**Rug life: choosing the right rug for your home style

**

Selecting the ideal carpet that matches your home style is an art. Consider the existing décor of your room – whether traditional or modern. Play with patterns and colours that complement or contrast, adding depth and visual interest. Let your carpet be a unique expression of your home's personality.

How do I choose the right rug for every room?

A rug is a perfect way to add colour, texture and coziness to a room. It can even help to muffle noise! While it’s true that rugs and carpets are designed to add beauty and warmth to a room, they’re also used as a place to sit and relax, particularly in homes that have less space. So, if you need a new rug for your home, consider how you use your room before you start your search. 

Living room rugs

Living room rugs are a great way to define the space in a living room and add a touch of style. You can choose a large rug to anchor the room or a few smaller rugs to create different areas.

Rather than gathering around the TV, more and more families are doing several activities at once in the living room, which often sees the rug functioning as an alternative to the sofa. If this sounds familiar, comfort should be a major factor when making your choice.

The look and feel of the living room rug should also be key. As with a sofa, choose a style that complements your other furnishings – for instance, if your walls are a neutral shade, a bright rug can add an accent of colour and individuality. Remember, if you live in a busy household, opt for a rug that can also handle a fair amount of wear and tear.

Bedroom rugs

Rugs and carpets add warmth and comfort to a bedroom and can also help to define the space. If you have a traditional bedroom, you might choose a traditional rug with a geometric pattern. If you have a modern bedroom, you might choose a modern rug with a simple design.

Your rug should be the first thing you sink your toes into after stepping out of bed. So, when choosing a new rug for your bedroom, you want it to feel soft and comfortable underfoot. Go for calming colours rather than bold shades to create a soothing vibe.

For children’s bedrooms, a flat-woven, cotton rug is the best option, given its durability and the fact that it’s easy to clean. Go for a rug with Latex backing – this will ensure it doesn’t move around when your little ones are playing.

Dining room rugs

You can choose a large area rug to cover the entire dining area or a smaller rug to place under the table. Rugs made of durable materials like wool and sisal are a good choice.

Kitchen rugs

Kitchen mats, carpets and runners are a great way to add a touch of style to a kitchen and protect the floor from spills and food. However, it's important to choose a kitchen rug that is durable and easy to clean. Rubber rugs are water-resistant and easy to clean, making them a good choice for kitchens. The same goes for bath mats. A bathroom mat with latex will prevent slipping while the cotton will feel soft underfoot after a shower. 

**Entryway or hallway rugs

Rugs are a great way to define the space in a hallway and protect the floor from dirt and debris. Hallways are high-traffic areas, so choosing a runner or entryway mat that can withstand wear and tear is important.
