Why do you need a rug?
Aside from adding luxurious style to your home decor using colour, texture and design, thick area rugs provide several practical benefits:
- Large rugs may provide added thermal insulation.
- Floor rugs may also provide sound insulation on hard floor surfaces.
- Shaggy and fluffy rugs deliver softness and comfort underfoot.
- A rug for your living room defines distinct living and dining spaces.
- Modern and traditional rugs create a new look without replacing the flooring.
- Rugs provide physical protection and comfort for kids playing on the floor.
What are the different types of rugs?
Rugs have different purposes:
- Floor rugs increase insulation, comfort and create a visual impact.
- Throw rugs provide warmth and style.
- Visibly beautiful rugs can also be used as wall art.
- Flat floor rugs placed beneath office chairs aid manoeuvrability.

How do I choose a rug for my living room?
The things to consider when choosing a rug for your living room include:
- Colour
- Design
- Textures
- Shape
- Fibre
- Size
- Thickness
Rug size is one of the most important features. Choose the biggest rug to fit within the area and with your budget, as a rug that is too small will make the space look smaller.
The colours should complement existing decor. They can contrast if the tones match, and some colours in the rug should match something in the room, perhaps a small home decor item, a lamp or a piece of furniture.
When choosing the best rug fibre for your living room, keep in mind your:
- Environment
- Lifestyle
- Budget
- Home Decor Style
Your environment includes climate and conditions. If you’re buying rugs in Melbourne where cold winters and hot summers prevail, natural or synthetic rug fibres will work but wool rugs will provide the best insulation.
If you’re buying rugs in far north Queensland you’ll find synthetic rugs will cope with high humidity better than natural fibre rugs like jute, which don’t like getting wet.
Rugs for living rooms in busy homes with young children fare best if they are stain resistant and easy to clean.
Can you wash rugs?
The care and maintenance of rugs is determined by the fibre, so always follow the manufacturer’s care guide before washing your rugs.
Some rugs can be sponged clean or professionally steam cleaned, outdoor rugs made from 100% polypropylene can be hosed clean, while others prefer just a vacuum or a brush.
