Best Rugs for High Traffic Areas
Busy living rooms, hallways, family rooms and entrances need rugs that suit everyday use. Focus on construction, pile, cleaning requirements and placement.
Practical materials
Polypropylene and other synthetic constructions can provide practical everyday choices. Runners can be useful in narrow, high-use areas.
Keep the rug easy to manage
Choose a size that does not interfere with doors or walkways, and follow the manufacturer's care instructions. A suitable rug pad or non-slip solution can also help where appropriate.

Outdoor and Alfresco Areas
High-use areas are not limited to indoor rooms. Covered patios and alfresco spaces can also benefit from a rug that visually anchors a dining or lounge setting. If you are furnishing an indoor-outdoor area, explore our outdoor rugs from the Patio and Barton ranges.
