As a sort of functional artwork for your floor, rugs can completely transform the look and feel of your home. Find out how to choose your dream area rug for your space with the easy tips in our guide.
How to Choose an Area Rug
1. Size
Size matters. Too small of a rug can completely detract from the design and decor of your room, creating a distracting floating appearance. Conversely, too large and your space can feel cramped. Measure your room carefully before making any size decisions. We carry a wide range of sizes from 20”x30” to 120”x175” and offer customizations, so you have options!
2. Style & Color
Rugs are available in tons of different colors and styles, making it especially difficult to make that final decision. In addition to thinking about the styles that match your aesthetic, consider how different colors and styles will work with the textures, tones, and colors of your existing furnishings. Do you want your rug to stand out or blend in? This will guide your rug buying journey.
3. Pattern
Patterns can really bring a room together, or end up being too distracting. You want to create balance with your existing furnishings and color palette of the room.
4. Material
When learning how to choose an area rug, you can’t forget about rug material – especially if your rug is going in an area with high foot traffic like your foyer. Homes with muddy paw prints and little feet need rugs made to withstand everyday life. Vintage vinyl rugs are kid-friendly, pet-friendly, and easy to clean. No more sticking pet hairs, plus spills can quickly be wiped clean!
