Area Rugs: Decor that you can be proud of!

Area Rugs

Area rugs might not be the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of sprucing up your space, but trust us, they're interior design powerhouses. Interior designers all agree that a statement rug would simply transform a room. These little (or not so little) rectangles of woven wonder can help you show off your style with pride, adding warmth, defining areas and pulling your entire look together. Area rugs are like invisible walls, helping to segment open floor plans into distinct areas. This is especially useful in studios or living rooms where the kitchen, dining and lounging areas all flow into one another. Area rugs are an investment that will add beauty, comfort and functionality to your home.

Choosing the Perfect Rug

When choosing your perfect rug the 3 factors to consider are size, material and style.

A rug that's too small will look like an island, while one that's too big can overwhelm the room. The ideal size will depend on the layout of your furniture.

Wool is a classic choice for its durability and natural warmth. However, there are many other options available from stain resistant synthetics to luxuriously soft silks.

Reflect on the overall feel you're going for in the room. Do you want a bold statement piece or something more subtle? Browse rugs online or visit rug stores to get a feel for the different styles available.

 

Custom Rugs

Want a one of a kind masterpiece for your living room? Consider a custom rug! These beauties allow you to choose the size, colour, pattern and material to perfectly match your vision. Perfect for oddly shaped spaces or unique design themes, custom rugs are an investment in personalised style.

 

Outdoor Rugs

Let's face it, outdoor spaces take a beating. That's why outdoor rugs are an important addition to your home design style. These durable beauties are built to withstand the elements, yet still adding style to your patio, deck or balcony. Choose weather resistant materials like jute rug, polypropylene or recycled plastic and opt for a bold pattern to add personality to your outdoor.

 

Kitchen Rugs

Kitchens are high traffic zones, prone to spills and splatters. Kitchen rugs need to be both stylish and practical. Opt for a washable rugs and stain resistant material like nylon or low pile wool. Consider a smaller rug in front of the sink or stove or a runner along the length of your counter for added comfort and definition.

 

Living Room Rugs: Rugs that Set the Scene

The living room is the heart of the home and the rug sets the stage. Here you can truly indulge in your design preferences by choose something suitable to your decor style or a custom rug. A large rug that anchors your furniture creates a cohesive feel. For a touch of luxury, consider plush wool or a patterned viscose rug. Want something more relaxed? A jute or sisal rug adds a natural, earthy vibe.

 

Stairs Runner

Stairs are a high traffic area that needs both safety and style. Stair runners provide traction and protect your steps. Choose a runner with a nonslip backing and a low to medium pile height to avoid tripping hazards. Patterned runners can add visual interest, while solid colours offer a more classic look.

 

Kids Rugs

Kids' rooms need rugs that can handle anything – messy art projects, spilled juice boxes and the occasional wrestling match. Opt for a durable, stain resistant material like nylon or polypropylene. Choose round rugs, a playful pattern or bright colours that reflects your child's personality. For extra comfort and padding, consider a thicker pile rug. 

 

Bedroom Rugs

A plush rug beside the bed adds a luxurious touch and provides a soft landing spot in the morning. Choose a cosy material like wool or a wool blend for maximum comfort. Neutral colours, like a cream rug or mild pink rug creates a calming atmosphere, while a patterned rug can add some personality. 

 

Hallway Runner

Hallways are often overlooked areas but a well placed runner can elevate the entire space. Runners define the walkway, protect your floors and add style. Choose a runner that's the same width as your hallway or slightly narrower. For high traffic areas opt for a durable material like nylon or a low pile wool blend. Patterned runners can add visual interest to long hallways while solid colours create a more streamlined look.

 

So, there you have it! With this guide, you're well on your way to showing off your style with pride!
