Area rugs crafted for style and performance

What rug materials are available?

The material of your rug affects its softness, durability, appearance, and maintenance requirements.

• Wool area rugs: Wool rugs are soft, durable, and naturally resistant to stains. They work well in living rooms, bedrooms, and other busy areas where comfort matters.
• Synthetic area rugs: Synthetic rugs made from nylon, polyester, or polypropylene are durable, budget-friendly, and easy to clean. These are popular for homes with pets, children, or heavy foot traffic.
• Natural fiber area rugs: Natural fiber rugs like jute and sisal add texture and an organic look to a room. They pair well with farmhouse, coastal, and modern interiors.
• Cotton area rugs: Cotton rugs are lightweight, casual, and easy to maintain. Many work well in kitchens, entryways, and smaller spaces.

What size area rug should you choose?

Rug size plays a huge role in how balanced a room feels. A rug that is too small can make furniture feel disconnected.

For living room rugs, the front legs of furniture should usually rest on the rug. In dining rooms, the rug should extend beyond the table so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. Bedroom rugs should extend beyond the bed to create a soft surface around it.

Runner rugs are also popular for hallways, kitchens, and entryways.

Our design consultation team can help determine the ideal rug size for your layout and furniture arrangement.

Which rug shape works best?

Rectangular rugs are the most common, but shape can completely change the look of a room.

• Rectangular rugs: These work well in most living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and offices.
• Round rugs: Round rugs soften spaces with sharp lines and work beautifully beneath round tables or in entryways.
• Square rugs: Square rugs help create symmetry in square-shaped rooms and seating areas.
• Custom-size rugs: Some spaces require something unique. We offer custom area rug services to help create the perfect fit for your home or commercial space.

How do rug colors and patterns affect a room?

Color and pattern help shape the personality of your space.

Light-colored rugs can make a room feel brighter and more open. Darker rugs help ground a room and often hide everyday wear more effectively.

Patterned rugs add movement and visual interest while helping disguise dirt and foot traffic between cleanings.

Popular rug styles include:

• Traditional patterns
• Modern geometric designs
• Abstract looks
• Neutral textured rugs
• Vintage-inspired styles
• Minimalist solid-color rugs

Our expert design consultation team also offers 3D design services to help visualize how rugs will look in your home before making a final decision.

How do you clean and maintain area rugs?

Routine care helps area rugs stay beautiful for years.

Vacuum regularly to remove dirt before it settles deep into the fibers. Rotate rugs every few months to prevent uneven wear and fading from sunlight.

When spills happen, blot them immediately instead of rubbing them deeper into the rug. Rug pads are also recommended because they reduce slipping and help extend the life of the rug.

Professional cleaning over time can also help restore the appearance and longevity of your investment.
