Find the Right Rug for Your Living Room
A living room rug helps connect your sofa, armchairs and coffee table into one inviting space. Before choosing, measure your seating area and consider how much of the floor you want to leave visible. A rug that sits beneath the front legs of your seating can help the arrangement feel more cohesive.
Think about the balance of the room, too. If your sofa or curtains already feature a strong pattern, a quieter rug can give the space a calmer feel. A patterned rug can introduce interest when your furniture and walls are more understated.
Add Comfort to Your Bedroom
A bedroom rug adds texture and a softer surface where you step out of bed. Position it beneath part of the bed or alongside it, depending on your layout and the space available.
Measure around bedside tables, wardrobes and doors before deciding on a size. The rug should complement the room without making furniture harder to use or restricting movement.
How to Choose a Rug
Size and Placement
Use masking tape to mark the rug’s proposed position on the floor. This makes it easier to judge its proportions before ordering. Check the dimensions of the individual product rather than relying on photographs alone.
Colour and Pattern
Take your cue from the furniture, flooring and accessories you already own. Similar tones can create a coordinated look, while a contrasting colour or pattern can make the rug a focal point.
Material and Care
Choose with the room’s daily use in mind. Check each rug’s material, pile and care instructions, especially for busy spaces or homes with pets. Follow the product’s cleaning guidance to help keep it looking its best.

Rug Buying FAQs
What size rug should I choose for my living room?
Measure the seating area first. A useful starting point is a rug large enough to sit beneath the front legs of your sofa and armchairs. Mark the dimensions on the floor to check how the size works with your layout.
Where should I place a bedroom rug?
You can place a rug beneath part of the bed or alongside it. Aim to cover the area where you naturally step out of bed, while keeping doors and access to storage clear.
Should a rug match the sofa?
A rug does not need to match the sofa exactly. Choose colours that work together and consider the room as a whole, including the floor, curtains and cushions.
Do I need a rug underlay?
A suitable rug underlay can help reduce movement and add cushioning. Check that it is compatible with both your rug and flooring, and follow the manufacturers’ guidance.
How should I clean my rug?
Follow the care instructions for the specific rug. Vacuum as recommended and deal with spills promptly by blotting rather than rubbing. Check whether professional cleaning is required before using cleaning products.
