The use of contemporary living room rugs is a rising trend in interior design. With such a wide choice of contemporary rugs, it’s easy to find the perfect one to give your living room a modern design touch.
Don't miss your chance to buy contemporary rugs for your home and turn your space into a work of art.

Here are the characteristics to take into consideration:

  • material;
  • size;
  • shape;
  • colour.

 

Material

The first thing to look at when choosing a rug is the material it is made of. First, a distinction must be made between handmade rugs (more valuable, more expensive and made from natural fibres) and machine-made ones (less valuable, cheaper, resistant and made from synthetic fibres).

Size

Rugs come in many different sizes and it is important to consider this aspect carefully. The size of the rug must therefore be right for the size of the room and the type of décor.
You can choose from our standard sizes or opt for customised ones to suit your space perfectly.

Shape

The shape of the rug should be decided based on the size: it should not be too big if it is to be used in a small room because this would make the room look even smaller and, vice versa, a small rug in a very large room would not create the warm, embracing effect it would if it were the right size. The general rule of thumb is 60 cm from the walls, so not reaching the skirting board, and in any case at least 20 cm from each piece of furniture.

Colour

The “chromatic element”, meaning both the mix of colours and the pattern, is one of the most important aspects to consider to find the right match between rugs and flooring. To make the right choice it is a good idea to consider the brightness of the floor and the colour of the walls. Light-coloured floors call for darker or brightly coloured rugs, while pastels or brilliant hues are preferable on dark floors.
