What are area rugs?
Area rugs are simply floor rugs which define a space in any room of the home as well as providing a host of practical and aesthetic benefits. You can even place an area rug outdoors in your undercover entertaining space to create a unifying frame around your outdoor furniture, soften the hard surface under foot and provide visual appeal. If the concept of outdoor rugs is news to you, check out the gorgeous colours, styles and patterns in our Terrace rug collection. An outdoor rug can transform your outdoor dining space and cover any unsightly stains on your pavers or concrete so easily!
To unite the furniture and make your defined interior spaces appear larger, your area rugs should be as large as possible, with part or all of each major piece of furniture touching the rug. In your lounge area this means all or part of your sofa, lounge chairs and occasional tables should be on the rug. In your dining space there should be a substantial portion of rug around the table and all of the chairs when pulled out.
Measure the space before buying your new area rug to be sure it will create the desired effect.

What are the benefits of having an area rug?
In some cultures rugs are hung on the walls as a form of art. But why not have art on the floor? Area rugs are a core ingredient in your chosen interior style, providing a base and setting the tone for the room. But the benefits of hardworking, multi-tasking rugs don’t stop there. Area rugs add much needed insulation to the floors, trapping warmth and reducing the effects of cold, hard flooring. They serve as protection for your expensive carpet, timber, tiled or floating floors and can be easily replaced to provide a whole new look without the usual price tag that comes with extensive updates.
How should you maintain your area rug?
As our range of rugs includes a variety of fibres such as pure wool, wool blends, cotton, jute, acrylic, polypropylene and more, you should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with regard to the care and maintenance of your area rug. And here’s a tip: buying a reversible rug means you can simply flip it over if any accidental stains occur!
