Does your home have a serious case of the blahs? The blahs aren't just a winter thing when you're cooped up inside your house for days at a time. No matter when or why you decide to change the look of your home, start with new rugs and doormats. The rugs will have a big impact inside, and you'll get just as much use out of a doormat outside. Bed Bath & Beyond has a large selection of rugs and doormats that you can shop for today.

Rugs offer an easy way to add a pop of color to a room. Look for area rugs that come in varying sizes, including some may be large enough to completely cover your floor. If you prefer something smaller, shop for throw rugs. Also called accent rugs, they are usually no bigger than 4 x 6 feet. Pick a classic design that uses deep shades of blue and red or lighter shades of brown and green. If you want to liven things up, opt for a trendy rug in bolder, brighter colors.

Doormats and outdoor rugs come in nearly as many colors and styles as the ones you use inside. When you put doormats outside your home's entrances, you won't need to worry about family members and guests tracking dirt and mud throughout the house. They can wipe their feet off before they come inside. Outdoor rugs come in both on-trend and traditional designs to help you make a great impression. With rugs from Weather Guard™ and other leading brands, you don't need to worry about the colors fading when they are exposed to sunlight. These rugs even hold up well to snow and rain.

When deciding what size rug to buy from brands like Bee & Willow™ and Safavieh, consider how much space you have. The rug should stop at least a few inches from the surrounding walls. Kitchen mats are usually smaller because you place them right in front of your sink, but kitchen rugs can expand almost to the edges of the room. If you go with bath rugs, you may want one that is the same length as your tub but narrow enough to fit between the tub and toilet.

Learning how to pick the right rug simply involves thinking about the colors and designs that will work in your home and choosing the right size. Before bringing home new rugs, though, make sure you know how to care for them. You should vacuum the rug once a week. Vacuums with beater bars work the best because they will not damage the pile. It's also important that you soak up spills from the rug and keep it out of direct sunlight unless it's an outdoor rug. Using rug pads will also help the rug last longer because they will keep it from slipping and bunching up. Now that you know how to care for your new floor coverings, shop for the best rugs and doormats at Bed Bath & Beyond.
