Which area rug material is right for you?

The material you choose affects your rug's appearance, durability, and maintenance requirements.


  • Wool rugs are naturally soft, durable, and resilient, making them an excellent choice for living rooms and bedrooms.
  • Synthetic fibers, including polypropylene and polyester, offer stain resistance, affordability, and easy maintenance. They're ideal for active households with kids or pets.
  • Natural fibers such as jute, sisal, and seagrass create a relaxed, textured look that's perfect for coastal and casual interiors.

Our flooring specialists can help you compare materials and select one that fits your lifestyle.

What size area rug should you choose?

Choosing the correct size helps your room feel balanced and complete.


For living rooms, larger rugs that extend beneath the front legs of sofas and chairs create a cohesive seating area. Dining room rugs should be large enough that chairs remain on the rug when pulled away from the table. In bedrooms, rugs that extend beyond the sides and foot of the bed provide added comfort when you step out each morning.


If you're unsure which size is best, we'll help you select one that fits your room and furniture layout.

Which rug shape works best?

While rectangular rugs remain the most popular choice, other shapes can create a unique look.


Round rugs soften spaces filled with straight lines and pair beautifully with round dining tables or entryways. Runner rugs are perfect for hallways, kitchens, and other narrow spaces. Square rugs work well in square rooms, while oval rugs offer a softer, more decorative appearance.


The right shape helps create visual balance throughout your home.

How do you choose the right area rug color?

Color has a significant impact on the overall feel of a room.


Light colors can make smaller spaces appear larger and brighter, while darker shades create warmth and help disguise everyday dirt. Neutral rugs offer timeless versatility, while bold colors provide contrast and become a focal point.


Whether you want your rug to blend seamlessly with your flooring or make a statement, we'll help you find the perfect color.

Should you choose a patterned or solid rug?

Both styles offer unique advantages.


Solid rugs create a clean, timeless look that complements nearly any décor. Patterned rugs add visual interest while helping disguise everyday wear and small stains.


Popular designs include geometric, floral, abstract, striped, traditional, and distressed patterns. No matter your decorating style, there's a pattern that can complete your space.

How do you clean and maintain area rugs?

Proper maintenance helps your rug stay beautiful for years.


Vacuum regularly using the proper setting for the rug's material. Rotate your rug every few months to encourage even wear and reduce fading from sunlight. Blot spills immediately instead of rubbing them deeper into the fibers. A quality rug pad helps prevent slipping while protecting both the rug and the floor beneath it.


For high-traffic areas, occasional professional cleaning can help restore the rug's appearance and extend its lifespan.
