Rugs for Every Room!

Rugs offer an instant way to warm up your space, absorb sound and pull together a cohesive look. Here, the team at Originals offers tips on selecting the right one for every room of your home.

For the living room When hunting for a rug for your living room, consider it the centrepiece of your space. Ideally, the rug should be large enough to accommodate all your furniture, with at least a 20cm border visible on all sides. It's fine if your preference leans towards a smaller rug - simply arrange your seating evenly, placing the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug to anchor the space.

Incorporate a patterned or a tone-on-tone rug to add texture and vibrancy to a neutral hued room. If your furniture features patterns, opt for a solid rug or a design with subtle graphics for a refined finish.

The rug should define your living area, providing a soft surface beneath your seating to sink your feet into. If you're tossing up between a smaller and a larger rug, always size up-it helps keep the room proportionate and stops it from feeling incomplete or cramped. Here are some great options:
