Collection: Rugs

Area rugs are large rugs that are often decorative and used to define a space. They can add comfort and warmth, keeping the space inviting whilst enhancing the interior style and look of the room. Area rugs can be in multiple sizes, colours and styles - perfect for any type of room.

The shape and size of a rug should fit with the layout of the room and complement the furniture in that room. Do you want the rug to fit underneath all of the furniture? To highlight a specific piece of furniture? To be the main feature in the room (a hallway runner, for example)? Or to sit next to the kitchen sink or by the bath?

First think of its use that will then help you understand the size you need.

The position of the rug depends on its size and the layout of your room. If the rug is large enough, you could position it underneath all pieces of furniture in the room. This will bring the room together and create an inviting space. To define the seating area with a small rug, place the front legs of the sofa on its edges. Another option for small spaces, is to simply place the rug in front of the sofa. This will ensure the focal point of the room is the sofa whilst creating a cosy environment. Before buying a rug, it's worth getting masking tape and outlining its size – position the tape where you want to place the rug, this will bring to life the space.

Kitchen rugs aren't essential, but they can provide comfort and warmth to hard floorings, and can act as protection against spillages and stains. A kitchen rug can also add a touch of colour and personality to the room. Kitchen's can often be minimalist in design, so a rug is a perfect way to introduce a new colour scheme.

Cleaning a rug is simple, but it can depend on the material and size. Firstly, a rug should be vacuumed often - to remove dust. If the rug is shaggy, it might be worth looking into a carpet rake. Secondly, for any liquid spills, blot the liquid with a dry cloth to remove surface spill. Lastly, use a rug or dish cleaner to treat the stain and leave it to dry. Also it might be worth dry cleaning every 12- 18 months.
