Use The Auxiliary Color of The Artwork as The Main Color of The Carpet
Observe the color of the artwork in the villa, such as limited edition paintings, medieval furniture or 18th century vases, carefully designed soft furnishings generally have a theme color. Because artworks mainly play the role of a finishing touch, their theme color may be very bold and actually not very suitable to be the color of the carpet. Artwork in addition to a theme color, there must be a softer auxiliary color, handmade carpet color is best consistent with the auxiliary color.
Because the space occupied by the carpet is relatively large compared to the artwork, handmade carpets are often called the “fifth wall” at home, so try to soft auxiliary color as the color of the carpet, not only can set the atmosphere, but also not to focus the attention on the carpet, making the artwork is ignored. Before you choose a handmade rug, it is best to take a few photos of the artwork in your home as a reference.

The Style of The Rug Is Consistent with The Style of The Artwork

Handmade Carpet Is Also A Work of Art in Itself
In another way of thinking, you can also pick handmade carpet like artwork, because many high-quality handmade carpets, no matter from design, shape or texture, are beyond the scope of “ground cover” and rise to the ground artwork. For example, if you have a series of paintings and artworks, then you can choose a handmade rug to form a complete space design with these paintings. It is not necessary to consider how the carpet matches the paintings, but how the carpet can be better combined with the paintings as a kind of spatial art, so that they look integrated.
In addition, in some villa spaces, special efforts will be made to highlight very high-end handmade carpets, such as hanging them on the wall for display, and then matching other artworks according to the color and design of the handmade carpet. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the handmade carpet itself has extraordinary characteristics, and it can become the core of the artwork of the whole space.

Because the unique color and pattern of handmade carpets can often become the visual focus of the space, so it is very important to keep the visual balance between them and artworks when choosing handmade carpets. Especially in mixed design spaces, if your artwork is very bold and paired with a very detailed rug, then it may cause visual conflict.
