1. Start With the Purpose of the Room
Every room has a rhythm a personality. Your rug should complement how the space is used, not just how it looks.
-
Living Room: Choose a rug that defines your seating area. Ideally, the front legs of your sofas and armchairs should sit on the rug to create a cohesive feel.
-
Dining Room: Look for something durable and easy to clean. Make sure the rug is large enough so chairs stay on it even when pulled out.
-
Bedroom: Go soft and cosy underfoot. A larger rug under the bed or smaller runners on either side can both create a warm, finished look.
💡 DecoTip: Think about traffic flow, too. If it's a high-traffic zone, opt for something durable like polyester & polypropylene.
2. Understand the Fibres It’s More Than Just Texture
Different fibres offer different benefits. Here’s what we often recommend to our customers:
-
Wool: Soft, durable, naturally stain-resistant ideal for busy households. Many of our hand-tufted rugs use premium wool, bringing warmth and longevity.
-
Polyester & Polypropylene: Great for families or pet-friendly homes. These are budget-conscious, easy to clean, and available in countless styles.
-
Natural Fibres (Jute, Sisal): Earthy, tactile, and perfect for layering or coastal looks. Just keep them out of damp areas.

3. Size Isn’t Guesswork It’s a Game-Changer
One of the biggest mistakes we see is rugs that are too small. The right size will completely transform your room’s proportions.
Here’s a rough guide:
-
Living Room: Go big. It should anchor the entire seating area.
-
Dining Room: Add at least 60–70cm beyond your table on all sides.
-
Bedroom: For queen or king beds, choose a rug that extends at least two-thirds underneath, or add runners.

There’s no right or wrong when it comes to rug design just what feels right for your home.

-
Abstract patterns and bold colours can bring energy and character to minimalist spaces.
