Area Rug Tips
Choosing the right area rug for your home can be a daunting task. Thankfully, there are some key tips and tricks to ensure you get the perfect one!
1. Measure! Make sure you measure the room that it will be going in accurately so that you know what size rug to buy.
2. Consider traffic flow when selecting the placement of your area rug – if it is going into a hallway or by an entryway, make sure it is not too big or bulky as people may trip over it or be blocked off from entering/exiting easily.
3. Choose a material that suits your lifestyle – wool rugs are durable and great for high-traffic areas, while silk and cotton materials are softer and more delicate.
4. Consider color – select a rug that will match your existing décor, or choose one that will be a standout piece in the room.
5. Choose a pad or underlay to add extra cushioning and comfort underfoot, as well as protect your flooring from wear and tear.
area rug cleaning is also important – vacuum, spot clean with a mild detergent and warm water, and take it to the professionals when necessary.
If allergies can also be a concern – consider buying one that is hypoallergenic or treated with anti-allergy treatments to make sure your family stays safe.
Following the above tips can help you get the perfect area rug for your home! Happy shopping!
