Textured rugs to warm up your living space

As the heart of the home, living spaces tend to be high-traffic areas so you’ll need a quality rug that is both durable and comfortable. The perfect rug can set the scene in your home, providing an opportunity to bring in texture in the form of wool loops or hand-tufted patterns. Floor rugs define spaces helping to group furniture together and create a visual connection. In a large living and dining space, a rug beneath both the dining setting and the lounge setting completes the look and purpose of each zone. What’s more, if the rugs are related by colour or style, it further enhances the harmony of the room.

Keep in mind that if you’re also using hallway runners that are visible from your living space, you should visually connect them with the colour or style of your other rugs.

Why do you need a rug?

Aside from adding luxurious style to your home décor using colour, texture and design, thick area rugs provide several practical benefits:

1. Large rugs may provide added thermal insulation.
2. Floor rugs may also provide sound insulation on hard floor surfaces.
3. A rug for your living room defines distinct living and dining spaces.
4. Modern and traditional rugs create a new look without replacing the flooring.
5. Kids’ rugs provide physical protection and comfort for kids playing on the floor.
6. Bedroom rugs soften your room, absorb echoes and sound and provide a soft landing for your feet when you get up in the morning.
7. Pet-friendly rugs are made from easy-to-clean synthetic materials like polyester.

What are the different types of rugs?

When you’re looking for a new rug, you’ll find there are many different types. To find the right rug for your space, keep in mind they have different purposes, such as:

1. Floor rugs increase insulation and comfort and create a visual impact.
2. Throw rugs provide warmth and style.
3. Visibly beautiful rugs can also be used as wall art.
4. Flatweave floor rugs placed beneath office chairs aid manoeuvrability.
5. Shag rugs deliver softness and comfort underfoot.
6. Hand-knotted rugs are made by hand with thousands of knots tied to a foundation.
7. Runner rugs are designed for hallways.

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 within your budget, as a rug that is too small will make the space look smaller.

The colours should complement existing décor. Consider the colour and texture of anything nearby such as a dining room rug so you can match or complement the tones and style. Your rug should match something in the room, perhaps a home décor 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 décor 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, synthetic rugs will cope with high humidity better than natural rugs like jute, which don’t like getting wet.

Rugs for living rooms in busy homes with young children wear best if they are stain resistant and easy to clean.

Can you wash a rug?

The care and maintenance of rugs are determined by their fibre type. 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.
