An accent rug is a great way to add a warmth, sophistication and pop of color to your space. The rich hue easily provides a sense of stylish drama with minimal effort. We love the flexibility of area rugs, when style changes, simply roll up the rug and switch it out for the newest design trend. For added drama consider painting your walls dark for a sense of mystery and intrigue similar to the inspiration photo below.
