Rugs: Transitional Area Rugs

DEFINING TRANSITIONAL RUGS

Transitional area rugs stand between traditional and contemporary rugs and boldly encompass the two. Unlike contemporary rugs, their designs are evidently classical, but unlike traditional area rugs, designs acquire new meaning through usage of bold colors and sharper lines and styles. The transitional area rug encompasses a large array of designs, motifs and styles. They are a good blend of the ancient and the modern, the traditional and the contemporary, and herein lies the special appeal of transitional area rugs. They provide original interpretations of floral and classic designs and when combined with modern senses of color and motifs they provide unique accents to your room.

Transitional rugs integrate the floral and botanical patterns of a good old traditional rug with bold lines and colors of impressionistic art, giving us the best of both worlds.

Consider a room in a traditional home that has or seeks to have modern furniture; a transitional area rug easily pulls together all the design elements of that multi-hued room and seamlessly gives it a sense of style that is neither ancient nor modern but a perfect blend of the best of the two. In such a scenario, neither an ancient rug from Persia nor a contemporary rug from Andy Warhol collection would have done the job; only a perfect blend of these two worlds, the transitional area rug, can truly and simply bring the two design elements of such a room together.

Floral and botanical patterns are good examples of transitional area rug elements. These were the chief elements of traditional designs, and, being too directly beautiful and realistic, therefore not falling within the concepts of impressionism, are conspicuously absent in contemporary artwork.  Yet transitional rugs integrate the floral and botanical patterns of a good old traditional rug with bold lines and colors of impressionistic art, giving us the best of both worlds.  Some of the best of such designs are to be found in Sphinx Generations collection and in the Soho collection by Safavieh.

All Oriental Weavers rugs are produced with design, value and color as the top priorities. Since there are a number of colors that you can choose from, you definitely need some advice on how to choose the right shade for your interiors, right? Truth be known, the color of the area rug can easily set the entire mood for a certain section of the house. If you want to brighten up a space and have that open feel to it, then its best to choose lighter colored rugs. However, if you are looking for a rug that would help you create that cozy, intimate ambiance, a darker contrast would add just the right touch.

To help you choose the perfect Sphinx rug, you need to take into consideration a number of key factors. This includes the size of the space as well as the kind of mood that you would want to create. This would normally depend on the room where you want to use the area rug. For instance, an area rug in the kitchen would naturally require a fun and cheery design. You also need to select the accent colors from your existing interiors, such as the wall treatments or fabric swatches. This will ensure that the area rug will blend beautifully and not stick out like a sore thumb in your interior. Last but not the least, you need to pick out colors that would suit your life and lifestyle that you lead. For homes with kids and rugs on high traffic areas, a dark rug is definitely the practical choice.

All these considerations may seem to make a tall order. However, area rugs are essentially an investment, which means you need to take your time in choosing the right one for your household. Still, with the highly interesting designs of Sphinx area rugs to browse from, shopping for your rug is definitely a treat you will enjoy.
