Four to the floor

Floor rugs are an essential part to your home décor dreams.

From warming up your home in the cool Winter months, to filling an empty space, defining rooms, to completing your design visions; rugs fulfil a functional and aesthetic or inviting appeal to any living space.

Often there are so many choices when it comes to choosing the perfect rug for your space – different colours, textures, sizes and materials – that it becomes conflicting. It’s important to go with a rug that offers you choice and fits your lifestyle. For instance, a hallway runner should be durable and long lasting to withstand the high traffic area. An area rug in the living or dining rooms should feel soft a foot, comforting and relaxing. Rugs can also aid in noise reduction in the home, helping to create a more tranquil living environment.

Rugs can be the highlight of your room, with strong geometric patterns and bold colours or blend in as a soft addition to the living space. Rugs can even assist in developing décor themes in rooms from children’s rooms to that inspired spare bedroom. Apart from appearance, homes with hard floors can benefit greatly from rugs in the home, rugs trap allergens which might otherwise be floating in the air. Further, rugs are the perfect anchor point for your furniture. It is easier to build your ideal living space around a shape.

These days rugs extend beyond the norm living or dining room. Hard and durable outdoor living rugs can expand your outdoor dining experiences and are the perfect poolside accessory, after all… we’re all dreaming of Summer to return.
