Here are some suggestions for the types of rugs to buy based on specific rooms in your house:

  • What Types Of Area Rugs To Buy For The Living Room?

    • For the living room, a large, soft plush area rug with a higher pile can help create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in your living room. Look for rugs that are easy to maintain and keep clean that were made from durable materials. Consider a rug with a pattern or design to add visual interest to the room.
  • What Types Of Area Rugs To Buy For The Bedroom?

    • In the bedroom, you may want a softer, more luxurious rug that feels good underfoot. A shag rug or a fluffy wool rug can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Look for rugs with muted colors and subtle patterns that complement your bedding and other decor.
  • What Types Of Area Rugs To Buy For The Dining Room?

    • For your dining room, you would want to get a lower pile rug, made from durable materials, like wool. Choose a rug that is forgiving as far as spills and stains and that is large enough to accommodate your dining table and chairs. Most decorators will recommend having at least 24 inches of rug extending beyond the edges of the table.
  • What Types Of Area Rugs To Buy For The Kitchen?

    • In the kitchen, you’ll want a rug that is both easy to clean and slip-resistant. Look for a rug made from materials like vinyl or rubber that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Alternatively, you can choose a low-pile rug made from natural fibers like cotton or wool that can be easily tossed in the washing machine.
  • What Types Of Area Rugs To Buy For The Entryway?

    • In the entryway you want to buy a durable rug made from materials that will work well in the entryway, where foot traffic is high. Look for a rug that is large enough to accommodate shoes and boots, with at least 18 inches of rug extending beyond the edges of the door.
  • What Types Of Area Rugs To Buy For A Boudoir / Powder Room?

    • For a boudoir or powder room, you’ll want to choose a rug that add a touch of luxury and elegance to the space.

    • For a sunroom, you’ll want to choose rugs that are durable and can withstand exposure to sunlight without fading. Sunrooms tend to have more humidity so you want to keep that aspect in mind as well.

      • Playroom rugs: A low-pile rug made from natural materials can work well in a playroom, where spills and messes are common. Look for a rug with bright colors or fun patterns that will appeal to kids and add a playful touch to the room as well as hide any spills.
      • Rugs for the nursery: In a nursery, you may want a softer rug that provides a comfortable surface for babies to crawl and play on. Look for a rug made from natural fibers like wool rugs or silk rugs, or plush shag rugs, which can provide cushioning and insulation on hardwood or tile floors.
      • Rugs for older kids’ room: As kids get older, they may have specific interests or design preferences of their own. Talking with them will influence the type of rug you choose. Look for rugs with patterns or designs that reflect your child’s interests or hobbies, or choose a neutral rug that can grow with your child as their tastes change over time.

Remember that in addition to choosing the right type of area rugs for each room, you’ll also want to consider the size, shape, and color of the rug to ensure that it complements your decor and fits your space.

Can you have different rugs in different rooms?

Of course! You can definitely have different types, origins and rug ages in different rooms. In fact, using different rugs in different rooms is a great way to create distinct and unique spaces within your home. For example, you may want to go with antique rugs in one room, vintage rugs in another and maybe modern rugs in “less important” spaces. In addition, you may want some rooms to look for formal so fine high quality rugs like the more intricate Persian rugs may work best. While in more casual setting, rugs that more tribal in feel may work better, such as Oushak rugs or Persian Heriz Serapi and Bakshaish Rugs or even the vintage Scandinavian rugs and / or Moroccan rugs.
