Area Rugs Sales &
Installation
FASHIONABLE. FUNCTIONAL.
VERSATILE.
Area rugs serve a wide
variety of purposes in home
décor. They can be used to
tie the look of a room
together much as a scarf
pulls an outfit together.
Area rugs help define
separate spaces within a
larger room or add a touch
of warmth and color to a
hardwood or tile floor. They
can also serve as a link
between rooms. And these are
just some of the
possibilities.
Because they serve such a
wide variety of roles, area
rugs come in all shapes,
colors, textures, and sizes.
Be it wild or subtle,
extravagant or simple, these
rugs are an easy way to
express your decorative
flair.
While there’s no
installation per se, larger
area rugs usually require
the movement of furniture.
The amount of care needed to
help maintain the beauty of
these rugs will vary
according to rug’s material
and construction as well as
the specific usage.
The first rule of choosing
an area rug is to understand
there really are no rules
per se. Since much of the
selection process is based
on your own personal taste
and sense of style, we
simply offer some general
guidelines instead.
SIZE GUIDELINES
-
Room size rugs should
leave a border of 18" to
24" on all sides.
-
Dining room rugs should
measure at least 4'
longer and wider than
the dining room table,
so chairs will not fall
off the rug when pushed
back from the table.
-
Hallway rugs should be
approximately 2" to 4"
narrower and 18" to 24"
shorter than the
hallway.
-
Other area rugs will
vary in size according
to need.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
-
Try using different
patterns that use some
common colors in the
same room for a
coordinated look that is
also fresh.
-
Don’t get boxed in by
traditional rectangular
or square rugs. Consider
oval and round shapes as
a way to inject new life
in a room.
WEAR GUIDELINES
-
Consider traffic
patterns, exposure to
spills, and other wear
factors when choosing
area rugs.
