The perfect rug for every room

A Guide to Choosing and Laying Rugs: How to Pick the Ideal Rug for Every Room

1Introduction to choosing rugs for the home

​ choosing rugs for the home is important for creating a comfortable, stylish environment. Rugs not only offer warmth and comfort, they can also highlight the decor of every room. With the right combination of colour, material and size, a rug can bring character and practicality to your space. Here is a guide to help you choose the right rug for every room in your home.

2Rugs for the living room

The living room is the heart of the home and often the room where you spend the most time. For this reason, the living room rug should be durable and match the style of the space.

• Size: A large rug that takes in all the seating furniture (sofas, armchairs, coffee table) creates a sense of unity and comfort. Alternatively, in a smaller space, you can choose a rug that covers only the coffee table and part of the seating.
• Material: Choose durable materials such as wool or synthetics, which are easy to clean and resist wear.
• Style: If the living room has a minimal aesthetic, choose a rug in neutral colours or simple patterns. For a bolder look, choose a rug with eye-catching patterns or colours.

3Rugs for the dining room

The dining room needs a carefully chosen rug, as it must be practical and stain-resistant.

• Size: Choose a rug large enough to fit the whole dining set, including the chairs when they are pulled back. This stops the edges of the rug from lifting or wearing.
• Material: Choose durable, washable materials such as synthetic or cotton rugs. These make cleaning food stains easier.
• Style: Choose a low-pile rug in neutral colours to keep the focus on the table and chairs.

4Rugs for the bedroom

The bedroom is a space for relaxation, where the rug should offer comfort and warmth.

• Size: A large rug starting under the bed and extending out on each side is ideal, as it is soft underfoot when you step out of bed. Alternatively, you can place two smaller rugs on either side of the bed.
• Material: Rugs made of wool or natural fibres are especially comfortable and warm.
• Style: Choose soft colours and textures that promote calm and relaxation, matching the bedroom textiles.

5Rugs for hallways and the entrance

Hallways and the entrance are high-traffic areas, so rugs must be particularly durable.

• Size: A long, narrow runner that matches the length of the hallway is ideal. At the entrance, the rug should cover the central area without blocking movement.
• Material: Choose synthetic or other durable materials that are easy to clean and resist wear.
• Style: Choose a rug with bold colours or patterns to bring life to hallways or the entrance while adding style.
