The rug has to fit the room – in more ways than one. Consider how the room is used, how much traffic the area gets and who will view it under what light. For high-traffic areas such as hallways and foyers, you may want a durable, patterned rug.
Size up the size of the room and the area you want to cover. The most common area rug sizes are 4-by-6 and 6-by-9 feet. They work well under
a coffee table. An 8-by-11 foot rug or larger can cover an entire room. Smaller area and scatter rugs can be ideal for adorning smaller
spaces – a hearth, a bedside, the area in front of a kitchen sink – with
a splash of color and warmth.
A rug with a bold, overall design can be the focal point of a room with a chair or sofa in solid or subdued patterns.
Choose a rug that will perform well with the right combination of
density and fiber. The denser the pile (with closer tufts or stitches) the better your rug will wear.
Don’t be boxed in by the idea of getting a rectangular rug. A circular or octagonal-shaped floor covering can add flair.
Remember to take a swatch of any fabrics you’d like to match with
you when you shop for a rug. That way, you’ll have a better idea of
what will complement your existing décor.
