We’ve waved goodbye to 2017. Time to get your thinking caps on and decide what improvements are going to be made in 2018. You might be the kind of person who likes to set their own trends. In which case, take a look at what Hiderugs has to offer in the form of top quality animal skins. If you’re more of a follower, let’s consider what going to be hot this year.

Adding a rug is a very good way of updating a room without going all out and redecorating completely. There are an endless range of colours, patterns and shapes to choose from. A rug can make a very important statement, or it can complement other features. With a rug it’s possible to clarify or highlight a theme. Colour can also be used to great effect.

Colours
Now that we’re well into the New Year it looks like bold colours are going to be all the rage. Multi-coloured, layered as well as cool greys and blues.
Textures
Texture is going to be a big thing for 2018. Hiderugs has some great examples in the way of quality animal skins. These include cowhide, sheepskin and reindeer. All of which are ethically sourced. A textured rug is a great way to add character to a room.
Patterns or plain
If the decor of the room allows, it looks like patterns are the way to go. This year you get the opportunity to be creative with your flooring. Look for fun ways to add patterns to a plain room, and choose different layers to complement a room.
Types
Modern rug manufacturers are always coming up with inventive ways of making rugs. Gone are the days when wool was the only option. Recycled materials are becoming increasingly popular. As are natural fibres such as sisal.

Rugs are a great way of keeping up with the trends, and you don’t need to spend a fortune. There are an unlimited number of ways to add a rug to a room. Modern designs and materials are very appealing, but let’s not forget the traditional patterns, styles and shapes that are still trendy today. Choose the right rug for your home, and you get the chance to make a strong design statement. It’s possible to find a rug that suits your lifestyle, is practical, luxurious, durable or completely off the wall.
