In the first part we at Wilson Fink Kitchens and Interiors tipped you how you can give your rooms a new look by following some rough codes.

4. How to Place Furniture on a Rug

If you have placed your furniture in the right way on a rug it can give your space luxurious feel, but it is observed that people usually do not pay much attention to such details. As a result, their spaces give a frugal look in spite of having striking fittings and furniture. Thus, one should learn how to place or arrange their furniture over a rug in order to enhance the look of their rooms. Generally there are three different ways to place furnitureon a rug which are as follows:

• All On: If you have a big room then there is no harm in placing the legs of your furniture over it by getting a big size rug, as it will give your room a lavish look. However, make sure that you should leave 12 to 18 inch floor surface at least on all sides of your rug’s border.
• All Off: In case you have a small room then, its best to keep the legs of your furniture off the rug. Therefore, such homeowners should find a rug that has an ideal size, as neither it should be too small that it look insignificant or too big that one should give it an afterthought. An ideal rug for such a room would be the one that will touch the front legs of the furniture. Such an approach looks even more smashing when pattern should be layered over a textured or solid rug.
• Front On: if you want to give a feel of openness then, best option for a homeowner is to put just the front legs of the furniture pieces in the room over rug. Such an arrangement will give your space a well-defined and tidy look.

5. Avoid to Be too Themey

It is often seen that when it comes to redesigning a room people love to use themes that are already quite popular. Using such themes not only gives your space a reprise and boring look, but they also lacks individuality. Thus, it’s better to give your room a unique look by using furniture, materials, art works and paint colour that you like the most. In this way, you will be able to create a look that is not drawn out of clichés.

6. Create Focal Point with a Star Piece

Just the way there are leading and supporting roles in a movie, in the same way there are supporting and leading furnishes in a room. The supporting furnishes are to make the star piece, focal point of the room, so it can draw every visitor’s attention instantly. However, avoid giving everything a leading role because otherwise it will become a visual clamour. Moreover, it’s easy to find a single thing that can draw attention rather than looking for various gems. You can use an unusual headboard, piece of art, a vivid hood in the kitchen as focal point in order to draw attention.
