Rug Sets

There’s no better way to pull together the living spaces in your home than to add a coordinating area rug set. Area rugs instantly soften a room and make it cozier and more welcoming. Plus, with so many options to choose from, you’re sure to find a set that fits your personal interior design style. But before you dig into complementary color palettes and patterns, here are a few key things to consider when purchasing an area rug set.

Find the Right Size Area Rug Set
How do you find area rug sets that include the right sizes? Think about the dimensions of the space you’re going to put them. That’ll help you determine if you should be looking for 3-piece rug sets with one large rug and two smaller rugs or 5-piece area rug sets with multiple different size and shape options included. If you have an open concept living and dining area, opt for a larger area rug set with enough rugs to place under your dining room table, coffee tables, the couch and more.

Find the Right Shape Area Rugs
Shape is another important thing to think about when purchasing an area rug set. If the room you’re shopping for consists predominantly of simple, clean lines, square or rectangular area rugs are your best choice. Round and oblong area rugs are perfect for foyers, passageways, vignettes, entrances or any room with curved architecture.

Find the Perfect Place for Your Area Rugs
One of the main reasons for buying area rugs is to protect your hardwood or vinyl floors. So, you’ll want to place the biggest area rugs right in the center of the room where most of the foot traffic will be. You’ll also want to make sure that all your furniture is resting on your area rugs, to keep the legs from scraping your flooring. Well-placed bath rugs add a perfect touch of color and absorb water to prevent slippery tiles.

The Importance Of Rug Pads
Although rug pads might seem like a useless add-on, they’re way more important than you think. First and foremost, a rug pad can help prevent falls and accidents because they keep your area rugs from slipping and sliding around the room. They also provide an extra layer of protection that helps prolong the life of your rug as well as the flooring beneath. Lastly, a rug pad also adds another layer of cushioning and soundproofing for heavy footsteps.
