Wool and polyester rugs can both be attractive choices, but they have different characteristics. Consider feel, appearance, room use, care and budget.

Wool

Wool is a natural fibre with a soft, warm feel and long history in floor coverings. It can suit living rooms, bedrooms and premium interiors.

Polyester

Polyester is a synthetic fibre commonly used in soft, colourful and decorative rugs. It can be a practical option where softness and appearance are important.

Choose by room

For busy areas, focus on the specific construction and care instructions of the rug rather than material name alone.
