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.

The positive qualities of transitional rugs don't end there. For the reason that these rugs have more use of colors and enjoy the liberty of combining two or more to create a totally new look, you wouldn't have to worry about the question "who wore it better?" You're assured that there are no transitional rugs of exactly the same look. Well except of course if you and the other lady get the same piece in the same department store in the same rack. The point though is that the designs and colors of transitional rugs are so diverse that finding a replica is almost close to none.

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.

The colors for a transitional rug have no such trouble. Because they are the masters of the mix and match with integration of bits and pieces of various designs, there is an ideal rug for everyone. One that meets even the most finicky person's taste. For instance, a normal animal print rug has only that, animal prints. But a transitional rug can use an animal print theme and join it with some modern inspiration making use of bright colors. Hence, you have two designs in one rug.

Finally, it just remains to be said that, if you are unsure about what kind of rug to choose, then the transitional rug will definitely be a good starting point. Other than that, remember to pay attention to the specific size of the rug and its purpose in the specific room it will be placed in - will it be a focal point or just serve to brighten up the room? All these things have to be considered before your area rug is chosen and bought.
