Picking the right area rug for the rooms of your home is very important as each room needs a different feel and has a different design. The type of rug, as well as the placement thereof, will determine whether the room has a fresh and airy feel to it or if the room feels cluttered and disoriented.

Choose your home rug area wisely

  • Choose the correct size home rug area for your room – You need your rug to set boundaries and ground your furniture. In a living room your rug defines the conversation area, and it should be large enough so at least the front legs of the furniture are on it.
  • Leaving your wall-to-wall carpeting bare: It is always a good idea to layer an area rug over carpet. It adds playfulness and pulls your room together giving it the boundaries it needs.
  • Choosing your rug first: If you’re decorating your room from scratch, choose the rug first. It’s the big, impactful piece that ties a room together and can be a great conversation starter. Choosing the perfect rug first will also give you an idea of what the rest of the design of the room should be.
  • Patterns are your new best friend: Some contrast is necessary to create a happy space and patterns are just the way to go!
  • Remember the rug pad: A rug pad dispels slipping and sliding, and adds a layer of comfort underfoot.
  • Budget is a big factor: There is no need to spend a fortune on a rug that you feel is so expensive you would rather not let anyone walk across it. After all, that is what a rug is there for... Being budget-wise when choosing the perfect rug, area, and design will not make your living space less appealing.
