Custom living room rugs

What are the best rugs for a living room?

Finding just the right living room rug for your space is very much about personal preference, but it’s also about practicality. If your living room rug is going to get heavy traffic (think: pets, kids, and lots of company), you might want to consider a cut and loop wool blend. Wool blended rugs are easy to clean, quite durable and are often soft rugs for your living room. If your living room rug is more for show and style, the sky's the limit: cozy and textural, high shine, or take your pick from a multitude of rug materials.

That said, a large living room rug is usually better as bigger rugs tend to make your room look more spacious. Deciding on a rug size for your living room can be tricky, however.

Help me with my living room rug placement, please.

Deciding exactly where to place a rug in a living room may seem tricky at first, but if you keep a few simple things in mind, your living room rug will ground your space elegantly. We think the single most important aspect to consider is size. Undoubtedly, a large living room rug will be able to accommodate all of the furniture in your seating area and extend well beyond it. Placing your living room rug in this way will provide an anchor for often disparate decor in your space. Don’t forget to consider centering your living room rug (to add harmony and balance) and think about how you could layer rugs in your living room (to add interest and texture).
