WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A RECTANGLE RUG?

Rectangle rugs are an easy way to bring many different elements to your home décor. They can make a significant difference to the vibe in the room. A rectangular Oriental rug adds luxurious elegance and tradition, while a rectangular modern rug offers a casually chic look.

Rugs in this shape soften and insulate a room while defining spaces within an open-plan floor design. They introduce and bind colours, complement tones, add rich textures and unite or highlight individual aspects of your furnishings.

Here’s why these rugs from our floor rug collection are popular:

• Versatile: These floor rugs suit most room shapes. Their rug shape fits perfectly beneath your couches, chairs and coffee tables to define the relaxation zone in your living room. Ideally, they would be big enough for all this furniture or to sit in front of a 3-seater or chaise-style lounge with other furniture touching the rug.
• Practical: This is the ideal rug shape for placing beneath a six- or eight-seater dining suite. These rugs should be big enough to make sure the chairs don’t get caught when in use.
• Functional: In the kitchen, this type of rug sits perfectly in front of your bench space, usually the section where the sink is located.
• Harmonious: When you consider the rectangular shapes naturally occurring in your home, this rug fits seamlessly into many spaces.

What Sizes Do Rectangular Rugs Come In?

Our range of stunningly different floor rugs comes in a great selection of rug sizes to suit many zones of your home. From small rugs perfect for a little dining nook to medium rugs for versatile use, large rugs for your lounge area and oversized rugs for grand statements, there is a size that will enhance your interior.

WHAT ROOMS WOULD SUIT A RECTANGLE RUG?

Whether they are rich statement pieces or soft, subtle enhancements, rectangular rugs suit many rooms. Living and sleeping quarters are usually ideal dimensions for these rugs.

While kitchens are sometimes square, island and L-shaped benches are the perfect shape for these rugs, providing soft comfort and protection when you are standing on tiles or hardwood floors. Galley-style kitchens also lend themselves well to this rug shape.

Want to maximise the impact of your floor rug? Our Carpet Court team shares expert tips on which rooms can truly benefit from these rugs:

• Living Rooms: Area rugs and shag rugs can add warmth and style to your living space. A grey rug or navy rug can enhance the décor with subtle elegance.
• Bedrooms: Wool rugs and jute rugs are ideal for creating a cosy and comfy ambience. To create a dramatic statement in your bedroom, use brown or silver rugs that can make an impact.
• Kitchens: Traditional rugs and tribal rugs work well in kitchens with island or L-shaped benches. They offer comfort and protection on hard floors.
• Outdoor Spaces: Outdoor rugs are durable and stylish, and that’s why they’re suitable for patios or balconies. Polypropylene can withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining its look.

SHOULD YOUR RUG MATCH THE SHAPE OF YOUR ROOM?

Not necessarily. You can create different angles and dimensions using furniture and rugs to complement the layout of your interior instead of the room shape. Round rugs look perfect beneath a round table in a square or rectangular room, for example. In open-plan living spaces, a variety of rug shapes can create diversity and depth.

WHAT TYPE OF FLOOR RUGS ARE IDEAL FOR YOUR HALLWAY?

The right floor rug depends on the shape, width, and length of your hallway. Runner rugs are perfect for accentuating long, narrow spaces, while rectangle rugs work well in wider areas.

No matter the size of your hallway, we have options to suit your needs. Our rugs from different collections come in hallway runner lengths and rectangular sizes. They are available in durable materials and styles, such as polypropylene, jute, microfibre and flatweave. You can also find multicolour options to add a vibrant touch to your space.

If it’s time to consider a rectangular rug to define a space or breathe life into any area of your home, check out the fabulous range of luxurious rugs in a variety of fibres, textures, sizes and colours at your local Carpet Court store today.

HOW DO YOU SELECT A RECTANGLE RUG FOR YOUR SPACE?

Whether you're decorating a living room, bedroom, hallway or outdoor area, the perfect floor rug can make a big difference. Here are some tips from our Carpet Court team to help you select the right rug for your space:

• Measure the Area: Determine the dimensions of the space where you plan to place the rug. This helps you select the right size, whether you need area rugs for larger spaces or smaller rugs for specific spots.
• Consider the Material: Think about the material that suits your needs. Wool rugs are durable and cosy, while jute rugs offer a natural, earthy feel. For a plush option, consider shag rugs.
• Select the Colour: Look for a colour that complements your existing décor. A grey rug, navy rug or silver rug can add elegance. For more vibrancy, a multicolour rug might be ideal.
• Match the Style: Pick a style that fits your room. Traditional and tribal rugs can add character and a timeless appeal.
• Think About Functionality: Decide on the rug’s purpose. Outdoor rugs are designed to withstand the elements, while indoor rugs can add warmth and comfort to your living spaces.
• Coordinate with Furniture: Make sure the rug works well with your furniture. A brown rug can complement wooden furniture, while a blue rug can add a pop of colour.
