The Right Rug for Your Chesterfield Sofa

The Chesterfield is design of sofas that is well thought out, dearly loved and happens to be the primary choice of design of sofas for many people around the globe. Having stayed in vogue since the 17th Century, this classic vintage design is an icon of class, elegance and style. Originally crafted in leather, this design is now being customized in other fabric options suitable for complimenting all sorts of settings.
On the other hand though, getting your sofa finished in a particular fabric is not enough to set the ambiance of your desired setting. It is not only vital but also crucial to compliment the sofa set with the right items all across the rooms a very important aspect of which is getting the right type of rug that would truly bring out the beauty of your Chesterfield sofa and would also enhance the overall feel of the room.
When it comes to rugs, gone are the days when the rugs being used were particularly made to contrast with the rest of the stuff in the room. We have seen many decades of rugs and sofas in contrasting combinations. For this age and time the motto is: simpler is better. The rugs being used these days with the Chesterfield sofas are in the same and complimenting hues as those of sofas.

For a formal setting, with Chesterfield design in dark leather, one should go for a rug that is in darker hues. If however there is darker panelling on the floors and walls or there happens to be dark furniture all around then one should go for a rug that is one tone light. For lighter settings with the Chesterfield sofas in other fabrics, usually lighter shades of rugs are in that truly bring out the elegance of the sofas.
