A rug for every room

Before choosing colours or patterns, think about what the rug needs to do.

• Hallways, living rooms & high traffic areas need durable, easy-care rugs that resist marks and stains
• Bedrooms, lounge rooms & media rooms suit softer, plush textures
• Dining areas need rugs that handle spills and chair movement
• Kids bedrooms & play areas benefit from colour, comfort, safety, and stain resistance

A rug that’s too small can feel isolated, while the right size creates a balanced look for the room.

Quick sizing tips:

• In living rooms, the rug should sit under the front legs of sofas and chairs (or fully under all furniture for a more luxurious feel).
• In bedrooms, a large rug under the bed adds softness and warmth when you step out.
• In dining rooms, the rug should extend beyond the table so chairs stay on the rug even when pulled out.
• In hallways, a runner should leave a little floor visible on each side for a clean border.

Different materials suit different rooms — to ensure your rug lasts, consider the options available.

• Wool: soft, durable, naturally insulating and long-lasting
• Polypropylene: affordable, stain-resistant and great for high traffic areas
• Cotton: lightweight and easy to clean, ideal for casual spaces
• Jute or natural fibres: earthy texture and great for relaxed, coastal looks
• Shag or plush pile: ultra cosy, best for low-traffic areas like bedrooms
• If you have pets or children, consider low-pile rugs that are easier to vacuum and clean.
