The feel of your rooms in your house can be directly correlated by what kind of decorating you have in it. Ask any interior decorating and they will tell you that certain colors will bring warmth into a room while others may cause the room to be sterile and cold. Bringing in a sense of peace through the decorating of your place will also be possible.

This will happen when all of the elements in the room have a good relation to each other. They do not all necessarily have to be matching items but if they have a grand, unifying theme, it can help. Additionally, if all of the items are arranged in a way where people can easily move through the room, there is a strong sense of harmony present. It is through this use of space and texture that a person will create the functionality and mood of a room and when these two elements are in sync with each other, harmony will be born.

If however you pick out furniture and rugs that go along well together you will create a room that will have a natural flow to it. With this flow and a room that is not crowded you can get that harmony from your design. The walls of your room should bring in some peace too. Maybe you have a painting that always makes you feel relaxed hanging that in your room and matching a rug to some sort of color in the painting you will have a great look. One that can be uniquely you and no one else will have. Maybe you put up some great family photos and get an area rug that goes with the color of the couch instead.

One other thing an area rug can be great for is if you have too colors that don't quite match or furniture and wall decorations that are a bit less flowing. You can get a rug that will bring the two items together nicely, which will give your room a very harmonious feel and peacefulness about it.

Again the color you choose to put on the walls can completely change what a room feels like. Maybe you want to make the colors of the wall match closer with the rug you have placed in the room. Picking a color that will attach two items together will have a natural flow to the look of your room. With that flow you will have an ongoing sense of peace and harmony. Most of the time, a bold color if done incorrectly will only make your room seem busy and distracting. But if you go about adding a nice bold color and having a nice area rug that goes with it, this can be a great way to bring some harmony into your room.

Finding ways to pair items in the room up with other items can make a room work together in a lasting way. If an area rug is situated around furniture with a similar color scheme, it will provide a sense of belonging. If the artwork on the walls can find traces in the items placed around, it too, will belong. This will provide the most harmonious sensation of all, making the room a huge decor success.
