DESIGN TIPS

  • Choose a dining table that leaves at least 36 inches of clearance from the walls on all sides, allowing for chair movement and comfortable guest access.
  • Ensure there is about 12 inches between the seat of the chair and the tabletop. This allows diners to sit comfortably without their knees touching the table.

  • When selecting a rug for the bedroom, choose materials that are soft to the touch and easy to clean. Since comfort is a priority in the bedroom, a rug that feels soft underfoot is ideal.

DESIGN TIPS

  • In front of the sink: A small rug or bath mat can provide comfort and absorb water.
  • Beside the bath or shower: Place a bathroom rug where you step out after bathing to prevent slips and provide warmth.
  • In front of the toilet: A contour rug or a small rectangular rug can be used for additional warmth and comfort.
  • Safety is paramount in bathroom rug selection. Ensure the rug is equipped with a non-slip backing to keep it firmly in place, even when the floor is wet.

DESIGN TIPS

  • Runners: Long, narrow runners are ideal for hallways because they fit the typical shape of the space. Make sure the runner is slightly narrower than the hallway to allow some of the floor to show on each side.
  • Length: For a balanced look, choose a hallway runner that doesn't extend the entire length of the hallway. Leave some space at each end.
  • Hallways often lack natural light, so using lighter colors can help make the space feel larger and more welcoming.
  • Patterns can help hide dirt and footprints. Geometric patterns or stripes can also create the illusion of length or width in the hallway.

DESIGN TIPS

  • Choose an entryway rug that is proportionate to the size of your entryway. It should be large enough to comfortably fit both feet on it when stepping through the door.
  • Consider the door opening: Ensure the rug is low-profile so the door can open freely without catching on the rug.
  • Choose a color and pattern that hides dirt and mud effectively. Dark colors and complex patterns can be very forgiving for showing less dirt.
  • The rug's design should complement the interior style of your home. Whether traditional, modern, or eclectic, the entryway rug can be a statement piece or a subtle introduction to your home’s aesthetic.

  • Safety Enhancement: Rug pads prevent slipping and bunching, reducing the risk of trips and falls by securing the rug firmly in place on hard surfaces.
  • Floor Protection: A rug pad acts as a buffer between the rug and the floor, protecting the surface from scratches, stains, and wear caused by foot traffic.

Rug Pads

  • Durability: Using a rug pad can extend the life of your rug by minimizing wear and tear. The pad absorbs the impact of footsteps and furniture, distributing pressure evenly.
