It's a bit of a mental block when trying to figure out how to incorporate two different styles or themes together. Except that, it's not an impossible task to do. Using two different periods for instance like Georgian and Victorian can easily be accomplished. I know you're excited to know how, so read on and find out the answer.
The answer is a resounding YES! The solution to this is not even overwhelming. All you need is to throw in some transitional rugs to organize all the elements including the contrasting ones.
Transitional rugs have no one and specific design theme. They are a mix of some and all. These rugs commonly fall between the Oriental and European categories. This means that a rug has the elements of some or all found in an Oriental and European design. If we compare this to art, it doesn't express a singular artistic expression but bespeaks of an array of emotions. Somewhat like painted by a schizophrenic painter or something. As an analogy, transitional rugs have a split or at times, multiple personalities. But this factor is what makes them great pieces! They are sought after decors, especially for avid rug fans because they know the versatility and unique qualities of this type of rug.
However there are even more characteristics unique to the transitional rug that you won't easily find with other styles of rugs, such as color. While other rugs are rooted in tradition with the style of their patterns, the different colors or types of colors, etc., transitional rugs have that freedom that allows for virtually any combination of color.
An additional feature that makes the transitional rug different from other rugs is the aspect of the rug design. Consider a country motif rug or perhaps one decorated according to botanical tastes. These traditional rugs will often have a certain design or object featured in the design, such as a specific country scene or only certain types of flowers. Again here the transitional rug is different in the sense that it can feature anything from a genre or subject, be it the smallest flower, the biggest tree, an old farm scene, or any other item or idea usually avoided by traditional rug makers.
Now all that being said, there's one reason that a transitional rug will appeal to just about everyone. Many people who choose one style of rug won't choose another based on a number of things. These might include the color being too dark or too bight. Or perhaps they like a part of the over all pattern, but dislike other parts, like the medallion, etc. There are, in fact, millions of reasons people don't like certain types of traditional rugs.
Transitional rugs have the freedom to solve all those little things people dislike about traditional rugs as the rug maker has the ability to incorporate various aspects of various designs that people find favorable. Examples here include a spin off on an oriental rug where the colors are much lighter and where elements from other types of rugs are incorporated.
In conclusion, you have everything you need in a transitional rug, most especially if you don't know what exact kind to use. If you aren't certain yet if a dark colored rug will work best for your office, but is also unsure if you really want a bright colored one, transitional rug is your answer. Without much worries, all you have to consider is the perfect size and the space in the room, and you're all set to lay down that rug.
