THE PERFECT RUG
FINDING THE RIGHT SIZE FOR EVERY ROOM
The right rug can complete a room, adding colour, texture, and style while also making the space cosy and inviting. But it can be tricky to get the size and placement right. That's why we pulled together this quick guide by room, including tips on how to layer.
DESIGN TIPS
A popular layout is to place your furniture so that the front two legs of each sofa or chair sits on the rug.
For a larger room, you can opt for a rug that is large enough to contain all four legs of any sofas, chairs, coffee tables or side tables.
A rug should help define and accent the space, not look like wall-to-wall carpeting. Leave at least 30cm of exposed floor space between the rug and walls
DESIGN TIPS FOR
LAYERING RUGS
Why layer rugs?
∙ Define and highlight your space
∙ Add colour, texture and contrast
∙ Update the look of your space
∙ Showcase a smaller rug without
it looking too small for the space
What rugs can be used to layer?
Any rugs can be layered in your space. Try using a thin, neutral rug for a base. The top layer can be anything that fits the space.
Where can I layer rugs?
Any space can accommodate layered rugs. Try layering rugs in the living room to define the seating area, or layer with soft sheepskin rugs on either side of your bed. You can also layer in the entryway to showcase a smaller rug that doesn't quite fill the space.
