Which rug suits which room? Tips from Dial A Rug.

We all love decorating our homes. It’s a place we can call our own that reflects our personalities and styles, and quite frankly, anything goes. From couches to countertops, light fittings to curtains, the choices these days are endless, and that certainly rings true for today’s rug options.

Picking a rug ultimately comes down to your style, preference and budget, however certain rugs are better suited to certain areas of the home, and if you’re new to the world of rugs, choosing the most suitable rug for your space can seem quite overwhelming, but the Dial A Rug team are here to assist with some guidance.

Let’s start with your entrance hall. Generally, this is the zone with the highest traffic in the house. Because people constantly come and go, this area is bound to attract much more dirt and dust, and therefore choosing a flat wave or non-shaggy rug is the best option, which can be selected from the Refold or Remix ranges.

These types of rugs won’t trap too much dust, and are easy to clean with a simple vacuum and will help in creating create a welcoming entrance way. Moving onto the living room, pretty much anything goes, as these rugs are generally placed in the middle of the room, anchored with a coffee table or feature.

Depending on your room décor and colours, the choice is yours with regards to the pattern and material, and whether you want to create a feature, add something complimentary or add texture to your room. Some Dial A Rug options include their Hazel, Sphere or Nomadic ranges, which range from low pile to shaggy rugs.

When it comes to the dining room, the Dial A Rug team suggest that only flatweave rugs, such as their Kiwi, Mapris or Daisy ranges are used, all of which offer a host of designs to choose from. Why opt for flatweave you may ask?

The dining room area is bound to have its fair share of spills, and therefore ease of cleaning the rug should be your top concern. Flatweave rugs, which can be used for indoor and outdoor use, are incredibly easy to clean, ensuring that your dining room space remains as elegant as possible.

Bedrooms are generally low traffic areas, and should be spaces that exudes serenity and calm, and something that is pleasurable underfoot. More, “fluffy,” or shaggy rugs are a perfect fit for the bedroom, as they will not only aid in bringing texture to the room, but will bring an element of elegance to the room.

Depending on the size of the room, you can add a large area rug, a round rug or two smaller rugs that can be added to each side of the bed, which will help you to start your morning on a soft note.
