how to choose a rug for your space

Tip #1 – Consider your space

Before you go into any store or jump online, first stand in the room and look at the space in terms of dimension and function.

Consider:

  • What kind of style would complement the room?
  • Roughly how big do I need the rug to be?
  • What is the function of this rug?
  • How durable does it need to be?

Tips:

For a place with high foot traffic like a front hallway or living room, consider dark tones, tougher materials and a flatter weave. If you’re buying a new entry hall rug, invest in a welcome mat (this will come in especially handy for eliminating wet winter footprints).

For a bedroom you may want something fluffy and comforting OR, if you want a rug for under the kitchen table, select a flat weave fabric that is easy to clean.
