How to Choose the Perfect Rug for Your Living Room (2025 Guide)

 

✅ 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

Pick a Style That Reflects Your Home

 


Popular styles in Australia for 2025 include:

 

  • Modern rugs (clean lines, neutrals, or bold abstracts)

  • Traditional rugs (classic oriental patterns)

  • Textured rugs (wool or loop pile for a cozy, layered look)

 


Explore our Shop by Style section to find your perfect match.

 

 

🌈 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

  • For eco-conscious homes, check out our natural jute and cotton rugs
