Frequently Asked Questions
What size rug should I buy for a small room?
For small rooms, consider a rug that allows for at least the front legs of your furniture to sit on it. This typically means a 5x7 or 6x9 rug, but always measure your space for the best fit.
Can I use a round rug in a rectangular room?
Yes! A round rug can add interest and soften the lines in a rectangular room. Ensure it’s proportionate to the space and complements your furniture arrangement.
Should I choose a larger or smaller rug?
A larger rug can unify a space, while a smaller rug can create distinct areas. Consider your room's layout and intended use when making your choice.
What material is best for rugs?
The best material depends on your needs. Wool is durable and soft, while synthetic fibers are stain-resistant. Consider where the rug will be placed and your lifestyle before choosing.
How do I clean my rug?
Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a suitable cleaning solution based on the rug's material. Professional cleaning is recommended for delicate fabrics.
Can I layer rugs?
Yes! Layering rugs can add texture and interest to your decor. Use contrasting sizes and textures for a cohesive look. Ensure the top rug is secured to avoid slipping.
How often should I replace my rug?
Rug lifespan varies by material and usage. High-traffic areas may need replacements every 5-10 years, while well-cared-for rugs can last much longer. Regular maintenance can extend their life.
