Rug Buying Guide



Measure your room carefully and use a placement guide to determine the size of rug you need. Ideal sizes change from room to room and with different furniture layouts. But a good rule of thumb is to keep a minimum of 12-24 inches between the edges of the rug and your walls.

Size is one of the key components in buying a rug. Size is determined by where your rug will lay in the room. As a rule of thumb, bigger is usually better. Larger rugs anchor a space and offer visual interest. In a dining or living room, at least two legs of all your furniture should fit on the rug. Smaller rugs are better used as accents, in minimal spaces like entryways, or between the sink and island in the kitchen.


My biggest regret was not buying a rug pad for my wool living room rug. There are two indents on the rug from the weight of the front couch legs. When I switched the position of the rug, I was stuck with two indents in the carpet that a pad would have easily prevented.


A great rug adds more to a space than just color, pattern, or texture. Visually, it helps to ground furniture and define a space; functionally, it protects floors, absorbs noise, and provides plush padding underfoot. Want to get the most from your rug purchase? Consider both the style and the purpose of your space. Let this area-rug buying guide serve as your starting point.


Give your feet a soft surface to land on every morning by choosing an area rug that extends 18 to 24 inches beyond each side of the bed. If your bed is flanked by nightstands, measure the distance from outer edge to edge of both nightstands, and use this width as your guide. When determining the length of the rug, account for any furniture (like a bench or pair of ottomans) at the foot of the bed: All four legs of the piece should either fit on or off the rug.


Before you forge ahead with your rug buying, you need to decide whether you want to buy a tribal or a city rug. Another important aspect that you should keep in mind when buying Persian rugs is that you cannot compare tribal rugs and city rugs.


If the rug has fringes at either end, the fringes should be neatly cut and the ends secured neatly and tightly. Cotton fringes are the best but wool is also good. It is best to avoid buying rugs that have discolored fringes or if the fringes are made of any fabric other than cotton or wool.


Do you have a rough guide for an office? My office size is similar to your latest two day transformation office re-do. I have a desk and chair set up like that office, but two vintage barrel cane chairs facing the desk. Does the whole arrangement need to be on a rug?


The shape you choose will likely depend on the size, shape, and style of the room as well as the aesthetic effect you want it to have on the space. Let the layout of your room and your furniture arrangement guide you. A small circular table looks great sitting on a larger circular rug, for example, while a standard living room arrangement often calls for a rectangular rug.


Proportions between the size of the room and the size of your furniture, the orientation of a rug to your couch or the length of the room, and the colors or patterns in the rug all need to be considered. Here are our tips and guidelines for finding that perfect size and achieving balance in any space.


The first step in maintaining your rug or carpet is selecting durable and appropriate materials based on intended use and lifestyle. To protect and prolong the lifespan of your rug, take proper care of it. All of our weaves come with guidelines for care and maintenance that are accessible under the Care tab on each weave page, but here are a few time-tested recommendations:

Rug pads can help rugs stay put, provide cushioning, protect floors, and extend the life of a rug. You may not need a rug pad if your rugs already have a rubberized nonskid backing. For this guide, we focused on rug pads that can work on wood, tile, or other hard floors; we did not look at pads or tape intended for use on wall-to-wall carpeting.


In 2020, we did another search for new rug pads that may have become available since we published this guide. Finding no new models that fit our criteria, we opted to test our original three picks again to confirm that they were still as well-made as they were when we first tried them. We conducted tests similar to previous years, placing them on both concrete and hardwood floors and topping them with rugs of different thickness and pile. Our tests confirmed that our picks remain the best at providing cushion and slip-resistance.


The Minneapolis-based purveyor of furniture and accessories recently rolled out a rug buying guide blog at bellacor.com/blog/rug-buying-guide aimed at offering consumers a similar level of expertise they might find in a store.


Plans for the buying guide materialized in late 2015, and it went live earlier this year. Weinert said the time in development was to make sure that the guide answered any questions a consumer might have when shopping for a rug.


Considering the cost alone, buying rugs, that are antique, may seem like the expensive choice but the truth may just surprise you. The prices of antique and vintage rugs have dropped significantly in recent years. On the flip side, the prices for many of the good productions of contemporary modern rugs have escalated tremendously. While this may seem counter intuitive, there are reasons why the antique rugs may be less expensive than the newly made rugs of today.


Some of the factors that may contribute to the escalating prices of newly made rugs are things like fuel costs, labor costs, taxes, costs of materials, paying the manufacturer, paying the wholesaler, paying the rug retailer and so forth. So once you start adding up the production costs and the number of hands it goes through, you end up with a product that is made today but costs more than buying an antique rug.


There are many fabric swatches that will complement any fabulous rug but while not impossible, it is more restricting to find rugs that you love that will work with fabrics. To begin the adventure of buying antique rugs two things must be established before we have fun.


Once you have determined the size and budget, the adventure of finding the right rug for you can begin. If you have already picked a color scheme, or are buying a rug for an already furnished room, make sure you bring swatches with you.


To a rug enthusiast, the rug is more like a painting. It is a focus for detailed attention. It should go with the accompanying décor, but it is not immediately subordinate to it. For this type of individual interested in buying antique rugs, there are various levels of concern and interest.


By the late nineteen nineties, such production had become standard, largely supplanting the less authentic design trends and synthetic dyes that had come to dominate oriental rug weaving throughout the twentieth century. Consequently, it now seems to many potential rug buyers that they no longer need to go to the expense of buying an antique rug.


We know that rug shopping can be hard: there are a lot of size decisions, many price points, endless material and color options, and numerous retail outlets to choose from. Here are some guidelines to help you choose the right rug for your home or office


The right rug can have a transformative effect on your space, adding warmth, texture and colour, but with so many sizes, styles and types available, it can be hard to find the perfect one for your home. This guide will help you to understand exactly what type of rug will suit your interior and lifestyle, with information and advice about everything from pile height to patterns.


Since it's a natural material jute is classified as eco-friendly, so it's a material you can feel good about buying. Jute has an earthy vibe that offers a coastal rustic feel.

The biggest decision you need to make before buying a tufting gun is whether or not you want a loop pile or cut pile model. There are also some that can do both, but most combination models are time-consuming and difficult to swap.


Depending on the model, there may be a knob at the base of the handle to adjust speed. Other models support both 110V and 220V power, so swapping to a regular outlet may slow the speed. Many shops also allow you to choose the plug type when buying.


There are essential issues that you need to consider while buying a Turkish rug, since there is a vast difference in its materials, workmanship, color, dyes, weave and many other indicators of quality. Hence, the rug prices are not necessarily based on their size. The biggest influence on the cost of a rug is the number of knots per inch. Specifically, silk rugs hold 400 knots per inch. As such, in some places the square meter of the rug varies between $4000 and $6000, since the price of the rug varies depending on the number of stitches. In some rugs, 1 square meter of silk carpet has 1 million knots. Hence, the price goes up. A master of this handcraft also explains that they do weaving of different motifs and designs with distinct colors, which all changes the price of the rug.


Due to the confusion created by the term quality in the rug industry, those who want to buy a rug that has quality are generally interested in rugs with high knot density. However, the assumption that the quality of the rug increases as the knot frequency increases may not always be true. No matter how high the knot frequency is, a rug with poor wool and bad dye quality is definitely not a rug that is worth buying. Therefore, knot density should not be taken as the only indicator of a quality rug. 041b061a72
