Rug Buying Guide

A well-sized rug helps define a space and makes furniture feel connected. Measure first, then consider the room’s traffic, floor surface, and cleaning routine.

Choose the placement

In a seating area, aim for the main furniture to relate clearly to the rug’s edges. In a bedroom, consider how much rug you want visible beside and at the foot of the bed.

Compare fibers and pile

Fiber and pile height affect texture, feel, and maintenance. A low pile is often easier to place under doors and furniture; follow the product’s care instructions.

Plan for the floor

A compatible rug pad can help limit movement and add cushioning. Check the pad size and floor compatibility before use.
