To enhance your space, add a rug

Adding a rug to your home is a smart and stylish choice because it offers: 

• Aesthetic appeal. Imagine walking into a room and being greeted by a splash of colour, a hint of texture, and an overall sense of harmony. A rug can seamlessly tie different design elements together, making your space look thoughtfully curated.
• Comfort and warmth. There's nothing quite like the soft, plush feel of a rug under your feet. It adds a layer of comfort and cosiness, making your home feel more inviting. Especially in rooms with hard flooring, a rug or carpet can provide much-needed insulation, keeping the space warm and snug. Plush kids rugs, for example, can make the living room more play-friendly for kids.
• Quieter spaces. In areas of your home where noise tends to bounce around, like hallways or rooms with hard surfaces, a rug can be a game-changer. It absorbs sound, reducing echoes and creating a more peaceful, serene environment. This can be particularly helpful in busy households or apartments with downstairs neighbours!

Matching rug styles with room aesthetics

Discover how different styles of rugs can add just the right touch to your indoor and outdoor spaces:

Indoor rug styles and room aesthetics

• Traditional rugs. These beauties are great for rooms that have a classic or formal feel, like a traditional living room, dining room, or fancy sitting area. They bring a touch of elegance and sophistication, making your space feel more refined.
• Bohemian rugs. Love a more eclectic look? Bohemian rugs are your go-to. They're all about vibrant colours and busy patterns, perfect for boho-chic living rooms, eclectic bedrooms, or artsy studios. They add warmth, creativity, and a bit of worldly charm to your space.
• Transitional rug. If you can't decide between traditional and contemporary, transitional rugs are a great option. They mix elements from both styles, so they're super versatile. 

Outdoor rug styles and aesthetics

• Natural fibre rugs. For a natural, rustic outdoor setting, like a patio or garden area, natural fibre rugs (think jute or sisal) are perfect. They add a touch of organic texture and make your outdoor area feel cosy and connected to nature. They can even double as picnic rugs if you wish.
• Geometric rugs. For a more modern outdoor look, modern rugs with geometric patterns or stripes work wonders. They're great for minimalist outdoor lounges or sleek dining areas, helping to define the space and add a touch of sophistication.
• Colourful outdoor rugs. If your outdoor space has a bohemian or eclectic vibe, go for colourful or globally inspired rugs such as Moroccan rugs or Persian style rugs. They're ideal for making your outdoor patios or garden retreats feel playful and full of personality.

Choosing the right rug

Picking the perfect rug for your space can really transform the room. It’s not just about picking any piece; it’s about finding the one that fits just right, feels great, and looks amazing. Here’s what to consider to make the best choice:

Material

Rugs come in a variety of materials, and each has its own unique perks. If you’re after something that’s going to last and is easy to deal with stains, wool rugs are your go-to. They’re tough and naturally good at resisting those pesky spills. And if you’re all about texture and a natural vibe, check out a shag rug made from jute or sisal. Shag rugs add a fantastic earthy touch to any room.

Style

It’s all about matching the rug to your room’s personality.

Want to add a dash of elegance? Traditional rugs with their intricate patterns are like a classic piece of art for your floor. Or, if you’re feeling bold, go for a modern throw rug with eye-catching designs and bright colours (like green rugs) that match your tapestry and really make a statement. Grey rugs, on the other hand, are ideal for busier rooms to balance it out with something calm to the eyes. 

Maintenance

Let’s be practical for a moment. Consider how busy the area is where your rug will live. Lots of foot traffic? You’ll want washable rugs that are a breeze to clean. If the rug’s going in a quieter spot, you can opt for something a bit more delicate and luxurious. It’s all about balancing beauty with practicality.

By keeping these tips in mind, you’ll find a rug that’s not just a floor covering, but a piece that truly elevates the whole look and feel of your room. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I choose the right size rug for my living room in Australia?

To choose the right living room rug size, start by measuring your space. The goal is to pick a rug large enough to fit your furniture on it, creating a unified look. For smaller rooms, a rug in front of the furniture works well too. Miss Amara offers a variety of sizes, including small rugs, large rugs, oversized rugs, round rugs, and runner rugs, to suit different room sizes.

What’s the difference between hand-woven and machine-made rugs?

The main difference lies in materials, craftsmanship, and designs.

Hand-woven ones, like jute rugs or those made from natural fibres like wool, silk, or cotton, are typically crafted and braided by artisans. They may have slightly asymmetrical designs since they’re made by hand, but they’re durable. On the other hand, machine-made rugs are usually made from synthetic fibres and have perfectly symmetrical patterns and designs.

If you’re into handcrafted rugs, you’ll find a range of beautiful handmade pieces by skilled artisans here at Miss Amara. 

What types of rugs are recommended for high-traffic areas?

For high-traffic areas, durability and ease of cleaning are key. A wool area rug is great as it’s stain-resistant and can handle lots of foot traffic. A synthetic fibre rug, like nylon or polyester, is also suitable due to its easy maintenance. Flatweave rugs, being thin and lightweight, are another good option. They’re easy to move and clean, fitting various needs and preferences.
