Six Questions to Consider When Selecting an Area Rug

Picking the perfect size rug can be tricky. There are many different ways to style a rug in your space, but one thing is for sure, they are an essential element to any design! We have a Cal King bed frame in our master bedroom and previously had it paired with a 9×12 area rug. This size definitely works and suits the size of our furniture just fine, but I wanted to try a smaller size since our bedroom scale is pretty small! The 9X12 rug took up most of the room, so this time I opted for a rug that would showcase a bit more of our floors which will help give the illusion that the room is larger than it is. Since our bedroom is very neutral, the flooring will add more warmth and contrast to the space!

I’m also loving the smaller size in this space! This time I went with a 6×9 and I love how it adds warmth and texture without taking up the whole room.

Six Questions to Consider When Selecting a Rug:

What size is best for my space?

Think about how much flooring you want to cover up, or if you want to expose more of your floor like I did!

What pile height should I look for?

Shag rugs add warmth and hide imperfections, while a low pile keeps things sleek and simple!

Would a colorful or neutral rug work best with my furnishings?

Colorful rugs make a statement while neutral ones provide you with a flexible foundation for accenting the room in a variety of ways!

Do I need a patterned or plain rug?

Playing with patterns in design helps to add dimension and texture. A plain rug will keep a space looking very clean and simple if you want to opt for a more minimal style!

How much wear and tear will the rug endure?

Consider the color and pile height based on how much traffic the rug will be getting. Opt for more durable textiles or patterns if the rug will be getting a lot of action!

What is my budget?

You can find rugs at just about any price point, so set your budget and search for one within that range! The Home Depot is sure to have one that will suit your style at a reasonable cost.
