No matter the size of a bed, ensure that the size of the rug extends about 55cm around all sides as the rug acts as a frame anchoring the bed in the space. Start your laying the rug in front of your nightstands or a third of the way down from your headboard. Have the rug extend beyond the edges of the bed to prevent the bed from looking like it is floating in the room​.

Dining Room Rugs

In the dining room, choosing rug sizes are all about framing and setting the stage for your table and chairs. Beware of high-pile rugs that seem to collect every crumb and love to play chair-tripper. For both practicality and personality add texture or a playful pattern to breathe life into the space.

Top Rug Picks: Hand-knotted wool, Handwoven Jute, or Synthetic Blends.

FOR THE BUSY, FUNCTIONAL SPACES

Entryway & Kitchen Rugs

High-traffic areas like entryways, hallways, and kitchens need resilient rugs or runners that can handle daily foot traffic and spills. In long, narrow kitchens, an 80cmx150cm runner can visually expand the space. For spacious kitchens without an island, a larger 160cmx230cm rug placed centrally can enhance the room’s layout and style.

FAQ

From choosing rugs to proper care and aesthetic appeal

What should I consider when buying a rug?

First off when styling with rugs consider the size of your space and the color scheme you're working with. You want a rug that fits just right and complements the room. If your rug's going in a bustling area, like the living room or hallway, you'll want something durable that can handle all those comings and goings. That's where material and pile height come into play. A low-pile rug is great for high-traffic areas as it is easy to clean and less likely to show wear.

What rug style should I consider?

If you're into that natural, earthy look, you can't beat neutral tones and eco-friendly materials like jute and sisal. if you want to make a statement go for bold geometric patterns or for effortless style it's all about embracing that vintage and distressed vibe.

How often should I rotate my rug?

Rotate your rug every now from all the foot traffic it deals with day in and day out. Aim to do it about every 6-12 months, especially if your rug is in a busy area. This simple trick helps spread out the wear and tear evenly, so your rug stays looking fresh and new for longer. 

How do I mix and match rugs in an open floor plan?

Matching with different style rugs in an open floor plan is all about finding rugs that vibe together while making each area stand out. You want them to complement each other in color and style with different patterns to give each space its own personality. Make sure a common theme or color palette is running through the whole space to keep everything looking harmonious.

How do I clean my rug?

When caring for your area rugs start with regular vacuuming to keep dust and dirt at bay. Spot clean right away with a mild detergent and water to prevent stains from setting. But for deep cleaning, it's always a good idea to check out what the manufacturer recommends.
