Color
- with floor coverings accounting for almost 30% of the color in your room you must choose this wisely.  Do you want your area rug to the main focal point?  Or do you want to choose a rug with a few colors which will allow you pick shades you would like to you use as wall colors, pillows and decor. You can also choose to keep the rug more neutral having it play a secondary role so your homes furnishing are on display. 

Pattern
- on of the most personal choices in my opinion.  What matters most is how the pattern or design makes you feel. The best choice is what best describes your style from traditional to contemporary speaking to you.  Patterned rugs can be used in large rooms for conversation pieces or for spaces you would like to define and feel more intimate. Patterned rugs are great under tables or high traffic areas as they hide stains and wear.

Texture
- The feel of something when you touch it, in this case an area rug.  This again can be a personal preference. Texture can be by laying rugs, or a shaggy rug or a plush pile.  You can choose to play on other textures in your space from a sofa, to window treatments, pillows or accessories.
