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.

Brown and Tan Checkered Rug

I am very much enjoying my new Jubi rug. I think it took a little longer than the projected lead time on their website, but for being a 100% wool, hand made rug, patience is needed. The rug itself is fairly thick and plush, and feels great under foot. The tassels are nicely knotted, and it generally feels pretty well made. There are a couple long threads that need some snipping, and only time will tell how well it holds up to our two cats. It has been shedding (which is fairly standard with a new, wool rug). The one caveat is that the rug is very differently colored than the product photos. The photo of the rug really just shows a dark brown pattern with various tan colors in between. The actual rug is charcoal (not dark brown) with tan, orange, and pink between. As an interior designer, I know first hand how tough rugs can be in color selection. I do think the website needs to have a better representation of the colors in the rug (and possible colors in the rug) and some context photos and close up photos of their rugs. Because of this I have waffled between 3 and 4 stars, but ultimately I want more fun rugs in this world, and appreciate the unique nature of Jubi's designs.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Kelly! We’re so glad you’re enjoying your rug and appreciate your patience with the handmade process. Shedding and a few long threads are totally normal with new wool rugs, but we’re happy to provide care tips if needed!

We truly appreciate your feedback about color representation. While we work hard to capture accurate photos, we know that colors can sometimes appear differently in different lighting or screens. Your insights are super helpful as we continue refining our images to better reflect each rug’s unique tones.

Your support for fun, unique rugs means the world to us! If there’s anything we can do to make your experience even better, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

The rug is gorgeous and I love it!

Thank you so much, Laura! We're thrilled to hear that you love your Tropical Paradise Hand-Tufted Rug! It means the world to us to know it’s bringing beauty to your space. Enjoy, and thanks for choosing Jubi!

Very nice and high quality

My rug cost me a pretty penny but I would say it’s worth it. Lovely colors and feel to the rug but it does shed a bit. Overall I am very pleased with this piece

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing this fun video! Your dogs are too cute! We're thrilled to hear that you love the colors and feel of your rug. Shedding is natural with high-quality wool rugs, especially at first, but it will lessen over time with regular vacuuming. We truly appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your rug for years to come!

Beautiful rug

Excellent quality. Shipping took longer than promised by a few weeks though.

Thank you, Michelle! We're so glad you're happy with the rug and its quality. We sincerely appreciate your patience with the shipping delay and truly apologize for the extra wait. Your support means so much to us, and we hope you love your rug for years to come!

So plush and beautiful

I love stepping into and out of bed onto this incredibly plush and beautiful rug. Its unique organic shape lends the perfect finishing touch to our bedroom. It feels so luxuriously soft, and the color blends perfectly with our white-stained oak floors. Worth the wait for a very special rug. Amazing quality. Next, we will purchase the matching runner. Thank you, also for the excellent personal customer service and helping us find the perfect rug for our space.

So chic and classic.. Feels so nice! Super happy with these new pieces in my home.

Beautiful rug, looks exactly like the photos. The design is a great mix of vintage and modern design and ties my whole living room together. Cassie answered every email and question I had, and was super helpful and quick with her replies.

I love the rug
Well made and eye catching
Plan to order a larger one
Note : I ordered the three foot small one and it was not quite as large as the dimensions published but still nice !

Fun piece, nice quality

Really beautiful and unique, with a lovely weight to it. Easy breezy to install with nails! It did come with anchors and whatnot but didn't feel necessary for my wall.

Gorgeous colour and came as described . Very good quality.
