Buying a new rug

The addition of a rug to a room is not only a practical solution; protecting a carpet or making a bare floor seem warmer, it is also useful to help bring colour and style to your design scheme. Whatever room you are looking to purchase a rug for, here are the different shapes that are available to help you choose the best one for you.

Square: A square rug is ideal for a small room and is perfect for under a dining or coffee table.

Round: Using a round rug is a good way to soften the look of your room if you have furniture which has sharp angles.

Runner: These are thin long rectangular rugs mostly used in hallways. They add texture and colour to a hall and make the space look longer.

Rectangular: These are the most popular option and can be placed in front of a sofa in the middle of a room. Using them right up to the edges of a room gives the impression that it is fully carpeted.
