✅ 1.
Choose the Right Rug Size
One of the most common mistakes is going too small. For a typical living room:
-
Large rugs (240x330cm or 300x400cm) are best for open layouts
-
Make sure your rug sits under the front legs of your sofa to anchor the space
-
Round rugs work beautifully under coffee tables in smaller rooms
🎨 2.

🌈 3.
Choose the Right Colour
Use a rug to balance your existing palette:
-
Neutral tones like beige, ivory, or grey are timeless and calming
-
Add warmth with earthy tones like rust, terracotta, or olive green
-
Want a statement? Try a deep navy or charcoal to ground your space
👣 4.
Consider Texture and Material
-
For a soft, plush feel: go for tufted or wool rugs
-
Need something durable and pet/kid-friendly? Try polypropylene or washable rugs
