Choosing Between Irregular, Rectangular, Round, Oval, and Square Area Rugs

Choosing the right area rug can be a daunting task, especially with the wide variety of options available. One of the first decisions you'll need to make is the shape of the rug. Irregular, rectangular, round, oval, and square rugs each have their own unique appeal and can enhance the overall aesthetic of your space.

Unique Rug Techniques: Is A Tufted Rug or Woven Rug Right for You?

When it comes to choosing the perfect rug for your space, there are a plethora of options to consider. One important factor to contemplate is the technique used in the rug's construction. Two popular rug techniques are tufted rugs and woven rugs, each offering their own unique characteristics. So, is a tufted rug or woven rug right for you?

Wool Rugs, Cotton Rugs, Jute Rugs, and Synthetic Rugs: How to Choose Your Rug Material

The material of your rug plays a crucial role not only in its durability and longevity but also in its overall aesthetic appeal. Wool rugs, cotton rugs, jute rugs, and synthetic rugs are some of the popular choices available in the market. Each material has its own unique characteristics and benefits. Wool rugs are known for their luxurious feel and excellent durability. They are perfect for high-traffic areas like the living room or hallway where they can withstand heavy footfall. Wool rugs also have natural stain resistance and are easy to clean, making them a practical choice for households with children or pets. Additionally, wool rugs have excellent insulating properties, providing warmth and comfort during colder months. With their soft texture and beautiful patterns, wool rugs can truly be considered as aesthetic rugs or even rugs as art, enhancing the visual appeal of any space.

Can I Put A Rug on Carpet?

If you have carpeted floors, don't worry! You can still incorporate unique rugs into your space. Layering a smaller rug, such as a 3x5 rug, on top of your carpet can add visual interest and texture to the room. The combination of different textures and patterns creates a captivating visual effect that will instantly elevate the look of your space.

Balancing Color and Texture: Finding the Right Rug for Your Color Scheme

The color and texture of a rug play a significant role in the overall aesthetic of a room. When selecting a rug for your space, it's essential to consider your existing color scheme and find a rug that harmonizes with it seamlessly. Whether you're drawn to vibrant teal area rugs, abstract or graphic designs, or the boho charm of purple rugs and checkered rugs, there's a rug out there that will tie your color scheme together beautifully.

What Size Area Rug Do I Need?

Read our rug size guide for the full breakdown on choosing the best size rug for your space. First, consider the dimensions of the room. A 6x9 area rug is a popular choice for smaller to medium-sized rooms. This size provides enough coverage to anchor the furniture and create a cozy atmosphere, while still allowing the floor to show around the edges. Next, take into account the layout of the furniture. In a living room or dining room, for example, the area rug should be large enough for all the key furniture pieces to sit on or around it. A patterned rug can act as a focal point, adding visual interest and tying the room together. Make sure to measure the space and leave enough room for the furniture legs to comfortably fit on the rug.

Designer Tips on Mixing and Matching Rug Patterns and Sizes

Mixing and matching different rug patterns and sizes is a great way to create a visually stunning and dynamic space in your home. When it comes to rug patterns, the key is to choose designs that complement each other rather than clash. For example, if you have a bold and intricate patterned rug, pair it with a simpler and more geometric design. This will create a beautiful contrast and balance in the room. Don't be afraid to mix different textures as well, such as a plush shag rug with a flat weave kilim rug. This will add depth and interest to your space. In terms of rug sizes, it's important to consider the proportions of your room. If you have a large open space, consider using a 10x14 area rug as the main focal point. Layer smaller rugs on top to define different zones within the room and add visual interest. For example, place a smaller rug under a dining table or in a seating area to create a cozy and intimate feel.

Investing in Luxury Rugs: Pros and Cons

When it comes to transforming your home into a luxurious oasis, investing in boutique rugs can make a significant impact. These rugs are crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, using exquisite materials and boasting timeless designs that can elevate any space. However, before you splurge on a plush, handmade, soft, or designer rug, it's important to weigh the pros and cons.

Our neutral sofa needed a pop of color, and our living room has a tropical + abstract theme going, so this blanket is a perfect fit for us. Husband and I are very pleased we ordered this. Colors and quality are as described in the ad. I haven't yet laundered the blanket, so no telling whether the tassles will bunch up after washing.

Cute rug! I ordered the 4 ft size. Order was placed on 10/3/24 and delivered on 10/28/24 (from India to GA, USA). It was wrapped really tightly while rolled up, but it’s flattening out pretty well. Note the picture is from right after opening the package, so there are a few pieces of lint here and there, but vacuum should clean it up easily. Very happy with it, thanks!
