It could be that a well-placed area rug could be the visual addition you need to complete your décor and interior design. For instance, a large rug can create a visual focal point that finishes any room, while a few smaller rugs can add layers of delight to the appearance of any room.

What size rug should I get for my living room?
Choose a rug large enough to bring the seating area together. A rug that sits only under the coffee
table often
makes the room feel smaller.
At a minimum, the front legs of the sofa and chairs should sit on the rug. If the room allows, placing all four legs on it can look even better. Before you buy, outline the rug’s dimensions on the floor with painter’s tape and leave it there for a day. That will help you see how much space it covers.

How big should a rug be under a dining table?
Measure the table and add at least 24 inches on every side so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
If you
have room, 30 inches gives guests more space and helps prevent chair legs from catching the rug’s edge.
If you use table leaves for holidays or gatherings, take your measurements with the leaves in place.

Should I choose a wool or synthetic rug?
Wool is an excellent choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and formal dining rooms if it fits your budget.
It wears
well, holds its pile, and can retain its appearance for years with proper care.
Polypropylene is a practical option where food, mud, or frequent spills are likely, such as playrooms, basements, sunrooms, and dining areas used by young children. It is generally easier to clean and less expensive.

What type of rug holds up best with pets?
If you have a cat, consider avoiding loop construction. Claws can catch and pull the loops.
For pets in general, look for a low- to medium-pile rug that is easy to vacuum. Check its cleaning instructions before buying so you know how to handle accidents

Do I need a rug pad on hardwood or luxury vinyl flooring?
Yes. A rug pad helps prevent slipping, adds cushioning, and protects the floor. Be sure to choose one
approved
for your specific flooring: some pad backings can react with floor finishes and cause discoloration. We
can help
match a pad to your floor when you buy your rug.
Can I get a rug made in a custom size?
Yes. We can create custom-sized rugs by binding carpet, which works well for unusual room dimensions,
stair
landings, and hallways that need a particular runner size.
Bring your measurements, and we’ll walk you through carpet and edge-finishing options, including serging, wide cotton binding, and leather binding.

How should I clean an area rug?
Vacuum regularly using a setting appropriate for your rug. Blot spills promptly with a clean white
cloth;
rubbing can spread a stain and push it deeper into the fibers.
Wool rugs may benefit from professional cleaning every couple of years. Always check the care label before using a home carpet-cleaning machine or putting a rug in the washing machine.
