The Ultimate Rug Guide for Your Home

Understanding Rug Benefits

Comfort and Warmth

Rugs are fantastic for making your home more comfortable. They provide a soft layer underfoot, instantly making rooms feel cozier and more welcoming. Stepping onto a plush rug can really warm up the ambiance of any space.

Aesthetic Anchor

Rugs do more than just sit pretty; they can pull together various elements of a room’s decor, creating a cohesive look. They can be the focal point that complements furniture and accessories, setting the tone or mood of the room.

Noise Reduction

If you’ve ever noticed an echo in a sparsely furnished room, a rug can help with that. Rugs are great at absorbing sound, reducing echo, and softening noise, which makes your space quieter and conversations more comfortable.

Floor Protection

Rugs protect your floors from scratches, dents, and wear, especially in areas that see a lot of foot traffic. This can help preserve the life and appearance of your flooring.

Choosing Rugs for Various Rooms

The Bedroom

For a bedroom, choose soft, plush rugs like our washable rug collection to add comfort underfoot. Opt for calming colors and patterns to create a relaxing environment, perfect for winding down.

The Home Office

In a home office, the right rug can motivate and add comfort. A flatweave rug can facilitate easy chair movement and should fit well with your desk and chair arrangement to enhance both function and style.

The Bathroom

In bathrooms, consider washable, moisture-resistant rugs. These are practical for wet environments and add a luxurious touch that combines style with functionality.

For patios or decks, look for durable, weather-resistant rugs. They can withstand the elements while enhancing the comfort and appearance of your outdoor living areas.

Size and Placement Tips

Choosing the Right Size

The size of the rug is crucial; it should be proportional to the space to help define areas without overwhelming them. A well-chosen rug can make a room feel more unified and intentional.

Placement Tips

Think about how a rug ties into your furniture arrangement. In a living room, for instance, a rug should be large enough that at least the front legs of all main pieces of furniture are on the rug. Runners are great for hallways or kitchens as they guide traffic and protect the floor.

Care and Maintenance

Routine Care

Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning are essential to keep your rugs looking fresh. Periodic professional cleanings can also extend the life of your rugs.

Advantages of Machine-Washable Rugs 

Rugs like our machine washable rugs, making them particularly easy to keep clean. This is especially beneficial in homes with pets, kids, or high foot traffic.
