backside when sitting on the wood floor for prolonged periods Lack of floor-based romantic tendenciesLackofrugitis is a serious issue, but it's one that can be treated. In order to beat this debilitating condition, you must take the only known cure for it--a new area rug.How to Measure the Floor for the Right Area RugBelieve it or not, simply purchasing a new rug won't cure Lackofrugitis. Choosing the wrong area rug can actually bring on a case of "Unevenroomatosis." In order to be completely cured of this affliction, you need to know the basics about how to measure the floor for the right area rug. An easy way to measure for an area rug is to take masking tape and frame an outline of the rug on your floor. This will give you an idea of the perfect-sized rug for your purpose. Once you have the tape down, use a measuring tape to measure the dimensions.If you have a coffee table in your living room, then you will want about a foot of rug visible on each side underneath the table. If you do not own a coffee table, then it is okay if the edge of the carpet fits underneath the front end of the sofa. "The ideal area rug should sit under at least the front third of the furniture that's located in the room," says Tim J. of Kepple's Carpet in Runnemede, NJ.
