1. Determine the size and shape of the rug required for each space: Measure the areas where you wish to place the rug and determine the appropriate size and shape.
2. Consider the purpose of the space: Think about how the room is used and how the rug will be utilised, such as high traffic areas that require durable materials and low traffic areas that can be used for decorative purposes.
3. Select the right material: Rugs come in a variety of materials, including wool, silk, cotton, synthetic blends or natural fibres. Consider the level of cleaning required, durability, softness, texture, and colour.
4. Choose a colour scheme: Rugs can be used to anchor a room’s colour scheme or add a pop of colour, texture or pattern to an otherwise neutral space.
5. Consider the style of the room: Think about the style of the room or your preference, whether you want a classic, contemporary, or traditional look.
6. Take care of allergies and sensitivities: If you have allergies or sensitivities to dust, be mindful of the rug’s texture and cleaning requirements.
7. Don’t forget about the padding: Selecting the right rug underlay will enhance the performance and lifespan of the rug while also protecting your flooring.
