The easiest way to choose a rug is to work through five decisions: room, size, colour, material and budget.

1. Start with the room

Living rooms often need enough coverage to connect seating. Bedrooms need comfortable coverage around the bed. Dining rooms need enough rug beyond the table for chairs. Hallways often suit runners.

2. Choose the size

Measure the available floor area and furniture footprint. Compare 160x230, 200x290, 240x330 and larger sizes.

3. Choose colour

Neutral colours such as grey, beige and cream are easy to coordinate. Blue and patterned rugs can add contrast.

4. Choose material and pile

Wool offers a natural feel, while polypropylene and other synthetic constructions can provide practical everyday options. Shaggy rugs add softness but need appropriate care.

5. Check the product details

Before ordering, check exact dimensions, construction, care instructions, available colours and delivery information on the individual product page.
