Matching Rugs to Each Room's Purpose

Finding the perfect rug involves considering the room's function and your lifestyle. We've got you covered with these helpful tips for every space in your home.

• A durable, easy-to-clean rug is a must for high-traffic areas like your entryway and living room.
• In your dining room, the right rug should comfortably accommodate your table and chairs with ample space to move around.
• Bedrooms and nurseries call for soft, plush kids’ rugs that add warmth and comfort underfoot.
• For kids' rooms, look for playful designs and durable materials that can withstand spills and playtime.
• No matter the room, make sure you select the right size and a style that complements your existing décor.

Rug Sizing Tips for Perfect Room Proportions

Rug size plays a big role in how your room comes together. It can make a space feel larger, more defined, and balanced. Large rugs can anchor furniture groupings in spacious living rooms, while smaller area rugs define conversation areas or highlight specific features.

Consider runner rugs for hallways and entryways to add warmth and visual interest to narrow spaces. Measure your space carefully, and use our handy rug size guides to find the perfect fit for your room.

Deciding on the Right Rug Shape

Beyond size, the shape of your rug can significantly impact the overall look and feel of a room. Round rugs are perfect for creating cosy nooks or softening sharp edges in a room. Rectangular rugs work well in larger areas, helping to ground furniture layouts.

Oval shapes bring a unique flair to transitional spaces, while square rugs are ideal for compact zones. Browse our best-selling shapes and sizes to find the perfect fit for your home.

Comparing Rug Materials for Durability

The material of a rug determines its durability, comfort, and upkeep. Natural fibres like wool and jute provide strength and a timeless appeal, while viscose adds a touch of softness and sheen. Washable rugs offer easy maintenance for busy households, making them a practical option.

Handwoven rugs combine artisanal craftsmanship with long-lasting quality, adding character to your home. Understanding these materials helps you select a rug that meets both your functional and aesthetic needs.

Best Ways to Position Rugs at Home

Properly placing a rug can transform your space. Here are some tips to get you started:

• Living Room: Anchor your seating arrangement by placing your rug underneath your sofa and coffee table. Ensure all furniture legs are on the rug for a cohesive look.
• Dining Room: Choose a rug large enough to accommodate all chairs, even when pulled out. This creates a defined dining area and protects your floors from spills.
• Bedroom: Place your rug under the bed, extending a few feet on either side. This creates a cosy space to step onto first thing in the morning.
• High-Traffic Areas: Invest in durable rugs for high-traffic areas like entryways and hallways. Consider a washable rug or one with a low pile for easy maintenance.
• Small Spaces: Use a smaller rug to define a specific area, like a reading nook or a workspace.
• Large Spaces: A larger rug can ground a large room and create a sense of intimacy.

Remember, the colour and pattern of your rug can also influence the overall mood of a room. A white rug can brighten a space, while a grey rug adds a touch of sophistication. For a pop of colour, consider a blue rug or a bold patterned option.

How to Add Depth with Rug Layering

Layering rugs is a great way to add visual interest and create a cosy atmosphere in your home. Here's how to do it like a pro:

1. Start with a large rug as your base. This will anchor the space and provide a foundation for your other layers.
2. Add a smaller rug on top. This could be a different texture, pattern, or colour to create contrast.
3. Play with textures. Try layering a natural fibre rug, like jute, with a plush shag rug for a tactile experience.
4. Don't be afraid to mix patterns. Just be sure to keep the colours within the same family.
5. Consider the size of your room. In smaller rooms, stick to two layers. In larger rooms, you can add more.
6. Have fun with it! There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to layering rugs. Experiment until you find a combination you love.

Simple Solutions to Common Rug Problems

Rugs can encounter a few issues over time, but most are easily fixed. If your rug slips, use a non-slip rug pad to keep it securely in place and protect your floors. Curling corners can often be resolved with a bit of weight or by gently steaming the area.

For stains, blot spills immediately with a clean cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fibres. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning will help your rugs stay looking their best for years to come. For stubborn stains or damage, consult our care guides or reach out to our team for expert advice.

Storing Rugs Correctly to Prevent Damage

Proper storage is key to keeping your rugs in top condition when not in use. Thoroughly clean your rug to remove dirt and debris. Allow it to dry completely before rolling it tightly from one end to the other.

Wrap the rug in a breathable material like canvas or cotton to protect it from dust and moisture. Avoid plastic, which can trap moisture and lead to mildew. Store your rug in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. With proper care, your Carpet Court rug will provide comfort and style for many years.
