REGULAR READERS MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT WE’RE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR INTERIOR DESIGN INSPIRATION. FROM A GREAT PAINT SHADE TO WALL ART, FLOORING AND BEDROOM DÉCOR, WE’RE BOOKMARKING IT ALL IN A BID TO MAKE HOME SWEET HOME FEEL EVEN SWEETER! SO WHEN THE TEAM AT LAND OF RUGS EXPLAINED THAT THERE’S A SIMPLE SYSTEM YOU CAN USE TO PICK THE PERFECT RUG TO COMPLEMENT YOUR ROOM, WE WANTED IN ON ALL THEIR RUG-RELATED SECRETS!
Having picked out one or two rugs over the years that looked perfect in the showroom and then never quite looked ‘at home’ when we actually got them home, we’ve been avoiding them ever since (although we kind of miss their tactile charm, especially on chilly evenings).
His & Hers had always assumed that the secret to picking the right rug all comes down to having a good eye (and keeping track of dimensions). However, our friends at Land of Rugs taught us that there’s more to it than that. Did you know, for example, that a thick carpet calls for a thin rug and vice versa?
They’ve compiled this handy infographic (below) to help you to find the ideal rug for every flooring type. We’ve tried using it ourselves and have decided that it’s finally time to try picking a stylish rug again. If you end up using these tips to find a rug that doesn’t clash with your flooring, please tell us all about it in the comments section. Or if you’ve ever bought a rug that was completely the wrong size or style for your home, please tell us about that, too!
