Shop beautiful area rugs for every lifestyle

What area rug shape is right for your room?

Choosing the right shape helps create balance throughout your space.

Rectangular rugs are the most versatile and work well in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and offices. Square rugs complement square rooms and furniture arrangements, while round rugs soften rooms filled with straight lines and pair beautifully with round dining tables or entryways.

Runner rugs are perfect for hallways, kitchens, stairways, and other narrow spaces where extra comfort and protection are needed.

How do you choose the right rug size?

A properly sized rug helps tie a room together. A rug that's too small can make furniture feel disconnected, while a larger rug creates a more cohesive design.

Living room rugs should be large enough for the front legs of sofas and chairs to rest on the rug.

Dining room rugs should extend beyond the table so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out. In bedrooms, rugs that extend beyond the bed create a soft, comfortable surface to step onto each morning.

Our team can help you select the ideal size for your room and furniture layout.

Which area rug color should you choose?

Color has a significant impact on the look and feel of a room.

Light-colored rugs help spaces feel larger and brighter, while neutral shades like gray, beige, taupe, and greige coordinate with nearly any decorating style. Darker colors create warmth and can better disguise everyday dirt in busy households.

If you'd like to make a statement, bold colors can become a beautiful focal point. When selecting a rug, consider your flooring, furniture, wall color, and lighting to create a balanced design.

What rug patterns are available?

Pattern is an excellent way to express your style.

Traditional floral and oriental-inspired area rugs provide timeless elegance, while geometric patterns complement modern interiors. Abstract designs add artistic flair, and subtle textured patterns create visual interest without overwhelming the room.

If your furniture already features bold fabrics, a simpler rug often provides balance. Neutral furnishings, on the other hand, pair beautifully with more decorative rug patterns.

Which rug material is best?

The right material depends on your lifestyle and where the rug will be used.

Wool rugs are naturally durable, soft, and stain-resistant. Polypropylene and polyester offer excellent value while resisting stains and fading, making them popular for active households.

Nylon provides exceptional durability in high-traffic areas, while natural fibers like jute and sisal create an organic, casual look that's perfect for many contemporary homes.

We'll help you choose a material that matches your needs and maintenance preferences.

Where can you use area rugs?

Area rugs work in almost every room of your home. Popular locations include:

• Living rooms
• Bedrooms
• Dining rooms
• Home offices
• Entryways
• Hallways
• Kitchens
• Family rooms
• Finished basements

They also pair beautifully with hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, tile, and other hard surface flooring. Area rugs help define spaces in open floor plans while adding comfort exactly where you need it.

How do you maintain area rugs?

Routine maintenance helps keep your rug looking its best.

Vacuum regularly using the appropriate setting for the rug's material. Blot spills immediately instead of rubbing them to prevent stains from spreading. Rotating your area rug every few months promotes even wear and reduces fading caused by sunlight.

A quality rug pad improves comfort, minimizes slipping, and protects both your rug and the flooring beneath it. Professional cleaning every few years can also extend the life of your investment.
