  • How to Choose A Statement Rug

How to Choose A Statement Rug

A rug is not only a practical necessity but also a stylish addition to any room. The right rug can tie a whole room together, adding colour, pattern, and texture. But with so many choices on the market, how do you choose a statement rug that is perfect for your space? Here are a few tips to help you narrow down your search. We will cover:

  • How to Choose a Rug
  • How to Layer Rugs
  • How to Place a Rug in a Living Room
  • Can You Put a Rug on Carpet?

How to Choose a Rug

There are four things to keep in mind when shopping for a rug: size, shape, style and material. The size of the rug should be proportional to the size of the room. So, if the room is small, you might want to choose small rugs that won’t overwhelm the space. The shape of the rug should complement the shape of the furniture; for example, a square coffee table looks best with a square or rectangular rug.

The style of the rug should match the style of the room. If the space is formal, go for a more traditional rug, but if it has a more modern feel, opt for something more contemporary. Finally, consider the material of your rug. If you want statement rugs in high-traffic areas of the home, you may want something that is easy to clean, so a wool rug would be a good choice for these areas.

How to Layer Rugs

Layering rugs is a great way to add texture to your floor space. It’s also easy to change up your décor without starting from scratch by simply buying a rug. To layer rugs successfully, start by putting an area rug in neutral colours down first and then layer with a smaller rug on top of it in a bolder print or colour. The key is to make sure that both the base rug and layered rugs share a common design element, such as material, colour or pattern. If you’re unsure where to start, you can always consult an interior designer or rug designer for advice.

How to Place a Rug in a Living Room

The living room is one of the most popular places to put a rug. But where exactly should you place it? The answer depends on the layout of your furniture. If you have two focal points (e.g. a fireplace and a TV), anchor each grouping of furniture with its own area rug. If you have one focal point (e.g, a fireplace), orient the furniture around it and place the rug in front of the fireplace. And finally, if you don’t have a focal point, define a seating area with an area rug and arrange the furniture around it. 

Can You Put a Rug On Carpet?

Yes! In fact, layering an area rug over carpet can enhance the comfort and insulation in a bedroom or other living space. If you are layering a rug on top of carpet, just make sure that both are securely attached to avoid any bunching or slipping. Also, take care when laying your rug over the carpet as you could risk tripping over the edge of the rug when you walk across it.

When shopping for a rug remember to keep size in mind as well as shape and style in order to choose one that is perfect for your needs! Layering rugs can create depth and add texture to any room while still being functional. When placing a rug, taking the right measurements are key and you can get creative with placement, patterns and layering to give the room a whole new look.
