How to choose area rugs?

Many of our customers often ask us “how to choose area rugs?” Indeed, this is not a simple question.

So before heading out on your rug hunt, you should make yourself a short checklist and consider the following:

Size.

We trust you to measure the room before buying a rug, but still, there are numerous rug sizes and shapes. How can you make sure that you are choosing the right one? Well, the golden rule is that a 5’ by 8’ carpet will work great under coffee tables and an 8’ by 10’ rug is the perfect match for a dining room.

Shape.

Don’t be square! Remember that round rugs will better compliment round tables.

Color.

The rug’s color can drastically change the entire room. Did you know that a darker color makes the room looks smaller while a lighter-color rug will add a feeling of warmth and intimacy? But a dark color will hide spills and dirt and you have 3 kids and a dog… These are factors you should really think about before heading to the store.
