Why you need an area rug

I recently did a post on how to pick an area rug, you can read it HERE.  Shortly after that I received a message from a shy follower saying that they have been without a rug for 3 years, she's too nervous to buy. 
What if it's not right? 
What if it's not perfect?
I say JUMP RIGHT IN !
 Ask the store what their return policy is and if it doesn't work - return it. I've worked with several stores that will let you 'borrow' an area rug, they keep your credit card number on file and if it's not returned in the agreed upon time, they'll charge you the price of the rug.

Take a paint swatch, fabric sample, wood floor sample and anything else that may influence the colours & type of rug you choose.

Take a look at these before & afters, you can see the
 finished look an area rug provides.

YES, area rugs are an important, a necessary element to your decor.
