Not surprisingly, shopping for area rugs is similar to shopping for art. You don't really need either, but a beautiful rug, like a beautiful painting, can be a major addition to a room. I needed several area rugs to define spaces in my recently remodeled home. So off I went to Aga John, a wonderful rug showroom in Los Angeles. Having done business with Aga John my entire design career, I had high expectations of finding suitable rugs there. And I did! I found a deep red rug for the living room to convey the richness of the space and a small rug in the entry to pull out the deep blue of the adjacent drapery. I was thrilled when I returned home and put them in place....it was like adding the last pieces of a jig-saw puzzle.
Rug buying, like buying art, is typically a "love at first sight" experience. If you aren't sure it probably isn't the right rug for you. Continue to look and the ideal rug is usually right around the corner.
