BEST RUG STYLE FOR YOUR SPACE

In deciding on the best modern rug style for your interior space, things to consider include:

• Living room rugs: Being a high traffic area, choose a low pile resilient rug made from wool or jute. The bigger, the better to include all your furniture, even if just the front legs of your couch. Place your coffee table in the centre to maintain balance. If you’re going for the maximum size, leave about 30cm of bare floor visible around your rug.
• Dining room rugs: Floor rugs are a great way to define your dining area, especially in an open plan home. Choose a floor rug that is large enough to extend under all your chairs even when they are pulled out. Whether round, square or rectangular table, we have the perfect shaped rug for you! Choose a low pile rug that doesn’t catch and hide food.
• Bedroom rugs: If your sleepy feet have a morning wishlist, then a soft shag rug with a thick pile is what they’re dreaming of. For bedroom floor rug size, either opt for a large rug extending under your bed and including your side tables, or runners for the sides of your bed, placed under your side table and the feet of your bed.
• Kitchen rugs: These need to work hard in the space that there is. Choose a stain resistant, spill-proof and durable fibre that is both practical and enhances the space. An outdoor rug is also a popular choice for a kitchen, designed to handle much wear and tear.
• Hallways and entrances: Hallways and entrances are high traffic areas, so start by choosing a rug in a practical colour (never a white rug!). Look for a rug that is stain resistant, pet friendly and easy to clean and maintain — able to withstand lots of footsteps, pets and kids included! Runners and smaller sized rugs are also available in beautiful designs and neutral colours.

RUGS FOR HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS

High traffic areas require a durable floor rug that is designed to handle lots of activity, spills, scuffs and whatever daily life drops on it. High traffic rugs include rugs for the living room, kids rugs for play rooms and bedrooms, and rugs for entrance halls and hallways — basically any space in your home that enjoys lots of activity. In choosing a modern rug that is constructed to last and withstand days, weeks, months and years of household use, consider:

• Wool rugs: Wool is naturally stain and water repellent. Made from 100% New Zealand felted wool, the custom rug range in a variety of designs, colours and sizes is the perfect foundation for high traffic spaces.
• Wool blends: The Matterhorn range, is a wool and cotton rug — a great choice for high traffic areas. This flatweave rug is a tightly woven traditional rug and is hardwearing and stylish — the perfect rug for any area of your home. The Travertine range is a beautifully crafted viscose/wool rug, soft underfoot and the perfect addition to a bedroom or lounge room. If you’re looking for an elegant silver rug or metallic inspired colours, choose from this range’s colour palette of pewter, marble or buff.
• Synthetic rugs: A soft non-shed pile modern rug is comforting underfoot and also protects your floor. Choose a beautiful passage runner from the Evoke range made from 100% heat-set polypropylene or the City range, which combines easy care and style in an acrylic fibre synthetic rug.

ARE MODERN RUGS BEST FOR A LIVING ROOM?

Contemporary rugs are at home in any room of the house, be it a living room, dining space, a hallway, kitchen or a bedroom. The versatile designs, colour palettes and variety of fibres make modern rugs suitable for both formal and casual areas of the home. Add a high quality designer rug to any space to effortlessly transform the look of a room. As the perfect foundational rug, browse the Bondi range. This rug collection offers casual style in a natural rug and is available in a choice of block colours. From neutrals that sit peacefully in your living room to warm and rustic hues that add quiet charm to bedrooms.

RUG STYLING

A floor rug is an easy and affordable way to bring change and interest to any interior space. The first step in choosing your rug style is to measure the room or interior space. Your rug shouldn’t be too big or too small for the room but should define the space. Your floor rug should frame your furniture in a room. Whatever your room and whatever rug you choose, it’s best to place a rug pad under your floor rug. A rug pad not only makes your floor rug non-slip but also increases your rug’s softness as well as helps to extend your rug’s life.

NATURAL COLOUR RUGS AVAILABLE

Natural colour rugs are a blank canvas to build colour on and ambience from. Whether you choose neutrals and beiges to a charcoal grey rug, as a foundational layer, a natural colour rug adds warmth and comfort to any room. Complementing other interior pieces, either matching with minimalist Scandi furniture or enhancing bright and bold items, a natural colour rug is a stylish and timeless choice.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A MODERN RUG?

When looking to buy a designer rug, there are various things to consider, which may include:

• What room or interior space? High traffic needs? Indoors or outdoors?
• How big is the room? And what shape is the space?
• Your personal style and design preference? Bold? Neutral? Scandi? Boho? Moroccan? Eclectic?
• What fibre to choose? This impacts on quality, durability and care. Also factor in any allergy considerations.

EASY TO MAINTAIN AND CLEAN

Vacuum your modern rugs regularly to keep them clean and to pick up stray fibres that might shed. Because each rug’s fibre is different – from jute to wool to synthetic – when it comes to spills or stains, read the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid causing any damage. For any extra advice on how to maintain and clean your floor rug, or for answers to any other FAQs about buying a new rug, make contact with a Carpet Court team member.
