POPULAR STYLES OF RUGS IN AUSTRALIA
Eco-friendly and natural fibre rugs are getting more popular, with more and more people looking for sustainable options for their homes. Rugs made from jute, recycled fibres, sisal and wool are in demand for their environmental benefits and natural appeal. When it comes to style, rugs with bold colours and unique patterns are trendy.
At Carpet Court, we're right on trend with our rug collection. Here, you'll find modern rugs featuring contemporary designs with vibrant hues and dynamic patterns, which are perfect for adding a splash of colour and a dash of personality to any room. Our traditional rugs also embrace this trend as they bring the timeless beauty of Persian and Oriental designs to your living space with a modern twist.
HOW TO CHOOSE A RUG?
When you're looking for the right rug, it's not just about looks. A truly great rug has specific qualities that make it stand out, such as:
- Durability: Think about who will be living in the space. Whether it's busy foot traffic, playful kids, pets or heavy furniture, a good rug should be durable.
- Hypoallergenic: If your family has allergies, consider non-shedding fibres for floor rugs, especially in bedrooms.
- Weather resistance: Think about the sort of environment the rug is going into. Whether you're in a part of Australia that experiences intense humidity or cold winters, or if the rug is meant for moisture-prone spots like kitchens, choose the rug's fibres appropriate to these conditions.
- Easy to maintain: A quality rug is about how it holds up over time. Go for rugs that require minimal effort to keep clean and look fresh.
- Right rug fibres: Selecting the perfect rug fibre depends on your specific requirements, whether it's warmth and insulation, durability or ease of maintenance. For busy households with rugs placed in high-traffic zones, opt for modern rugs in synthetic fibres with good soil and stain resistance that are easy to clean. A luxury Australian home or home in a cold climate might benefit from a wool rug that provides warmth and comfort underfoot.
- Right rug size and shape: Choose a rug that fits well in its space, both in size and shape. A good rug should be large enough to complement the area and connect with the main furniture around it.
HOW TO CHOOSE A RUG COLOUR?
Whether it's a statement piece or a subtle complement to your room, the right rug colour effortlessly reflects your personal style and brings a room together. A grey rug brings sophistication to modern spaces, while a blue rug creates a peaceful ambience in your bedroom. Choose a beige rug for a versatile, neutral foundation that works seamlessly with your décor.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE RUG FOR MY ROOM?
A rule of thumb when choosing the right rug size is to opt for a large rug to make the room feel more thoughtfully designed and put together.
In areas like corridors or large landings, choose a rug that fits well without touching the walls or other objects. Leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches gap around the rug makes it look neat and fit comfortably in the space.
In dining rooms, the rug should be in proportion to the dining table. It must be large enough so that dining chairs stay on the rug even when pulled out. For round tables, a round rug works best. Aim for a rug that extends about 65-75cm around the table's perimeter.
WHAT SIZE RUG WILL FIT IN MY LIVING ROOM?
For the living room, select the largest room rug size that comfortably fits the space. A larger rug helps define the area and makes it look and feel spacious. Not only does this bring style to your room, but it also creates a sense of harmony that makes your space feel more inviting and well put together.
WHAT SIZE OF RUG SHOULD I PUT UNDER MY BED?
When it comes to your bedroom, rug size matters for aesthetics and functionality. Choose a bedroom rug that's large enough to extend under your bed and bedside tables or one that stops just short of them. This ensures a comfortable surface underfoot when you get out of bed and adds to the overall harmony of your bedroom décor.
CHOOSING THE MATERIAL FOR YOUR RUGS
Rug materials are often selected for their durability, comfort and how well they complement home décor. At Carpet Court, we understand this, and that’s why we offer a wide range of rugs in various materials that suit your taste and stand up to daily wear and tear, including:
- Wool rugs: Wool is a natural rug fibre that’s naturally fire-resistant, a great insulator and soil and stain-resistant. This makes wool rugs an excellent option in cool-climate family homes.
- Synthetic rugs: Synthetic fibres work exceptionally well in high-traffic areas such as the dining room, living room, hallway, family room and home office. They’re stain-resistant, moisture repellent and easy to maintain, making them perfect for all living spaces in busy family homes.
- Jute rugs: These eco-friendly, natural fibre rugs made from renewable plant fibres come in a variety of designs, colours and blends. They effortlessly fit into different interior styles.
Aside from pure wool, synthetic and jute, Carpet Court offers rugs made from other materials. These include wool blends, eco-friendly recycled polyester and cotton, soft and durable microfibre and more. There’s a perfect rug from our wide rug collection that perfectly suits every home.
WHAT IS A JUTE RUG?
Jute rugs are eco-friendly floor coverings made from jute plants. They're not just sturdy; they’re also incredibly soft and breathable. Thanks to their golden colour and organic texture, they add a natural, earthy touch to any room. Here are some reasons why they’re the perfect rug for your living space:
- Natural and eco-friendly: Jute rugs are good for the environment because jute is biodegradable.
- Soft and durable: These rugs are both tough and comfy to walk on.
- Fits any style: They fit various interior styles, from rustic to modern.
- Sturdy: Jute rugs handle high-traffic areas well.
- Affordable: Jute rugs won't break the bank.
- Easy to clean: You can vacuum and spot-clean them, so they're easy to care for.
- Handwoven charm: Many jute rugs are handwoven, giving your space a unique touch.
WHAT IS THE BEST QUALITY RUG TO BUY?
Determining the best quality rug comes down to your individual needs and style. Consider factors like where you'll place the rug in your home and what design appeals to you. At Carpet Court, we've got a range to suit different preferences.
For outdoor spaces, our outdoor rugs are not just stylish but also highly functional. They’re made from durable polypropylene, stand up well to sun exposure, are a breeze to clean and bring an elegant feel to decks, pergolas and other outdoor areas.
Our custom rugs are an excellent option if you’re looking for something truly unique and personalised. These rugs come in different colours and designs to let you express your style. They're crafted with care to fit your space perfectly, so you’re sure your rug isn't just high quality but also a perfect match for your home and personal taste.
HOW TO STOP A RUG FROM MOVING ON THE CARPET?
If you’re tired of your rug slipping and sliding on a slippery carpet, we've got simple solutions to keep it in place! Follow these tips to make sure your rug stays put on your carpet so you don't have to worry about it moving around:
- Use a special anti-slip underlay designed to grip both the rug and the carpet underneath.
- Try rug tape, velcro strips or double-sided carpet tape for extra security.
- Place your furniture legs on the corners of the rug to keep it in place.
RUG CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Whether it's a quick spruce-up or a deeper clean, the right approach can make a difference in your rug. Here's a straightforward guide for basic rug maintenance:
- Move furniture off the rug. If you can, take the rug outside and place it on a clean surface.
- Vacuum the rug on both sides to remove surface dirt and dust.
- For any spills or stains, gently dab the area with water and mild detergent. Avoid scrubbing to prevent the stain from spreading.
- If your rug is small, rinse it with water to remove any soap residue. Do this gently and try not to soak the rug completely.
- Allow the rug to air dry completely. If possible, hang it up or lay it flat in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Once the rug is dry, go over it with a vacuum again to remove any remaining dirt and fluff up the fibres.
Cleaning rugs in high-traffic areas like kids' rooms can be a bit tricky. The good news is that picking the right rug can make it way easier to keep things tidy.
For children's rooms, avoid white rugs that tend to show stains more easily. Instead, opt for kids rugs from Carpet Court. They come in a variety of bright and neutral colours and are made from durable acrylic pile to withstand the wear and tear of energetic play while still being comfortable underfoot. They’re also easily washable rugs, which are essential for any kids' room.

- Right rug colour and design: This is influenced by your personal style to enhance your living space. Do you want your rug to be the focal point in the room or to complement other features? Choose bold designs and colours if you want the rug to be a stand-out accessory. If you prefer a rug to quietly complement other features, pick neutral or natural colours and a quieter design.
SHOULD RUGS MATCH FLOORING?
Floor rugs are incredibly versatile and look as beautiful on timber flooring as on concrete, carpets or tiles. Rugs are also an excellent way to keep your hard floors looking as good as new by protecting them from damage, such as dents and scratches.
Our fabulous range of rugs is also adept at providing acoustic insulation on hard floor surfaces, helping absorb noises like footsteps. This is why floor rugs are a great addition to your upstairs living spaces and bedroom floors if you’re in a two-storey home.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT RUG SIZE?
Rug size is often an area that buyers get wrong. A rule of thumb is if it’s big enough to fill the room or the living or dining space, it’s the right size.
Small rugs can be lost in a space, while large rugs that sit under the sofa, dining table, coffee table or even side tables feel luxurious and spacious and can add to your homewares and room décor. If in doubt, always go bigger – as long as the room rug fits into your living space.
You can even use a Moroccan rug or flatweave designer rug as wall art!
WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF RUG FOR A CHILD’S ROOM?
A starting point in choosing a rug for a kid’s room is probably to avoid a white rug! Our huge range of kids rugs is specially designed for kids’ rooms. These rugs are bestsellers for many reasons — they provide a soft, comfy place to play, help protect your floor and are also tough enough to withstand high-energy kids’ activities.
Australian designed and made from an acrylic pile, Carpet Court’s kids floor rugs are durable and feature a super soft plush pile in bright and neutral colours. To maximise style, match a kids rug to quilt covers and bedroom accessories for a coordinated look.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING RUGS?
Interior design guru and Carpet Court ambassador Darren Palmer recommends adding rugs to your space for a variety of reasons. The practical and aesthetic benefits of thick and luxurious floor rugs include:
- Thermal and acoustic insulation
- Softness and comfort underfoot
- Adding colour and textural design elements

What different features should I look for when buying a rug?
When deciding which is the right rug for you, there a few important lifestyle factors to consider:
- Think about who will be living in the space, how robust does the rug need to be to withstand foot traffic, pets, kids and heavy furniture? Does it need to be a rug which is easy to clean?
- If your family suffers from allergies consider non-shedding fibres for floor rugs, especially in bedrooms.
- What sort of environment is the rug going into? Do you live in an area of Australia with high humidity or very cold winters? Is the rug going into a wet area of the home, or a kitchen space? Choose rug fibres appropriate to the conditions in these scenarios.
- What is the right size and shape of rug for the space into which it is going? Ensure the rug is big enough to define the area and make contact with the main pieces of furniture in that space.
How do you choose the right rug for your living space?
The important things to consider when choosing a rug for your living space includes:
- Size: An area rug helps to define the living room space, particularly important in open plan designs. Ensure your living room rug is large enough to include part of your lounge furniture. Generally speaking, bigger is definitely better.
- Colour and Design: This is influenced by your personal style to enhance your living space. Do you want your rug to be the focal point in the room or to complement other features? If you want the rug to be a stand-out accessory, choose bold designs and colours. If you prefer a living room rug to quietly complement other features, choose neutral or natural colours and a quieter design.
- Fibres: Choose the right carpet fibre based on your needs, such as warmth and insulation, durability, and easy of cleaning. If yours is a busy home and the rug will occupy high traffic areas, modern rugs in synthetic fibres have good soil and stain resistance and are easy to clean. A luxury home or home in a cold climate might benefit from a wool rug providing sumptuous warmth and comfort under foot.
What size rug should I buy?
Rug size is often an area that buyers get wrong. A great rule of thumb is if it’s big enough to fill the room or the living or dining space, it’s the right size.
Small rugs can be lost in a space while large rugs that sit under the sofa, a dining table, coffee tables or even side tables, feels luxurious and spacious and can add to your homewares and room decor. If in doubt, always go bigger when choosing an indoor rug – as long as it fits into your living space.
