Everything about Rugs
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I choose the right size for living room?
To create a balanced look, the rug should be large enough to fit under the front legs of all major furniture pieces, such as sofas and chairs. Typically, an 3x4m or 2.5x3.5m rug works well in most living rooms, but it depends on the size of your space and furniture arrangement.
2. What type of rug is best for a dining room?
For dining rooms, we recommend rugs that are easy to clean and large enough to allow all chair legs to remain on the rug when pulled out. Flatweave or low-pile rugs are ideal, as they offer durability and can handle spills.
3. Can I use a rug outdoors?
Yes, outdoor rugs are designed with weather-resistant materials to withstand moisture, sunlight, and dirt. They are a great way to add comfort and style to patios, decks, and verandas.
4. How do I choose a rug for my bedroom?
For a cosy and inviting bedroom, opt for soft, plush rugs like wool or shag. Ideally, the rug should extend beyond the bed by at least 60cm on all sides, giving you a soft surface to step onto when getting out of bed.
5. Can I use the same type of rug in different rooms?
Yes, but it’s important to consider the function of each space. While you can use the same style or material, high-traffic areas might need more durable rugs, whereas bedrooms can have softer, more luxurious options.
6. What’s the best way to clean and maintain dining room rugs?
Clean dining room rugs regularly with vacuuming and spot cleaning as needed. For tougher stains, consult the rug care label for recommended cleaning methods, and consider a professional cleaning service for delicate or heavily used rugs.
