How To Shop For A Rug
Unlock the secrets to successful rug shopping and elevate your space effortlessly. Whether it's for personal use, or for a gift, our guide simplifies the process, helping you find the perfect rug to complement your style and needs.

Start by choosing the size and shape that fit best, as these elements stay the same no matter the style or color.
Decide on a style, whether that’s traditional, transitional, or modern.
Think about a color range that will complement the room.
Decide if the rug will be the centerpiece for decorating, or if it should match your current decor.
While budget is important, don’t let it be the only factor; consider the rug’s construction and material to guide you toward the perfect choice for your space.
Measure the room carefully and refer to a placement guide to find the right rug size for each room and layout. Generally, a good rule is to leave at least 12–24 inches between the edges of the rug and the walls.
No, it’s not necessary for all rugs in a home to match. Think of rugs as individual pieces of art, adding unique character to each room. However, if multiple rugs are visible from a single area, it’s best if their colors harmonize.
Yes, it can. Selecting the right rug size is a bit like Goldilocks—you want it just right! An overly large rug can dominate the space, making the room feel confined. Aim to keep a bare minimum of 12–24 inches between the rug’s edge and the walls.
Not if the size is right. A rug that’s too small can actually make the room feel smaller, while a well-sized rug can create the illusion of more space.
Size
Selecting the right rug size is crucial as it defines the layout of your space and enhances visual harmony. A well-proportioned rug anchors furniture and creates a cohesive ambiance, transforming your room into a stylish sanctuary

Construction
There are many methods for crafting area rugs. While modern manufacturers often rely on high-speed, precision machine looms, a wide array of popular rug styles are still created with the skill and expertise of seasoned artisans.

Flat-Woven
Flat-woven rugs are crafted by tightly interweaving yarn along a base structure of warp threads. With no knots, these rugs lie flat and are often reversible. Persian kilims are a well-known type of flat-woven rug, popular both as floor accents and for their traditional, decorative designs.

Braided
Originally common in Colonial American homes, braided rugs are made using various techniques, such as banded, cloth, flat, and yarn braiding. Often crafted from 100% wool, these thick rugs are reversible, allowing for a longer lifespan when flipped periodically.

Hand-Knotted
Hand-knotted rugs begin with vertical yarns, known as warps, stretched across a loom. Wool tufts are then tied around these warps, forming rows of tight knots that create the rug’s pile. Once a row is tied, horizontal yarns called wefts are woven across the warps, securing the knots and providing structure.

Power-Loomed
Power-loomed rugs, typically made from synthetic materials like polyester or polypropylene, are produced on automated looms driven by computer systems. This technique is highly efficient, making power-loomed rugs a cost-effective option. They feature a latex backing that secures the fibers in place.
Styles
From traditional to modern, and everything in between, we have the perfect rug style for any space.
