Choosing the Right Rug

Choosing the right rug for an area requires planning. Home, work, play or retreat area should make a statement. If you are working with an empty area build from the foundation up. Choose the flooring first, then plan the paint, furnishing, fabrics & accessories around the floor.

  • Imagine the total look of the room or space you are creating
  • What will the area be used for
  • Area with high traffic should have a pattern in mid to darker tones to down play traffic patterns
  • A sitting area could have a lighter more fragile pattern
  • Lighter rugs will increase the perceived size of the room
  • Darker rugs will create a warmer, intimate decorum
  • Color, style & texture of the rug will set the “personality” of the room
  • Consider the existing floor & size of the area when determining the size of rug. Do you want to play down the existing floor, then get a larger rug with an overall pattern. If you want to show off the existing floor get a smaller rug in solid or tone on tone pattern
