More about Rugs

From intricately patterned Persian runners to 70s inspired shag, there’s no doubt that a well-chosen textile is the foundation of a beautiful space—it’s only a matter of finding the best fit for you. Whether you’re looking to add a little colour or simply make things a bit more comfortable, these textured floor coverings can make all the difference when transforming a stale room into something sensational.

With so many varieties to choose from, it’s key to consider which size, style and shape is ideal for your needs. For large spaces such as the living room, it’s best to cover as much ground as possible which is why a rectangular area rug is often the best fit, while smaller, in-between spaces like an entrance or hallway are best suited to narrow options like a runner. Depending on the size of your bedroom, you can either go with a small area rug or a runner placed alongside of your bed so cold mornings are met with coyness underfoot—we particularly love a high pile option for these spaces because they’re extra comfortable on bare feet and less likely to catch dirt from outdoor shoes.

Once you’ve settled on size and shape, it becomes all about colour and texture. Statement-making pieces with heavy patterns or a range of colours can help round-out a more minimalist space, giving it a focal point and more visual appeal. While we love bold textiles, it's possible to create a high-style space that’s also soothing by incorporating neutral tones as well as pastels that keep the peace. No matter which direction you go in, you can be sure that there’s an option that has you and your floors covered in lush, liveable style.
