Your Guide To Finding The Perfect Rug

One of the key aspects to consider when shopping for a rug is the dimensions of both your room and your chosen rug. A rug that is too small can seem underwhelming and look out of place, while a rug that is too large for your space can be overpowering in your home styling. It is best to look for rugs that are slightly larger than your arrangement of furniture, for instance, a rug that is larger than your coffee table in the centre of your living room or a rug larger than your bed in your bedroom.

You should also consider the style of your rug. Coordinating your rug with the decorative style of your room will help you to establish a cohesive harmony in your interior decorating that helps your space feel elevated in its styling.

Types Of Material To Choose For Your Stylish Rugs

While you can enjoy shopping from a range of unique designs and colour tones, you can also shop from a variety of different compositions. Each composition presents its own benefits in terms of style and texture. Rugs can be made from natural or synthetic materials, which influence the specification of your rug in terms of durability, softness, and ease of cleaning. Let us dive into a few of the most popular rug compositions:

• Cotton rugs - Made from a soft, breathable fabric, cotton rugs are often easy to clean and lightweight. These rugs are great for living rooms and bedrooms
• Polyester rugs - Composed from a synthetic material, polyester rugs are durable due to their strong fibres that are also resistant to moisture, making them ideal for high foot traffic areas such as hallways and living rooms.

• Jute rugs - Bringing an earthy, rustic charm to any room, jute rugs are made from a rough fibre and often produced in neutral, beige tones, but can be dyed in various colours. Not suitable for damp areas like bathrooms or kitchens, jute rugs are best displayed in living rooms and bedrooms.
• Wool rugs - A durable fibre, wool makes for an excellent rug composition. Offering comfort and durability underfoot, wool rugs provide a natural insulation that helps your space feel nice and cosy.
• Faux fur rugs - Made from synthetic materials such as acrylic fibres, faux fur rugs bring a refreshing shaggy texture to your space. Effortlessly cosy, faux fur rugs are great for adding visual intrigue to your living room or bedroom.

Enjoy Plush Feel In Your Soft Rug

Rugs are designed not only to bring style, but also comfort to your space. It's important that rugs are comfortable underfoot. Shaggy rugs, specifically, are created with this underfoot comfort in mind. These rugs are designed with a thick and plush texture. Shaggy rugs vary in terms of the shags, so you can shop from shaggy rugs featuring a long shag as well as those that feature a shorter shag that is flatter in its design. Shaggy rugs offer a lush and elegant feel while bringing a textural charm to any room they're placed in. Transform your bedroom or living room into a cosy oasis with one of our stylish shaggy rugs.
