Rugs

At IKEA, you’ll find affordable rugs for every room and every need

An IKEA rug can transform a room: it feels soft underfoot, softens footsteps and other sounds, and helps create a calm, cosy atmosphere. With colours, patterns and textures, it adds accents and brings structure that ties furniture, walls and decoration together. At the same time, it adds warmth and comfort to every room. Here are just a few of the options you’ll find with us:

• High-pile rugs with long, cosy fibres offer maximum comfort and effective sound-dampening in living and sleeping areas.
• Low-pile rugs with short, durable fibres are hard-wearing, easy to care for and ideal for busy spaces such as hallways.
• Kitchen rugs help protect delicate floors from dropped items and keep your feet warm while you cook. They’re also especially easy to care for.
• Runner rugs for the entrance area catch dirt and moisture and help protect your floors from wear.
• Outdoor rugs are made for life outside, through sun, wind and rain. Perfect for adding comfort and style to a balcony or terrace, and for soft barefoot days outdoors.

From fluffy rugs that feel almost like walking on clouds, to flatwoven runners that help define different parts of a room, to weather-resistant outdoor rugs, this variety gives every room its own personality. Discover how rugs from IKEA can help make your home feel harmonious while adding practical benefits.

How do I find the right rug size for a bedroom or other rooms?

For a rug in the bedroom, it should fit at least under the bed and bedside tables. That way, you’ll feel something soft under your feet as soon as you get up. In the living room, take your sofa and armchairs as your guide. The rug should be large enough for the front legs of the furniture to sit on it. For coffee tables and side tables, make sure the rug extends at least 20 cm all the way around.

Which materials work best for rugs in busy areas?

Low-pile rugs made from synthetic or natural fibres are especially hard-wearing and easy to care for. They’re a good fit for hallways, kitchens or children’s rooms. For the entrance area or bathroom, a durable flatwoven rug is often a practical choice. At IKEA, you’ll find stylish, practical and easy-care options that cope well with moisture and dirt. For extra cosiness, cotton and wool are naturally dirt-repellent and durable, while also feeling softer underfoot, which makes them especially well suited to living spaces.

How can I style rugs in a minimalist home?

Choose a rug in muted colours or with a subtle pattern. A plain low-pile rug in grey, beige or white, for example, blends in easily with Scandinavian-style interiors and modern rooms. Add cushions in similar tones to tie the look together. That creates a calm, harmonious feel without visual clutter.

What are some creative ways to use rugs in small rooms?

In small rooms, lighter-coloured rugs can work wonders by helping the space feel bigger and more open. The shape of your rug can make a difference too. Around rug softens stricter lines and can create a cosy zone even in a compact room. You can also layer smaller rugs, for example by placing a runner over a larger rug. This adds depth and structure. Add a floor lamp and curtains in matching colours, and the room will instantly feel warmer and more inviting.

How do I clean and care for different types of rugs?

Regular vacuuming helps keep any rug fresh. For high-pile rugs, we recommend reducing the suction and avoiding a rotating brush. Low-pile rugs can usually handle more thorough vacuuming. It’s best to treat spills straight away with a damp cloth. Some of our rugs are also machine washable, but always check the care instructions for the specific rug. If needed, you can also take the rug outside and beat it to remove deep-down dust and freshen up the fibres.
