In home decor, rugs are one of the most powerful details defining the character of a space. The right rug combines both comfort and aesthetics, adding warmth and identity to your room.
So how can you choose the perfect rug from dozens of models, colors, and styles?
At Rugs United, with our brands catering to diverse lifestyles, we've compiled a few golden rules to make this decision easier.
1. Choosing a Carpet According to the Room Size
The first step when choosing a carpet is to accurately measure the dimensions of the room .
A small rug can make a room look narrower than it is, while a rug that's too large can make it look disproportionate.
- In the living room , ideally the rug should lie above the front legs of the sofas.
- In the bedroom , a rug framing the bed creates a warm atmosphere.
- In narrow spaces like hallways and kitchens , long, thin runner rugs offer both a functional and aesthetic solution.
You can find options for every size in the Rugs United collections — whether for a minimalist living space or a spacious hall.
2. Color Harmony: Balance between Walls, Furniture, and Carpets
The impact of a rug is determined not only by its pattern but also by the relationship it establishes with the colors around it .
Choosing the right colors ties all the elements of the decor together.
- Colorful or patterned rugs can add energy to a room with neutral-toned furniture.
- Brightly colored furniture is balanced by simple rugs in beige, gray, or pastel tones.
- Even the direction your home receives light can influence your choice; warm tones (terracotta, sand, cream) look more balanced in north-facing rooms, while cooler tones (blue, gray, green) appear better in south-facing rooms.
💡 Tip: In Rugs United's "Shop by Colour" category, you can filter rugs by color tone to easily find the perfect match for your home's color palette.
3. Washable Rugs or Woven Rugs?
Modern lifestyles require combining comfort with practicality.
If you live in a house with children or own a pet , washable rugs might be a perfect choice for you.
- Our Homshtag and Bordered & Aesthetic brands offer washable rugs that are easy to clean, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.
- If you're looking for a more traditional texture, our Comfort Carpet and Creation brand woven collections offer both warmth and a sense of quality.
Remember, choosing a rug that suits your lifestyle is key to long-lasting use.
