Do you need to splash out on a designer rug?
Rugs for the office – add some character to your workspace
It is a fact that offices are often rather bland, featureless spaces. This is partly by necessity. Office space tends to be rented and so cannot be too distinctive as it may need to meet the requirements of a different firm operating in a different industry at a later date. However, this doesn’t mean that [...]
Don’t forget texture when buying a rug
A good rug will have a number of different qualities. It will be the right colour and an appropriate size and shape; a patterned rug will fit well with its surroundings, adding to them rather than detracting from them; and whatever type of rug you have, it should bring warmth and homeliness to the room [...]
Choosing the right colour and pattern of rug

You will probably have a certain space you want to fill and you might find yourself taking very careful measurements before committing to a purchase. Similarly, you might be trying to match your rug to your [...]
Different looks for different seasons with different rugs
We tend to think of home décor as being something constant until we redecorate. However, that needn’t be the case. With clever use of certain items, we can change the look of our home from one season to the next.
This actually makes a lot of sense, because you will naturally want to create different [...]
Using a rug as a focal point
A rug can be used in many different ways and for many people it serves as a focal point in a room. It is something eye-catching that ties all the other elements together.

A rug with flair or something understated?
There are many things to consider when purchasing a rug and many of them are not specific features of the rug itself. For the most part, the kind of rug you will be looking for will be defined by its future surroundings.
