How to Choose the Right Rug

The right rug brings numerous benefits to a room's design. A well-chosen rug will complement the space and highlight the room's décor. Here's what you need to know to make the right choice.

Opening the GaleriaCuloarea is what truly makes an impact. If there's already a varied chromatic motif in the room, then the rug should remain in a neutral shade to complement the furniture and existing colors.

If you wish to start decorating with a rug and choose a model with a colorful pattern and geometric motif, you can then select the other decorations based on the impact the rug creates.

Texture is often overlooked, but a room with a mix of textures offers a rich and pleasing aesthetic. While wool provides this pleasure, many other materials can be coordinated with textile elements such as sofas or armchairs. However, consider the material and how easily it can be cleaned.

Size is important for a properly decorated space. As a general rule, the rug should encompass the living room area corresponding to the sofa, coffee table, and other pieces such as armchairs or chairs. It is not mandatory for the rug's length to cover the entire length of the room. Sometimes, the rug can sit underneath furniture or only in front of it.

The idea is for feet to be able to rest on the rug and not directly on the floor. The same applies to the dining area: chairs should be easily movable, but their legs should reach the rug when seated at the table.

The shape of the room should also be considered. Square rugs or even round ones suit square rooms, while rectangular rooms are best complemented by rugs with the same shape and orientation as the room itself for a harmonious visual effect.
