• Choosing A New Rug

    So you want to buy a new rug but where do you start when it comes to choosing one of the many rugs now available.

    First thing to think about is the location of your rug.  For example, is it going to be in your hallway, lounge, dining room or maybe conservatory?  From here you can then decide on the colour and style for the room.

    If it’s going to be in your hallway you may want to think about a colour that doesn’t show up too much dirt as with people walking through it lots it needs to able to withstand possible stains and dirty shoes!

    If you have a room that feels particularly cold or it has a wooden floor, you may want to choose an extra soft rug in a warm colour to add a more “cosy” feel to the room.  Again if you are looking for a rug for the dining room you may want to avoid choosing a light colour particularly if you use the dining table lots for eating as there is more chance that food and drink will be spilt.

    Depending on the shape of your room and its furniture you may want a rectangle shaped rug or even one of the many round rugs which are also popular.

    Whichever rug you decide to choose make sure you spend the time deciding which is the right one for both you and the room.
