The options are endless when it comes to decorating your Camden apartment.  Most people tend to head straight to vases, pillows and art, but, the magic and fun is all in the rugs.

Rugs add texture and color and also distinguish spaces in your home.

Here are some tips and photos from our beautiful Camden communities to help inspire you and get your rug game on!

Color

Start with a rug you love and if it is multicolored, pull your favorite color(s) from it to inspire your decorating journey. The great thing about rugs with a lot of color is that you are free to change the décor around it several times over the life of the rug.  We all enjoy a little change now and then.

Layering

With so many rug options, why choose just one?  Putting rugs on top of each other may seem a bit intimidating, but with the right pattern and texture, you can knock it out of the park.

First, place your large rug down, adjacent to your furniture and the smaller rug on top at an angle.   You won’t know how it’ll look until you’re layering them, so experiment with angles and change the furniture around to see what works.

Patterns

Patterns are fun.  Patterns are bold.  Patterns make a statement.   This rug textile can surely supercharge a room, make it feel exciting and be a conversation starter all at the same time!

Imagine you have a plush contemporary style rug paired with a solid colored sofa.  It provides as a backdrop for modern design spaces and allows the room to require less décor because the rug does all the work for you.
