CHOOSING THE RIGHT RUG

5 RUG TIPS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS


Adding a rug to any room is one of the easiest ways to update your interiors and transform the look of a space. Finding the perfect rug all depends on the location, size and style of the room. Here are some of my tips to consider before your next rug purchase!

1: Don’t skimp on size! Choosing a rug that is too small will make your room feel less spacious. In living rooms I recommend using a rug that is large enough for the front legs of the furniture to be on it.

2: Try adding a runner to your staircase! Featured here in a project we are working on using Stark Carpet! Stark Carpet is a top notch brand and has some of our favorite patterns for stair runners and area rugs.

A staircase featuring a fun runner will create a beautiful focal point in your home. Not to mention the added comfort and decrease of noise..

3: Learn to love color! Some pattern and contrast can really create a happy space.

4: Why not try layering? I suggest using a larger neutral rug and throwing a smaller patterned one over it.

5: Using a rug pad will keep everything in place and stop any potential slipping / sliding. It also offers a layer of added cushion! These are available at almost any hardware or furniture store, including:

Lowe’s & The Home Depot
