Practical Tips for Getting Rug Sizing Right
Rug size affects how a room feels and functions. The right fit can open up the space, add structure and help everything sit in proportion.
- Small rugs can define conversation areas or highlight a specific feature, like a reading nook or a coffee table.
- Large rugs are great for anchoring furniture groupings in living rooms and dining areas, bringing structure to the layout.
- Extra-large floor rugs go a step further. They’re ideal for open-plan spaces where you want to connect multiple zones or create a sense of cohesion across a bigger area.
Which Rug Shapes Work Best in Different Spaces
Beyond size, the shape of your new 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 rug shapes to find the perfect fit for your home.
How Rug Fibre Affects Comfort, Durability and Care
The material of a rug determines its durability, comfort, and upkeep. Natural fibre rugs 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 how these materials function helps you select the perfect rug that meets your needs.
Best Ways to Position Rugs at Home
The right rug placement can make a room feel more balanced, open or comfortable. Here's how to make it work in your space:
- 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: Pick 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 flatweave rug for easy maintenance.
- Small Spaces: Use a smaller rug to define a specific area, like a reading nook or a workspace.
- Open-Plan 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 kids’ rugs for patterned options.
Easy Rug Layering Tips for a Cosy, Lived-In Look
Layering rugs is a great way to add visual interest and create a cosy atmosphere in your home. Here’s how to layer rugs in a way that works:
- Start with a large rug as your base. This will anchor the space and provide a foundation for your other layers.
- Add a smaller rug on top. This could be a different texture, pattern, or colour to create contrast.
- Play with textures. Try layering a natural fibre rug, like jute, with a plush shag rug for a tactile experience.
- Don't be afraid to mix patterns. Just be sure to keep the colours within the same family.
- Consider the size of your room. In smaller rooms, stick to two layers. In larger rooms, you can add more.
- Use a rug pad. If your rug slips, use a non-slip rug pad to keep it securely in place.
Have fun with it! There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to layering rugs. Try different textures and layouts until it feels right for your space.
