Your Most Frequently Asked Questions Answered

What size area rug should I choose for my living room?

For living rooms, choose large rugs (240x300cm) that accommodate at least the front legs of furniture. Allow 30-60cm beyond your sofa for balanced proportions. Extra-large rugs work well in open-plan spaces, creating a unified appearance that defines the room perfectly.

How do I clean and maintain my rug?

Vacuum weekly using appropriate settings (no beater bar for high-pile rugs). Rotate periodically to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately - never rub! Wool rugs need professional cleaning yearly, while synthetics can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water.

Which rug material is best for high-traffic areas?

For high-traffic areas, choose wool for natural resilience and soil resistance. Synthetic materials like polypropylene offer excellent durability at lower prices. Flatweaves and low-pile constructions withstand heavy use better, while indoor-outdoor rugs provide maximum durability in extremely busy spaces.

What rug style works best with modern furniture?

Modern furniture pairs beautifully with geometric patterns, abstract designs, or solid-coloured rugs with interesting textures. Look for clean lines and contemporary colours that complement rather than compete with your furniture. Natural materials with minimal patterns create a functional, harmonious space.

Are natural fibre rugs good for households with allergies?

Yes! Natural fibre rugs like wool naturally repel dust and allergens compared to synthetics. Wool, sisal, jute, and cotton rugs are excellent options for allergy sufferers, as they're less likely to harbour dust mites while adding earthy tones and texture.

How do I choose the right colour for my rug?

Consider your existing décor, including wall colour and furniture. For versatility, neutral tones work well as a foundation. If your furniture is natural and neutral, a vibrant rug adds personality. Lighter colours make spaces feel larger, while darker tones create intimacy.

Can I layer area rugs?

Absolutely! Layering rugs add texture, dimension, and visual interest to your space. Place a smaller decorative rug over a larger, neutral one. Ensure the bottom rug extends at least 30cm beyond the top rug on all sides for a balanced, designer look.
