WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RUGS?

Rugs make your home cosy and beautiful. At Carpet Court, we offer many types of rugs to fit different needs and styles. Before choosing one, it's good to know about the options available. Our vast range of rugs at Carpet Court includes:

TRADITIONAL RUGS

Bring ancient traditions, craftsmanship and timeless beauty from exotic, faraway places right to your home with our traditional-style rugs. These luxury rugs showcase classic colours and designs, including Persian, Oriental and modern styles, and have been meticulously crafted by skilled craftsmen from Turkey, China, Belgium and India.

MODERN RUGS

Elevate your interior design with a touch of luxury with modern rugs designed to impress. Our designer rugs in contemporary styles and trending colours and patterns are set to complement your home in a sleek style.

SHAG RUGS

Shaggy without being Austin Powers 'shagadelic', these shag rugs add opulent, tactile luxury underfoot. Check out our Sienna and Laguna rugs for plush comfort and a decadent shagalicious texture.

OUTDOOR RUGS

Outdoor rugs have come a long way from the humble doormat. Today, they serve a functional purpose and introduce style and comfort to outdoor entertaining spaces.

Carpet Court has an extensive range of outdoor rugs made from highly durable polypropylene. Specifically designed for alfresco areas, these rugs are the perfect rug for decks, pergolas and other outdoor spaces for many reasons:

• They’re UV stable, which means they won’t fade in the sun
• They’re easy to clean; just hose them down and let them dry in the sun
• They add definition to lounge or dining zones within large covered outdoor entertaining spaces

WHAT ARE POPULAR RUG MATERIALS?

Homeowners choose rug materials for their durability, comfort and how well they complement their home décor. At Carpet Court, we understand this, and that’s why we offer a wide range of rugs in various materials that suit your taste and stand up to daily wear and tear, including:

WOOL RUGS

Wool rugs are beautiful, resilient, natural fibre rugs and luxuriously durable solutions for bedroom and living area floors. Wool is a natural rug fibre with natural fire resistance, the best insulating properties and is naturally soil and stain-resistant. All this makes wool rugs a wonderful choice in cool-climate family homes.

SYNTHETIC RUGS

Synthetic rugs perform exceptionally well in high-traffic areas such as the dining room, living room, hallway, family room and home office. Stain-resistant, moisture repellent and easy to maintain, synthetic rugs are perfect for all living spaces in busy family homes.

JUTE RUGS

We love jute rugs for adding a touch of natural appeal to spaces like study nooks, sunrooms, casual meal areas and relaxed living areas.

Eco-friendly, natural fibre rugs like our popular Bondi rug collection are handcrafted in India. They are made from high-quality, organic materials sourced from the fibres of the jute plant originating in Asia. Jute rugs don't like to get wet, but they are durable and surprisingly soft underfoot.

OTHER RUG MATERIALS

Aside from pure wool, synthetic and jute, Carpet Court also offers rugs from other materials. These include wool blends, eco-friendly recycled polyester and cotton, soft and durable microfibre and more. There’s a perfect rug from our wide selection that perfectly suits every home.

WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES OF A GOOD RUG?

When you're on the hunt for the right rug, it's not just about looks. A truly great rug has specific qualities that make it stand out, such as:

• Durability: Think about who will be living in the space. Whether it's busy foot traffic, playful kids, pets or heavy furniture, a good rug should be durable.
• Hypoallergenic: If your family suffers from allergies, consider non-shedding fibres for floor rugs, especially in bedrooms.
• Weather resistance: Think about the sort of environment the rug is going into. Whether you're in a part of Australia that experiences intense humidity or cold winters, or if the rug is meant for moisture-prone spots like kitchens, choose the rug's fibres appropriate to these conditions.
• Easy to maintain: A quality rug is about how it holds up over time. Go for rugs that require minimal effort to keep clean and look fresh.
• Right rug fibres: Selecting the perfect rug fibre depends on your specific requirements, whether it's warmth and insulation, durability or ease of maintenance. For busy households with rugs placed in high-traffic zones, opt for modern rugs in synthetic fibres with good soil and stain resistance that are easy to clean. A luxury home or home in a cold climate might benefit from a wool rug, providing sumptuous warmth and comfort underfoot.
• Right rug size and shape: Choose a rug that fits well in its space, both in size and shape. A good rug should be large enough to complement the area and connect with the main furniture around it.
• Right rug colour and design: This is influenced by your personal style to enhance your living space. Do you want your rug to be the focal point in the room or to complement other features? Choose bold designs and colours if you want the rug to be a stand-out accessory. If you prefer a rug to quietly complement other features, pick neutral or natural colours and a quieter design.

SHOULD RUGS MATCH FLOORING?

Floor rugs are incredibly versatile and look as beautiful on timber flooring as on concrete, carpets or tiles. Rugs are also an excellent way to keep your hard floors looking as good as new by protecting them from damage, such as dents and scratches.

Our fabulous range of rugs is also adept at providing acoustic insulation on hard floor surfaces, helping absorb noises like footsteps. This is why floor rugs are a great addition to your upstairs living spaces and bedroom floors if you’re in a two-storey home.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT RUG SIZE?

Rug size is often an area that buyers get wrong. A rule of thumb is if it’s big enough to fill the room or the living or dining space, it’s the right size.

Small rugs can be lost in a space, while large rugs that sit under the sofa, dining table, coffee table or even side tables feel luxurious and spacious and can add to your homewares and room décor. If in doubt, always go bigger – as long as the room rug fits into your living space.

You can even use a Moroccan rug or flatweave designer rug as wall art!

WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF RUG FOR A CHILD’S ROOM?

A starting point in choosing a rug for a kid’s room is probably to avoid a white rug! Our huge range of kids rugs is specially designed for kids’ rooms. These rugs are bestsellers for many reasons — they provide a soft, comfy place to play, help protect your floor and are also tough enough to withstand high-energy kids’ activities.

Australian designed and made from an acrylic pile, Carpet Court’s kids floor rugs are durable and feature a super soft plush pile in bright and neutral colours. To maximise style, match a kids rug to quilt covers and bedroom accessories for a coordinated look.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING RUGS?

Interior design guru and Carpet Court ambassador Darren Palmer recommends adding rugs to your space for a variety of reasons. The practical and aesthetic benefits of thick and luxurious floor rugs include:

• Thermal and acoustic insulation
• Softness and comfort underfoot
• Adding colour and textural design elements
• Creating definitive living/dining zones within open plan spaces
• An affordable way to update a room with the latest on-trend looks

Rugs are also the perfect interior design choice if you’re renting, adding your own personal style to a property.
