Rug Ideas for the Perfect Living Room

Posted on October 5th, 2017 by Hannah.

A rug can define the sitting area in your home, and it can establish a room’s style. How do you pick the right one? When it comes to size, color and material – these are all factors to think about before making the big purchase. Do you need rug ideas for your living room? Follow this guide to the find the perfect rug idea for your home.

Rug Color

Should it be solid or patterned? Base it on the furniture and décor you have in the room. If your furniture is muted, a vibrant pattern or bright color can create a light energy. If your furniture falls somewhere in between muted and bold, try a rug that complements both color palettes. Consider the traffic too! Not car traffic…but if you have kids or if a person who is likely to spill, we suggest getting a rug with darker colors.

 

Rug Sizes

Selecting the right size is important. A common mistake is choosing one too small. Fix this by measuring your room! A good rule of thumb for the living room is for all the legs of your furniture to fit on the rug or just the front legs. Before you go out to the showroom, use painter’s tape to visualize the rug size in your space.

 

Rug Materials

When selecting a rug material, ask yourself if you’re aiming for comfort, luxury or convenience.

  • Cotton: Most often found as a flat-weave rug. It’s one of the more affordable rugs, easy to clean and recommended for casual spaces.
  • Wool: Strong and repels stains and water well. They’re cozy but are found to shed.
  • Silk: The most luxurious of rugs that are soft and have a subtle sheen. Keep in mind that silk rugs will need to be professionally cleaned.
  • Natural fibers: Sea grass or jute is durable and provides an earthy texture to your home. This material is durable but can be difficult to clean.
  • Synthetic fibers: Man-made fibers such as viscose, nylon or polypropylene works for sunny, outdoors areas because they are easy to clean and family-friendly.
  • Animal skins: It’s soft, durable and gives a unique look. This rug material is most practical for low-traffic, dry areas.
